I have the LT5 engine with the Ricardo transaxle. Had a custom twin disc with Kevlar plates made to handle the power. The motor puts out 757 Hp with 711 lbs ft of torque the transaxle is rated to handle this. You can have all the power you want but everything else has to be sized to handle the...

Well guys the unexpected always seems to come up, I was unable to attend, my father 80 years old fell the week we were to leave and broke his neck, I have been in the hospital with him daily and it has been a touch and go situation. He is back out of the hospital for the second time, I wish I...

Jon I am in Atlanta and have an SL-C also. I have had it to Road Atlanta several times and would love to meet and talk about the car, would love to see it and also give you some pointers on Road Atlanta with the SL-C. If you have room maybe I can join you up there too. I live about 30 minutes...

Craig congrats on the car, I know you will enjoy the car since it is one of the most awesome cars to drive. I bought mine without driving it and had no idea how fast it really was, man what a thrill every time I drive it. Going down to Roebling Road Raceway then to Daytona this week and am...

Mike it really looks good, great assembly on those tough areas it looks like in the pictures also. Well I had mine out this weekend with the warm temps here also. Bring it down to Florida and show that baby off at the 24 Hour in Daytona would love to see it. Bob D

Tom go to the SLC owners map and you will see where most of the cars are. I will be at Daytona For the 24 Hour if you make it down you will see mine. I drive it on the street and the track, best of both worlds so to speak. Bob D

The car is repaired enough to get it out. We still need to do a little more work on the fiberglass where it was wrecked but everything else is good to go. Can't wait to get it out on the track at Roebling Road in a coupe of weeks before we go to Daytona.

Ricardo, I have an Aviad Dry sump stage 1 on my LS7 which has a/c. Don't know if you have the 7 or another LS motor but we were able to fit everything and the dry sump seems to be working fine. Also if anyone needs a motor builder Lamar Walden builds a good motor for the LS engines and is not...

I had to modify my steering column to raise it up. It was hitting my legs and therefore had to strip the electric motor and other stuff off to raise it up. I have included some pictures,I had to drill and tap the column housing to set the column the right distance from me, which I have a picture...

I have got my tickets, a place to park the motorcoach in turn 1 and 2 outside the track and will have the car there. I will take it in, talked to the ticket guy and he said I should be able to get it in the track around the speed bumps. I am going to Roebling Road Friday for a track day then to...

Jim welcome to the SLC forum. I would suggest looking at all the builds posted and get ideas as well as parts people have put together which they offer to the builder, brake ducts, water tank, etc. Fran has many parts but over time i have seen parts become available which builders have designed...

Dean one of the big benefits of dyno tuning is to make sure the car is tuned properly so you do not run the motor lean, which will result in damage. It is much easier to find the problem on the dyno than on the track. Other than that you will get the feedback for the output at different RPM's...

Just to let everyone know, the taillight did not crack from the wreck, but we discovered the bottom fiberglass was broken just below the taillight which did not happen from the wreck, we think something came up and hit the fiberglass and taillight breaking both, it is a mystery break don't know...

I teach with a group called Hooked on Driving. The student brings their car and we teach them how to drive it on the track as well as basic skills for high performance driving, it includes classroom sessions as well as on the track. I instruct the beginners, intermediate and the instructors. I...

Thanks Alex, wish there was a way to get this done I guess the only way to get to go through the gears faster is to add more Hp it may be cheaper. Maybe NOS. has anybody tried NOS on their SLC yet

Grant it has been a long time since I played on the games but if I can find one I will definitely try it out sounds like fun. I am a driving instructor for a high performance school and one of the thingss I teach my students is that you drive with your butt and your hands, you feel the car with...

Doc thanks for the post, I see the thread ends in 2010 are they still taking names for this or is this a done deal. Also does anybody have a suggestion to get to the same point. If they are not building the sets anymore maybe we can do the same if we can find enough people who may be interested...

I was interested to see if anyone has regeared the Ricardo gearbox and if it can be done. I would like to gear the final drive where the car will only do 200 to 205. I can hit 160 mph in 4th and still have 5th and 6th to go. The problem I see is it takes a long time to run through 3rd 4th and...

I had my car at Roebling Road Raceway in September, had good brakes till the last session and they were getting soft, I am thinking with all the use it probably worked up some air in the system. I have not had it out since and am getting the need for speed again. Can winter just move on where we...

Fran was Ryan one of your drivers for the 13 hour race at VIR? I will see you down there and hope someone else shows up for the race too with the SLC. I too would love to bend a few
