looks good, any plans to replace the heavy frt brakes ?
Yes but I'm not sure what to do yet. There was a company that came on here advertising a ceramic replacement that was going to be super light without reducing braking performance. I haven't heard anything on that for some time so maybe that isn't going to happen. Demon Performance has a lighter rotor package that takes a few lbs off but I don't think that bang for the buck is worth it for nothing more than a 15 lb weight reduction. I see the small drag brakes like from Strange as not good for a car at this weight. At 170 mph I want good stopping power so I don't have to depend on the chute keeping me out of the sand. Having the chute is good. I just donrt want to rely on it as a must use stopping deal.

I have rotors coming from racingbrake.com an demon calipers on order. was told somewhere around 35 lbs lighter(total) will see, at least it will be a weight saving on the frt.

I'd stay with those brakes. 15" stuff in the front is a no go for me. I know some use it, but they are lighter.

I have the 15” front and rear on mine and it shaved right at 55lbs off the car. I have only trapped at 136 and it is stopping it good right now. Will see how it does as the trap speed climbs.

How much do you weigh? I don’t think I’ll get below 4200 with me in it and I expect to be at 170+. That’s a lotta weight at that speed!!

The light weight race brakes are super light. The Strange set I have on the rear are a two piece rotor design. Very trick! That’s so you can just replace the rotor disc when you wear them out every race. The disc is held in place with a big circlip. They are like ‘use once and replace’. No doubt they work if your car is 3500 lbs and you are willing to replace them on a regular basis just the cost of racing. 3572C801-8279-45FF-B9B6-81AA84658B57.jpeg B3B6EF1B-9EE8-4D4A-AC21-14467C23AECF.jpeg 3033DD49-4192-4B84-B3AB-C8D9A1BEF65E.jpeg

He would have to post it to Utube . Cut and paste from there to here is the only way I know to get a video on this forum. It’s on Instagram and FB right now.

When and where are you going to test this beast out? I know here in Tucson it has been raining and hailing. Bad weather for the next week or so. Looks great! Have fun! You deserve it with the work and money you put into it.

Next month at WHP. Invitation only track rental for a limited number of 9 second or faster cars. Track prep with no street tires allowed. Cars will have to tech for 8.5 or faster.

I have my car back. It was dropped from one part of the lift at Jim click dodge here in Tucson. No frame damage. But it has been a long road. My car cannot pass that tech. So I will have to find out the results from you. Sounds fun!
