I think George uses a system like this to traction control Speed Demon. And he just went 481 with a single big block!
He does indeed use similar systems for controlling boost, all tuned by Shane T, Twin Turbo 555 BB Chevy.....

Where are you planning to run this thing ? (serious question)
Is it now heading more in a Bonneville direction than a Santa-Pod direction ?

I hope the frame is still the same weight you had planned for...
Frame all done and it’s 38kg !!
Compare to a B body I’m quite happy and I think this is good ??

Under-tray or some sort will need to bolt to the bottom of the chassis.
I added lots of rivet nuts to all the gussets underneath and then welded every one in so it’s 100%
Never used them before and think there quite good

SCTA rulebook says not to fill the corners of gussets. Not sure why, but that’s what it says.

Dirt Trap / Drainage?
Added stress in the corners?

There not gussets there Partial tubes very different
A great design adding maximum stiffness for minimum weight to the chassis.
