Are you gonna get fender flares?
I must say, I'm not a fan of Nascar, but the build is looking good so far. Go with red, or white. Better yet- do a crazy paintjob like these:

CYM was my first thought Ben, but then it looks like a Hornet car... So I say Blue or black for sure. Mmmmm I had this car in mind when I said blue

The current Rotary engine rules say no porting or polishing of any kind. You can put all the bolt ons you want and all cars must be N/A.

The S5 bumper was purchased by someone and I have an S4 parts car so the front and rear bumpers and the fenders are all S4, someday down the road when I need new bumper covers and fenders they'll be switched back to S5 stuff. I am running the Aluminum hood instead of taking all the bracing out of the steel hood.

ok just saing im pretty uneducated when it comes to nascar, but will you be running against piston engines? power wise that kinda sucks you cant port or run f/i. youll make it up in the handling aspect though

Power

I do get to run the fuel injection, you just can have any forced induction. Do you have any idea what kind of power I should have with the RB exhaust and the intake?

Also, I'm putting an S4 stock cluster in it for practice next week, will any of the readings be off because it's an S4 cluster in an S5? If so, what will be off and how?

You will probably make around 150 whp. Perhaps a little more with a standalone ecu.

well **** your a little limited in the performance department, what kind of power gains would you yield going to maybe going with a 48 weber or a big holly with a good intake over stock intake and standalone? just thinkin out loud lol
