Very nice bud. I wanted SBC's so bad but couldn't deal with the poke. Im guessing those are +15? Looks awesome though.

Couple of new pics.
First time in a long time the front bumper is on and I am kind of excited!
I am not done with the body mods but here is how she sits right now.

^^^Nice

What did you install? The APR splitter?

I had one once & tore it off at the track. I mounted it w/only their hardware & 2 laps at over 150 it failed

I finished up all the bumper/ air dam/ splitter and chassis mounting.

Yeah, I am worried about this to. I put bolts in the holes for the air dam, then I drilled 10 holes through the bottom of the air dam through the splitter and bolted them as well as the 2 standoffs that go to the cross member.

I was thinking of making a alumalite piece underneath the splitter since the splitter is a bit flexible. It is chassis mounted in front and the stand offs in the back.

Thoughts?

What did me in was not the splitter mount to the bumper which sounds like you have pretty firm

It was the lack of struts & the way I mounted the struts to the upper bumper cover. I needed more struts (4 min) & the way it mounts to the upper bumper must be connected to the crash beam or similar. My struts just tore the bumper cover & the splitter drug on the track

We all have seen those pics of guys standing on their splitters. Thats no joke. It needs to be that strong

Ok
Mine is chassis mounted, look at those struts. They go to a mount that was where the lower bumper mounting holes were.

I hope these 2 chassis mounts will be adequat.

The bumper cover won't withstand much force, without chassis mounting anything it would just rip the airs dam/ splitter right off when enough downforce is present.

Live and learn. My mistake for sure. My setup was more decorative LOL. I had no idea it would see that much load
For the last 4 years been running my rigged up air dam which works well on the track

Your mount is much better & looks excellent

Only drove it 5 miles. I like the pedal pressure better than the Comp stage 3 that was there before, still getting used to a dual plate clutch. I will drive it a bit next week if all goes as planned.

Thanks. Yeah ive wanted to keep that somewhat OEM look. and Yeah i'm tuned for a little bit more power now. Not sure if that would make a big difference in 1/4 times or not.
