I am going to kill you.
Actually the shipping for a complete motor across the country would be a real bastard so it's cool.

You know what you might try? An S2 motor...blown 3 Litre? jesucristo. (That's Espanol for those of you who aren't close to the border)

One question...would intercooling an NA have any real effect?

No, what would you run through the intercooler?

I'm building a 2.6L for GT3 R/S PCA club racing. No 3L for me.

Uhm...very slow air. Oooh you can keep it on there and store beer cans in it, so whenever you pull over you can have a cold one.

Psh whatever nubc4k3. A compressor-snail'd 3L would ravage the track regardless of class. And considering the ponies you pulled out of the last motor, you could have trophies in the trunk before even turning the key on raceday.

a 3l would be in GT1 class which is very competitive from what I hear. I beleive GT3 class is limited to like 3.2 n/a or 2.615yada yada turbo/supercharged

The car is very purpose built, for one specific class.

And no, most of my friends arent allowed to drive it.

Certainly not to powerful this year, but I let a couple people drive it last year when it made 400whp. I know of 3 people I'd give the keys to any time they asked, because I either trust them, or I know if they balled it up they could pay for it, or both.

Random question -
Is that a big Healey in the background of one picture? A BN6? Is there someone else out there that also has a 951 and classic British? I used to have a 100M but gave it up for the only car I'd trade it for, a XK120M.
Looks great! Keep up the good work!

More photos will come, but I'm not home on the weekends at all anymore, busy helping a friend put together his LS1 FD project.


Did a ton of work on that the past 2 weekends, tomorrow we're dropping the fuel tank, finishing the fuel system and drilling out the spot welds and replacing that bent crossmember for the radiator with a factory new piece.
