A few small tidbits from Stohr, the other day:
1.) on early Stohrs (not sure when the changeover was made), the rear bellcrank results in a motion ratio of around .87, not the 1:1 as intended. An updated bellcrank is available, and is identifiable by two large holes on the side where the shock attaches (i.e. you can use old or new motion ratios if desired). I think they all have the hole at the back where perhaps facility for an anti-roll bar (that was never added) was designed.
2.) For cooling the car, if you don't have ducts like the West pieces, make sure to add foam under the midbody section, on either side of the driver where the body is close to the frame rails. This prevents air from entering the ducts, and spilling laterally into the cockpit. Also add foam anywhere you need to to make sure the only path is through the radiator. Check by putting a light behind the radiator, then looking in through the intake to see where there's light coming through. Wayne says that's worth about 20-30* on water temps.
That's it! Maybe everybody knew this, but it was news to me.
