    Dusty's SLC Build

    OK, she is coming along. Body seems to be lined up OK but seems like the rear wheels are a little bit too much to the rear and the front wheels are a little bit too much to the front. In this pic, the rear rocker panels are about 3 inches off the ground and the front rocker panels are about 6...

    thank you Ken!!! Yes that's the solution!! I have been struggling with this for days. I purchased my car partially assembled and was unsure of how the splitter was so supposed to attach. I assumed the splitter bolted below the aluminum. i bolt it above the aluminum with the uhmw plastic...

    in hindsight i wish i had done this widening when i had the cage work done by the fabricator. But at this point im going to let it stay as it is.

    much thanks the windshield fits well. like 1/8 gap on both sides. i was considering making a hard spacer that fits between the rollcage and the windshield frame so that i could shape and stabilize the windshield frame in its relation to the window itself.

    I’ve been trying to align the body and overall it’s coming together. I think I’ve got the spider figured out and the back of the car is looking good. The wheel position is about right inside the arches. Having a little challenge getting the front nose piece right. I think I’m going to be able...

    OK. Made the new dry sump mounting bracket. Put some speed holes in it while I was at it. Painted it black this time. Now it fits nice and tight in there. And I can go ahead and lower the body down to its proper position

    Lemon racing is really a great time. This team is one of the fastest. They actually had a a missile brigade, following this car all around in the pits.

    I’m putting more time into Slc now. Me and my brothers have been doing a lot of prep for the 24 hours of lemons Race that was two weeks ago. We campaign three cars this year. And our fastest car was the 99 S-10 with an iron Duke four-cylinder. You can see in the picture my dry sump tank...

    Finally got her running. Ran into a little frustration with the MAP pressure sensor in the intake manifold. This manifold is for an LS1 and has the sensor for the LS1. They make a wiring adapter that lets this LS1 sensor talk to the ls3 . But for whatever reason, my car does not like the LS one...

    All the sensors terminate in this stackable chain that then plugs into the switch module. From there the collected telemetry data is used to program switching, and this data is also relayed to the dash Guage so the driver can see what’s going on and so that you can program your dummy Lights...

    I forgot this thing. This is the little device that lets you wire in your own switches to the race pack. You simply wire in your specific switch and then this device plugs into your switching module and into the dash. once you have wired in your own switches you can go ahead and label them do...

    I admittedly wonder how much this transaxle cooler will make a difference. There is no fan on it and it’s not that big overall. Fortunately, this bracket I am using for the cooler is very easy to modify. It simply unbolt, and I can add an and I can add a larger cooler as data comes in. And with...

    I am going to be using the race pack. GPS module to keep track of my speed Note that on this car, and on my prior project, I run the race pack supplied engine monitoring sensors in parallel to the engine sensors that came with the crate engine, and are recognized by the factory ECU to help the...

    You can see here that the supplied wiring harnesses have pre-labeled wires that are automatically recognized by the switching module and the dash so that you don’t have to label these particular things when you want to program switching parameters. You can also see that I have two type of...

    I’ve had great luck with racepak in the past and so I am going to use it on this card. I am using Race pack sensors: Oil pressure Fuel pressure Water temperature Transaxle temperature The specific sensors I’m using are a Race pack specific pre-labeled sensors called “v net sensor modules”...

    Sorry, I tried to post yesterday, but the pics were too big with my new camera. Took me a whole day to figure out how to make the picture smaller. It’s easier to build a car to take pics with an iPhone. Anyway, this is the firewall basically like everyone else did
