You’re long past “Street Legal Race Car” at this point. Removing the door bars pretty much rules out street usage, ever. You get hit by a shopping cart, you’re calling an ambulance.

you have a good point it will be really easy to put the bars in for the street so if i do get hit by a bird it dont crease my door then remove them out for the track

If this is going to be more of a road race car I would go with 9:1 cr or even maybe a little higher to keep a little of boost power and help that turbo spool quick. If its a drag car then go for 8:1 and boost the hell out of it. Im eventually boosting my LS1 and when I do Im keeping my 10:1 cr. It sounds like you are building a street/strip/autoX car so you would probably be the most satisfied with a 9:1 cr
Also… You may want to reconsider where you put the fuel and brake lines and wires cause some scca class rules require that even fuel and brake lines be routed thru the interior for safety. You can always cover them with some sheet metal later and paint it to match but I believe for the event they have to remain visible. Im not trying to bash your build, it looks good, just throwin some ideas out there

hell yea i like your thoughts makes a`lot of seance . i was still on the fence about what i wanted the comprestion to be your right for road coarse i want the 9:1 and with my turbo not being giant i want the compression for power until the turbo spools.
