Thanks to Mark Lapp for the hookup on the timing idler and alternater mount. Still need to grind out some space under the alt mount to clear the oil cooler sandwich plate... but we're looking good to have her done this weekend!

J/K looking forward to passing you guys on track this year

"She's" getting close? Your motor doesn't have any balls?

Add drag and weight?

Todd, is that Timing Belt idler channeled to keep the belt lined up? I might have to look into getting one of those for my non-SF build...

My engines are like women.... when I put my foot into em they scream like a banshee and take off like a bat outta hell!

Yah the idler is specially built by fellow spec racer Mark Lapp... lapp4sm is his SN, and you can buy from his site goldcoastautomotive.com... along with the alternator bracket.

Is her bottom end stock?

Yes. A relatively new (only about 3500 supercharged miles) bottom end that I bought from FocusSport fully assembled after I lost my piston ring in my second engine.
