I thought the 3.6 X51 cars were making right about 300-305 with just an open exhaust.

no?

Sorry, been at CMP for five days. The only mods on the engine are/drivechain are a lightweight FW and muffler delete. The 3.4l ECU was optimized to be compatible with the 3.6 engine.

CMP for 5 days, it's a hard job but somebody has to do it right. Hope you had fun there.

Any plans for any other mods on the car ? I have always been curious what the max rwhp a 3.6X51 motor could do. The non X51's are hard to get power out of.

Thursday was very cold, but it warmed up for the weekend festivities! We spent most of the time dialing in the car since we made do many changes to the suspension and aerodynamics.

I'm on the heavy side of NASA GTS4, so we need to make the call to either add ballast and drop to GTS3 or reduce weight and add HP to be completive in GTS4. I'll keep you posted.

See a video from the Sunday race in the "Best fix" thread I just posted.
