Haven't Updated this page in a while...I have mainly been doing some refinements and planning. After the last hillclimb and my exhaust couldn't keep up with the bumps and fell off I finally took it to a professional and had it welded up. I can add a "laguna pipe" off this if I needed to.
Then I went to VIR and had some major overheating issues with coolant getting to 240 and my intake temps getting to 150 and pulling timing, so rereading some books on race car tuning I came up with a secondary inlet for the radiator to get it more air that didn't go through the intercooler while still "splitting" the high pressure air in the front between the two.
I also designed a little air box towards the back of the car to try and keep the hot air in the engine bay away from the supercharger inlet. Made a little gurney flap on the tailing edge of the hood to try and pull any hot air out from between the hood and cowl as well.
On the subject of heat management I threw about 250$ worth of thermal management products at the engine bay and it really seemed to help!
My next track day at Roebling race way I saw coolant temps never get over 200, oil temps were actually a little too cool with the 10w40 and 70psi of oil pressure. INtake temps peaked at 125 so a dramatic drop and timing never got pulled.

Redid my DiBond flat floor and its very secure now as well. Hopefully this is the last revision of this, maybe a lighter material in the future but it didn't give me any problems at RRR.
Last thing I did was make a idle pulley tensioner thing to keep the SC pulley from slipping at peak.
