Spent a relaxing day at the shop with the homies. Turned 80. We had steaks on the grill.

Took some shots of vodka and then passed out. Was a good day.

Nice! Did you by any chance get a actual weight difference with AAD upper and lower arms vs the stock pieces?

Car is on ICE. Been focusing on getting the shop ready for a dyno and buying equipment and getting electrical ran. Of course all this costs money so the race car is not a priority.

IMG_4439.jpeg IMG_4443.jpeg IMG_4442.jpeg IMG_4440.jpeg
Have to spend money to make money. I will be at MSHS but in the Mopar car show with the hellcat. Once the dyno is ready the first car will be my hellcat. Second car will be Mikes turbo Challenger then I get my race car tuned and ready for battle of the brands in November.

Kind of disappointed car wasn’t ready for MSHS. Time/energy/money are at an all time low so its been a slow process. However the R&D continues.

This casting mark is where the hall effect sensor will have its bracket mounted. Million dollar question whats behind it?
IMG_4529.jpeg
just more aluminum, drilled and tapped for m8x1.25
IMG_4536.jpeg
IMG_4537.jpeg
Appropriate depth
IMG_4535.jpeg IMG_4534.jpeg
In between flange wheel and case is where a 16 tooth reluctor wheel will be mounted. Split collar. ID of collar is 2.5” IMG_4523.jpeg
Thickness of split collar is .375”. Plenty of room. IMG_4526.jpeg IMG_4525.jpeg
2.43 od matched to a 2.50 id should be tight IMG_4521.jpeg
Plenty of room for depth IMG_4519.jpeg
Went with low doller motorsports. 5/16 sensor due to space requirements. The Holley should be able to derive MPH and this opens the door for traction control. Easy day.

R&D continues. Very pleased with the reluctor wheel.

full disclosure, requires a shim. IMG_4584.jpeg
Very pleased how the safety hoop came out.
