Though I would look ahead with a little



About 400-410WHP (470BHP @ 15% loss).  Tires are the limiting factor. Current are drag radials on all 4 wheels, did not want to go to full track tires, to dangerous on the street.

Worked on the electrical & interior this week. Got the main power bus installed from the trunk mounted battery to the starter solenoid & the main distribution block.

As part of the console added a kill switch for the cars electrical system. It the red switch between the seats. When it off you can pull the red toggle out.



Built the aluminum sheet metal lower console for the radio, some pulls, warning lights & toggle switches. Waiting on 2 toggles & 1 warning light to finish it off.



Got foam padding & leather covering at a local fabric outlet & used that to cover the whole unit right to the rear cockpit wall. With power up front I can start to hook up the various ECU’s that control the engine. Slow meticulous work trying to find the right wire to graft out of large cable bundles.
