Fairly sure I'd prefer avoiding any kind of contact with the splitter, I've seen some running NCs going for less than what it costs to build this thing...
In the rush of preparing for SLB we haven't had a chance to weigh the car.
I'll put it on the scales this week to see where we're at.
Also very curious about the corner weights, especially since we took a number of radical steps in order to improve the weight dist.

Good visual comparison of the slant nose job on Creampuff.
Before, note top of headlight sits well above the top of the front tire -
After, headlight is now lower than the top of the tire -
More action photos from SLB, courtesy of Yia Lor - thank you!

Bummer about the coil issue. Thought everything would be good after switching injector drivers :(
When you went back to stock did you swap coils too?

Yep, back to NB1 coils -
After all the great lengths I went into in order to save weight, the 1:58.119 I ran was with extra ~35 lbs in the nose (Rotrex, IC, cooler, lines, piping..)

Scaled Creampuff right now just out of curiosity to see what it weighed as raced, turns out it was 2088 Lbs (w/ driver).
Heavier than I expected, but than again we did end up throwing a few heavy things back in because we didn't have time to replace them with lighter alternatives.
Cross weight was a mile off, can't wait to see how much better the car behaves once we actually get a chance to set it up and not just make pieces that don't fall off

Super Street SLB coverage was just published a couple of days ago and has a few good shots of Creampuff -
My favorite of the bunch -
Between the rear tire looking like it's trying to escape the rim, a faint line of daylight under the front tire and the flat bottom dragging on the ground, looks like cornering grip is not a problem.
