^^ That's going to be really cool to see. Evan, you should start a build thread if you weren't already planning to. I got to drop by and check it out. Are you guys thinking that you can retain a close to 50/50 balance?

There will definitely be a build thread, I haven't started it yet but it wont be any secret once I do
You should come by and at least see some of the chassis work Johns put in!
It will be about the same weight balance is what we're thinking, the difference should be negligible the engine is only 40lbs heavier, but an inch shorter in length so it will sit an inch closer to the center of the car. If you think about adding that much power 40 lbs is nothing, that's still less than a supercharger! And what supercharger is going to give an S2K 200lb/ft at 4000 RPM

We're so excited to finally get this project going!!

Off topic, we revamped our site a little check it out!

This video really doesn't make it clear enough how loud this engine is! The airport called to complain
