      Here is the direction I'm going.....braces for the frame mount are not yet fabbed. The bar will not be parallel to the axle in the "Y" axis however. Also this location is throwing a wrench in the stablizer bar mount location.

      The horsepower is completely tunable as it's turbocharged, intercooled, and injected. I'll be able to move the torque around quite a bit with a laptop and up to four preprogrammed driver switchable settings the FAST ECM provides. The plan is to set up the ECM for 91 Octane street (around 2 BAR boost maximum) and switch to higher grade fuels / power levels as desired up to 2.8 BAR . In reality the wastegates can be set to any boost setting. So trackability can be optimized; it should be very predictable.

      Thanks for the help!

      I'll try to find that "Chassis Newsletter" article. I think it was Sept or Oct of this year.

      Thanks Norm; much appreciated.

      One of the big challenges is there will be two giant 90mm throttle bodies causing a large MAP drop with the slightest opening of the butterflys resulting in very jerky off idle conditions. This is fixed by using highly progressive throttle linkages, delaying the opening of the second throttle body for about 10 degrees of the primary, and some software tweeks. This engine, in fact, will be very streetable; low compression, mild cam, etc. Without boost it will be in the high 500 to low 600 HP range. If you are interested in the engine combination I'll post some data in the Engine Misc Forum.

      The suspension, I believe, is the make or break on streetability and also have the capability to play at Sebring or other tracks; this is the area I'm most concerned and need to get it right.

      I thought I would post a picture on how I make the PHB bracket on my car. When building or designing stuff, I like to look at as many designs as possible before welding.
