nice green machine. Not a fan of the double 90's on the intake though

The car looks great. Nice conversion.

But it does very much look like it's not sprung properly for the track he's running because he's clearly on the snubbers on a a couple of the turns. Looks too soft for his setup.

Also... that rear spoiler screws up the air under the wing forcing a much larger AOA on the big wing to get the down force required. He should remove the spoiler. And the wing uprights look "iffy"..... I've had them, and have had a few racing friends, have uprights collapse. The result ain't good.

most of the LS1 boards have demonstrated significant power losses with 90 deg intake pathway bends. Since he is racing NASA (HP/weight) it doesn't play a significant role but it still leaves power on the table

Because I don't want spacers... bump steer, roll center, anti-dive, etc. etc.

Any of you guys have recommendations on fans for the RH radiator? Mine crapped out today at the track :grumpy:

Some people were running the Ford Taurus fan. It is a single fan but draws a lot of air.

Significant power? Like 10-20hp? Their MAF was probably clocked wrong. I've seen significant power gains and increased powerband smoothness on the dyno by merely re-clocking the MAF on a CAI car.
He should just have the car tuned without the MAF and be done with it.
