Car is nearly done!!! I should be getting more pictures on Monday and maybe a video or two. They tested the car behind our shop and basically ran a mock competition (acceleration, braking, endurance, skid pad, etc). No leaks and nothing broke. It even started up with no problems (we had been having electrical issues).
When we were at the dyno last week, we found out our fuel injector was clogging up (which was why the car was backfiring through the intake. It's not cool when your intake blows up every time you start the car). So we replaced the injector and bought a new fuel pump (the one we had been using could support about 800 hp, much more than we need. It was so big, it was killing the battery). Anyway, now all we have left is body work and final tuning of the suspension and engine. The car is killer.
Before the injector went on us, the car was making 35 horsepower, far from the 60 we would like.
