I been wanting to see an SC participate on this event, the longer wheel base, and better COD should make it for a significant difference at those speeds. Have fun and be safe! As for weight, my car weighted arround 3400lbs wet w/o driver in a similar trim to what you have on ur car now. But with an auto and a 6pt MS Roll Bar. It would be interesting to see what your car sits at in the scales with the compound setup.

I have 2 intank Walbro 255's. I found an empty spot under the tank where it goes through the body. I think it was the side with one line attached. I welded a steel bulkhead to the tank, run one end to the pump, and the exposed side to the fuel rail. I really didn't want any fuel lines in the car.

Are you going to have any kind of downforce on the SC?? (ie. front splitter/rear diffuser/rear wing)

good luck, sounds like fun
