Yeah, I think I meant too light for the downforce balance! The front will have downforce, but there is no point of sucking the power for that much downforce. Since there is no fuel cell or exhaust in the back, the car will have a full rear diffuser as well. Too much downforce can kill speed. As well the GTC-500 would put me really close or outside the specs of the car needing to be 72" wide. I think the GTC-300 is 71.5" after it is all done!
But yes, the too light for that much downforce is not technically correct!

Holy cow it has been a while since I posted an update here! I have been busy training for Ironman and was moving too which didn't help.
Anyways, I have the 8374 on its way, but we had a smaller 7064 with the same turbine housing that I figured put on to take some photos with. In addition I added the windshield support so the car is GT legal and can run lexan/poly windshield as well!
Ironman is next weekend and I will be back on this guy full time to get it done quick! The chassis is going for powder coating mid to end of September, so I have some long days of work coming for sure!

Well have been working on a few different projects and my race car mixed in there too. Finished all the oil and fuel lines and have run the rear coolant passage through the side to the front which needs to be completed to connect to the rad or water pump. I have not decided if I will do a reverse flow or not yet!
