Hi John,
You are to kind, I'll need more than a little more seat time to get ahead of you. As I get faster so do you! Maybe the ABS, triple adjustable Motons, adjustable springs and the
3.8l motor will help

The 409 RWHP was done on a stock GT3 motor with headers, flow thru burns mufflers and ecu programing for 100 oct.
Now I am going with 3.8l Wrightwood Racing pistons and sleeves, WC exhaust and revised programing. We are shooting for 440 RWHP.

Garrett, why the switch from JRZ to Motons? Were the JRZ's only two way adjustable?

Are the headlights a specific "blank" or some sort of DIY?

I had the 2 way non-reservoir JRZ's and they are not sufficient for a 1400 lb spring so I went with triple adjustable JRZ racing shocks.

If I started with a CUP I would have been in GTA class which includes RSR's. I wanted to compete in GT2 so I started with a street car.
