Check with with the race director. They are well organized. I think this year you cannot hand in a dyno unless it is a Dynojet. There have been too many cert dyno runs handed in that were off by 20hp. I volunteered for a dyno pull at Tbolt after out-qualifying the GTS group by 2 seconds and pulled 1hp over and almost 4 on a second run. Total was within the rules (including weight) and they still DQ'd my time starting me 32nd on the grid (finished 2nd with very aggressive driving 
. My car had been dyno'd 3 times last year all at 254hp. That was just an odd pull and that happens.

I have run into the same issues with dyno pulls, there are so many contributing factors.

Thx Fred, there are no secrets with this car. Hopefully it's build will offer some helpfull insight to those who are looking at similar ideas. I know threads like this have helped me.

I was there with you for that race...I had the red 968. I couldn't believe when you told me you were DQ'd!
I also was DQ'd...but, it was because I forgot to get my car weighed after qualifying session...started out 39th!
That only happens once in your life...hopefully!

Jason thanks. It made for an interesting race. I got up to 2nd two cars behind Joey G and the double yellow came out. There was at least 5 mins left in the race time so I was stoked to got at it, but they dropped a checker. Hey your car looks sweet. Nice build on a 944. It would be great if they separated the start of the super unlimited cars. Total mistake to mix slowly driven fast cars with GTS cars that run the same or faster laps. Every corner an SU car is overbraking and stacking the field. Somewhat dangerous and no way to get around a 400hp car.

Actually, my car is a 968...
I cracked the block at Watkins Glen a few years ago, so I just put a 2.5 liter turbo in it. It still goes like stink!
Just the driver needs a little work...

Hi Gary...curious what you have planned here. I recall RedlineMan's post of years ago on his fuel cell install and IIRC, his summary statement was that it's not a very economical option when you want to take a generic cell and get it down low. Does anyone still produce a cell to fit the in the fuel tank location?

The old tank though did have the foam in it so Sloan put that in the used tank that he got for me. Believe me this car does have a budget! LOL!
