Good luck with your sale. It must have been a bit of a challenge to sell it. I know that when I sold mine I really hated the day as it approached.

Can you tell us if the rear shock mount upgrade has been done yo this chassis?
Also, is the HP/TQ at the flywheel or the rear wheels, and are their any driveability or overheating issues?

Bill,
A chassis in the 2500 series has the factory revision to the rear shock mounts. You may still add the aftermarket mounts if you choose, but they are not required on later chassis'.

Bill,
Even though it was not required, I upgraded the rear shock mounts. To answer you other questions, HP/TQ are at the flywheel, never had the car on a dyno. It weighs ~2500lbs so the power to weight makes it quite the ride. Never an issue with overheating. Friends also with SPFs have never had an issues. As far a driveability, the car is well balanced and powerful, the Avon tires made a "huge" difference. Expense but worth every penny. In the past, I called Olthoff Racing for recommended improvements and they highly recommended the Avons. At the time, I worked with Elton at Sasco Vintage Racing tires.

I knew there had to be a cut off, but was not certain, thanks.

Excellent, the upgraded mounts are pretty hefty from what I remember. I asked about the engine, as a few have made comments about the stock radiator not being capable of performing with a higher compression, higher HP engine. Good to know yours is not one of them. Also, Elton gets high ratings from everyone he has dealt with that I know.... Thanks for responding so quickly, and good luck with the sale.

All SPF cars need rear mount upgrade.
Going from a 8mm bolt to 10mm bolt is not a proper repair in my opinion.

I totally apologize for my previous comment. I'm a dumbshi#t and didn't realize the DRWAT was commenting on two folks at the same time. My bad.
