BS, meaning attitude. Just keep it clean kid!

Look, understood. But, Brian has already confirmed that those numbers are pretty close to what they make. heck, if they make more, just proves my point. It cant be much less, becasue there are a ton of street guys with a set of headers making near this hp with very little tuning. dynos are public and have been posted.

I am not sure what year that was, or whether that was the same car he shared with Munson at Anchor. If not, those numbers may well be accurate. If it is, those numbers are incorrect. Sorry, it would be inappropriate for me to post the proprietary dyno numbers for one of my team's cars. You should know this.

He didn't read the article completely, drivers are Johnny O'Connell, Jan Magnussen, Oliver Gavin & Olivier Beretta.

Maybe it's a fitness thing?

Take it easy Dez. Just trying to get a reaction. Have a good day.

I know, that's why I just gave up on Dez. I blew a gasket because he is somewhat "thick". All the driver's you mentioned are world class and by no means slow even if they race each other.

You blew a gasket because I said I PERSONALLY THINK they are too old and that some younger drivers would prove to be more fiery and competitive. Over-react much?

With all that we put up concerning your personal rants and raves around here, I'd think you could at least take a little bit of what you dish out without being a complete girl about it. Guess I was wrong. But at least it's pretty apparent that YOU in fact don't know much of anything and are completely emotionally driven (hence the connotation).

"Thick", hahah, if by "thick" you mean pointing out that you're full of it 90% of the time, then yeah, I'll go with that.

Please try to read the articles more carefully Dez.

Going back to the Original Topic at hand, the Corvette team with all their old drivers will do just fine. Don't worry about it too much. Carry on.

Bryan, I was just talking to Matesso, and he said the S54s can make near 400rwhp with just a cam and that intake that everyone is copying from PTG? true? I am amazed the more I learn about that motor.
The one we are racing with that has the PTG copy air box, doesnt seem to be making much more than 350rwhp, but i dont think it has cams, just headers. Its whats left of the joey hand roll over car.

Sorry, but I don't follow racing much, but: a e46 M3 3.2 L inline six with stock compression and cams making 350 rwhp? That seems high from what I have heard on the M3 forums. I would assume it would take a bump in compression and cams to get numbers that high.

Ive only seen the stock ish car without headers at 312rwhp with just tuning.
Ive heard that the heads flow fantastic, and headers and intake plennum/ airbox alone with tuning get it up to the 350rhp hp range. Bryan bumped compression, so I would think he would be in that range. with a cam, much more. I trust matesso, as he has built a few engines for the BMW guys locally.
Ive dynoed his car, personally and got 285rwhp out of the old e36 3.2 euro motor with a set of headers.
It will be interesting to hear the real story here. I would think with the plennum/airbox , 350rwhp is possible. Bryan??

How cool is that! Love to see BMW there as well!
Looks like the vet fomula for equality is there!

Im willing to bet the SpeedGT cars are running a tick faster than the -C ALMS class.
1:26s if I was going to bet. I havent looked yet
