The engine slightly massaged and putting down about 300 hp at the rear wheels. I plan on running up to 15psi boost if permissible in class. The suspension is chrome-moly custom control arms with all spherical bushings/heim joints and caster blocks from Andy Pohlman, Elephant Racing bump steer kit with a converted to manual rack, all Racers Edge spherical bushings in the rear, Racers Edge solid mounts, Bilstein Escort Cup coil-overs with custom valved Bilsteins, 26.5mm front sway bar with Lindsey Racing 5 way adjustable 19mm rear. I built it to the very best of my ability and budget.
You can run 25 psi if you'd like. I run 18 PSI with race gas, 15 psi with street gas - I have a vitesse MAF with to 2 differents maps. Mine is a bit more heavy though (2850) with me in.

The picture does not do the car justice. I saw it at a friend's shop while it was getting an alignment. The workmanship is very nice, and the attention to details is impressive.

Can I ask how you got it down to 2500lbs from a stock of 3000lbs? All f/g or c/f panels, lexan hatch and windows? That's a pretty hefty weight saving. Well done.

It has a Lexan front screen, fiberglass hood, no HVAC, no blower motor etc, no unneeded wiring, no door glass or regulators, no sealant, insulation or glue, no cat or muffler, no spare or tools, stereo or speakers and anything not needed was discarded. 11.5 lb Braille battery too.

Mine is at 2658 no fuel in. It still has unneeded wiring, stock hood, windshield and back glass. No HVAC, blower motor, no door glass or regulators, glue, muffler... It was weighted with my 965 cup 1 wheels and spacers though. Maybe that 2615 would be the weight with my Jongbloed wheels.

Steve, the car is absolutely stunning. Pictures don't come close to doing it justice. The only issue I have with it is that you painted it Carrera White, rather than Apline White, which made mine look "dirty" sitting next to it!!! Phenomenal job on the car, glad to see it back on the track afer the extended haitus.
