What you can do with them when integrated with an ECU and dash is mind boggling though.
I wish they would release a 'budget' version sub $1000 to let us street guys have some fun with them.

UPDATE:
Today, my friend and I finally had some time to put this build in gear...
Pulled the long *** umbilical cord out... wiring behind the dash, fuse panel, relay boxes and whole front body harness weigh 39lbs!
Finally we fit the dash in... notched the dash on both sides and slid right in like butter.
Gauge cluster barely hit...nothing the Dremel can't handle.
Custom switch panel will get fitted next...
Custom laser etched rocker covers...

Another cool feature I had done is 3 way switches for wipers and headlights...Off/ON/ON. That way I can have 2 speed for wipers and two different settings for the headlights...parking lights center position and parking/low beam for top position. No high beam for track.
You guys should check out his facebook page... they fool around with some funny *** design. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Otrat...32347186828281

Should be another few months before I hit the track... Chris Ludwig just finished and shipped out all the electronics and custom engine harness so I will start posting up some updates in the following weeks.
Enkei RC-T4 18X9.5 +30?... 285/30/18 all around. I think wheels are about 18lbs each.
Thanks man! I can't wait either.

Small Update:
Haltech boxes mounted but had to send out the harness back to Chris for some modifications...once I get that back I can start mounting everything and run the wiring.
Always wanted to shave off that damn air pump bracket...looks better now. Any suggestions on new powdercoat colors??
Idler pulley delete since no more A/C or power steering pump...I'll retain the bracket for alternator bracket, coil mounting and catch can mounting later...
I've started prepping the block by tapping and plugging unused coolant ports and shaving off anything unnecessary.
Heater hose nipple delete... tap and plug 1/2" NPT.
Rear iron TB coolant port delete...tap and plug 1/8" NPT.
