Op, also consider doing Getty fiberglass doors. They are like 12lbs each and way lighter than even gutted doors.

Radiators are not necessary if proper ductwork and cooking is used. If you want to do them go with the PWR for the radiators. More expensive but it's the best stuff made, and they will take a beating. The other brands are marginally better than stock.
Open up the rear bumper helps a lot for heat as well, as well as running full screen openings in the front. Temps are perfect if you go that route
Will get some photos up of this

Also, have you done any testing on the air flow through your naca ducts with the hose at that length? I'd be willing to send you a krestel meter (send it back though please!, haha) to see what the velocity is. I'm wondering how much air the quarter windows pick up based on wind tunnel tests i've watched. I've seen a few GTB cars that had fiberglass boxes that protrude out more in order to gather more air.

I've got the guard unit, and I had the factory LSD, BGB installed mine.

It was all Betim's fault. haha It sounds damn good with the Cargraphic race headers. We are going to shake the car down at Buttonwillow on Friday, May 20th with Speed District. You should come out.

Since you added the race headers, did you have to re-flash your ECU? Which one and any power gains?
#26
Yeah, I got a EVOMS flash for no cats and 100 octane tune. Not sure about the power gains, I might throw the car on the dyno in the summer to find out. BBI also took out the Power Steering Pump (replaced with an electric motorsport unit) and took out the AC Condenser so that freed up load on the engine too.
#27
I ordered the scoops and screens from Tim. The guys at BBI thought they would be great for my car and a good alternative to having to get PWR radiators. Can't wait to get them.

Coming along. Cage was built by BGB and is going to paint tomorrow morning. I made my own screens out of stainless material from mcmaster.
