I was told that the BEHE dyno reads low relative to the brand NASA uses, but I was told a lot of things when I was club racing that turned out to be self-serving BS.

Why do I get the sense there's a lot of cheating going on in PCA racing... Although when I get the racing license and start racing I won't be able to pull the "he won because he cheated" routine. It will most certainly be my lack of skillz.

#1 - Your sense is ****
#2 - you are a ghost that cries like the ***** you are until you actually race
#3 - What you say is nothing but foul air until then

Has that cleared the air? There are guys (many of them who I consider my dearest friends) , TODAY, risking their lives out there. STFU until you EARN the right to speak.. You can afford a GT3 RS? Good for you... no, i'm not very nice. and you don't want me as an Instructor...

Was this harsh?

Nope, this is an Intersport built engine and car. Apparently the headers are from S Car Go. I didn't even know they did air cooled stuff. For some reason I thought they were water cooled turbo tuners.

After the car came to Florida, it seemed kind of weak at our first test day. We knew the throttle linkage was a bit messed up. Once they got that sorted, the initial dyno run (dynojet @ Titan Motorsports/Orlando) showed 150whp. The timing and A/F were off. After monkeying with both those parameters, they got it up to 195. I know dynos all read a little different, but was surprised it sub 200.

Those are George's European headers.

GT Racing bought the company from George/his family. You can find replacement stuff there. Those are good headers. Not the same bling as some of the stainless systems out there but they make good power.

Appreciate the info. They don't look pretty but the build quality seems good.

Today was some great racing, loved the 2nd race with the 5 of you nose to tail. Who was in the red Boxster that was a couple hundred yards ahead of all the hot E cars? Was that an F Stock Boxster S running out of class?

Racing is about finding your own limit... not the car's.

When you "cheat", you are only cheating yourself.

Not surprised the S-Car-Go system was removed since Clark has a number of other cars it would work nicely on. That may be most of your HP loss although I am not familiar with what is on there.
