what do ya think? Here's a quick overview;
in progress, Lots of Aero, and soon to be ~500 rwhp. 335 Kumho road race tires to make it stick. This car started life as midnight racer, making~530 hp, and sporting the stock bronze color, and no wing, the car was quite the sleeper. When I purchased it, the owner had switched the car to a .60/.81 P trim TO4S. The turbo gives instantaneous boost, spinning 235-40-17 R compound tires all the way through first an second gears. That's nice for autocross, but I plan to rad race this car in the NASA Super unlimited class. With that in mind we will be switching to a T66 .81 Q trim in the quest for ~500rwhp with good response. If that comes up short we will use a Garrett GT40R Ball bearing 67mm turbo in a .94ar. The tire wheel combo has been my biggest dilema, I want to run 335s out back and 315s up front, but the only two R compounds available are the Kumho Ecsta 700(known for chunking out), and the Hoosiers(expensive, and don't last)My saving grace may be the viper club, as they run Michelin Pilot slicks in these sizes. I am working on getting a connection for scrubs, so my budget survives the tire costs. The Body is a mix of a Tripoint flare kit, a Rotary Extreme GTC nose, a custom reverse cowl hood(copied from the 3rd gen Mazdaspeed piece), and a BIG wing. I'd like to run the RE wing, but at ~1200.00 I will have to find something else. I may also create a functional roof scoop utilizing the stock TII hood scoop(we shall see). Anyway the goal is a road racing beast able to hang with just about any thing out there(in the amatuer ranks) I will keep the updates coming, as I finish them. Later for now Carl Byck 707-696-2705

If this is a dedicated race car, why are you "only" running w/ a large street port?
I would disagree using a roof scoop. Instead, I would recommend a naca duct positioned near the front driver's side window area. Using ducting to guide the air. A roof scoop for your car would horribly disrupt the aerodynamics of your car. Most race cars w/ roof scoops do it because they have a mid/rear mounted engine.
You're running a lot of water, my friend. 90 water/10 glycol? Wow.
What clutch are you using? Differential?
Sway bars?
