I want to leave work NOW and install this.
So if anyone is wondering, it does not look like the 9.5 Jun cams is a direct bolt-in, some machine work is needed. Relief cuts for the cam:

Stock pressure plate with hardware is 9lbs - the bolts made up about 3oz of that.

It is the area you circled, and to the left of it, he actually took it all the way down to the bucket area. From what I can tell the head got this treatment on both sides of the bucket, at every cam lobe.

oh wow.. I see that now..
Hey another question I got for you. I was looking at a picture of your cabin in the attached pic below, I noticed the Sparco seat is pretty low to the floor and the steering wheel is almost at neck level. I am sure your very comfortable with this setup from the video's I have seen at events. Is there a visibility issue looking over the dash? I mean your eye level has to be even with the dash if not just a bit above.. OR, are you just really tall? lol

The seat is 1" lower and back about an 1". The stock steering column was removed and a custom unit that moved the wheel down and back is in there, although the wheel is still in basically the same location in relation to where I sit. Is there a visibility issue? Depends on your point of view. Many of the open cars I have to race against can not be seen if we are bumper to bumper, other than the roll hoop and the drivers helmet. But it is certainly not an issue. At speed you are looking so far down track whats immediately in front of you is not really an issue. I am 5'9", I think my head just clears the top of the seat. You can see from this shot, where the camera is just below eye level, it is not bad at all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gm4NJaZ3CHo

Interesting.. thanks. I was curious. I am 5'10/11 depending who I stand next to. I was skeptical about buying a carbon fiber seat like the one you have in the picture. Looking over the dash was my issue being that I autocross. I will look at that video when I get home.. work doesnt permit youtube

thanks for discussing this guys. I used a few washers to lower my steering wheel a bit. Any more and my left knee would hit it.

Oh and as you can see, I still have the front portion of the cage to add, installed just the rollbar for my own peace of mind for HPDE events. racerb

That is a good idea.. you talking about those bolts circled in the diagram? did you have to get longer bolts, or was there enough to thread left?

I did the same thing with mine before I went to a custom setup, as I recall there was enough thread there to drop it a 1/2".

Also, is it custom in the fact that it was fabricated or parts were exchanged with other oem parts from other makes/models? again if I am stepping out of the bounds on your secrets I totally understand

interesting..
I dont mean to hijack your thread Jason. I think I understand what your saying racerb, but could you PM me a picture of that setup. I am curious. Also that moving the seat further to the shifter is a good idea too. It would make shifting a bit more comfortable
