Car is being fitted with carbon doors, fenders, and hood. We are also installing a fiberglass dash to reduce more weight. Couldn't get the car below 3420# the way it was. Hate losing the electric windows but I hated losing races even more. We should be around 3150# after the changes. Engine has been destroked by Bennett and will be dynoed in the next week or so. Also changed to a more efficient turbo. Our first race will likely be at Memphis in March!

Marty.. do you guys have a minimum weight... looks good
Yes we do. It depends on a lot of factors. We will either have to weigh 3150# or 3250#! Depends on which turbo we go with. We were 270# heavy at the end of last year. We had the wrong cam in it plus engine was to big for these small turbos. This year it will be a whole new animal. We went 1.11 flat last year. I think we will go as low as 1.06 on a good track with good air. We may go to SGMP this fall. Won't be ready til March. Memphis the Hollysprings for sure.

It's going on a conservative dyno. We figure it will be around 1800-1850 hp with the 85mm turbo. When it hits the dyno I will let you know. We won't use the dyno to find max power but as a tuning tool. Each track and air quality will play a big part in how much we lean on it. If we run NMCA we will bolt my 94mm on it. Then it will make some serious steam!
