To get there your car would have to weight only 2735?
How in hell did you get that light? (2735/(3.4 x 135)=595).....

[QUOTE=jrgordonsenior;6778302]doh i should've kept my mouth shut. that would be 2735 with a 190 lb driver and a 1/4 tank of gas. mainly CF/FG bits including the doors and roof and HVAC delete. it's i completely gutted, no dash. i've got another 20lbs that i can get rid of but i am putting in an accusump and cool suit system.

I suspect GTS will take off soon enough out there. Plus, there's plenty of other classes, ST/2, PT, SU, etc where it may fit.

karlooz

i am crossing my fingers that GTS will take off. last race at infineon there were only 2 participants in GTS2...that's it! previous race there were 15 or so mostly in gts3 and 4 but i believe this is due to the "supersize" incentive. anyone racing in PRC can supersize to GTS for 50 bucks more. most of the field were porsches. only a couple of bimmers.

ST/U is still a barren wasteland. maybe its the economy. all i need is more than 4 participants for the hoosier contingency

Bryan Watts

What would you be? GTS3? 4?

Looks like a decent amount of West Coasters have signed up for GTS at the NASA Nationals.

karlooz

i'd be in S4. that'd be fun going to the nationals. don't have any GTS races under my belt so maybe next year. do you have a link for the roster?

mark kibort

Not in NASA out here today. Only PRC group runs, which is a hold over from the years we ran the BMW/Porsche Challenge races *(those were reallly fun).
Other than PRC running their own group, as Karlooz says, "its a wasteland".

I would love to get out to the nationals, but with the economy as it is, that aint going to happen, plus I need to run a GTS race this season, and that hasnt happend with my involvement with SCCA. Maybe next year.

We had 20 GTS cars at Buttonwillow in June and I think even more this weekend at Cal Speedway.....

Have you dyno'd your 3.4? I'd like to know your numbers as we're starting to build a baseline for our 996 Spec class. The highest reading to date has been 266 RWHP for a stock 3.4 with OEM headers but open exhaust, stock ECU, and lightweight flywheel.....

karlooz

i've had to dyno it for nasa TT and GTS. it's at 280 wHP but i've done more than exhuast. heh

karlooz

nice. next time nasa is in button willow i'll be there.

jrgordonsenior

We're considering options for flashing our ECU's in this spec class. Did you use a off-the-shelf ECU flash or custom tuning on a dyno to get to 280? That's a really desirable goal for our cars....

October 10-11 NASA's at Buttonwillow:

karlooz

of the shelf GIAC tune. not many out there that will do a flash for a cable throttle 996. i would love to get a custom tune so i can run race gas.

jrgordonsenior

Well you may be in luck.... We're talking to Garrett, the owner of GIAC, about putting one of these cars on his dyno and tuning it for fullrace gas, etc. That tune would then be available at any of his distributors for flashing. My shop has a close relationship with him and hopefully we can get this done in the near future and for a reasonable cost. Send me your e-address and I'll keep you in the loop.

PS: I may go to T-hill in Sept....
