when you say he has driven evos before you mean like co-driving?

 

sort of. when his BMW breaks he usually dives into another car to complete the runs. Both Navid and myself have given Vic and his motley crew of co-drivers the keys so they can complete their runs in local events.

anyhow,

trying to get this thread back on topic...

Here is a power level to reach for in SM. the car is mostly prepped for XP (anything bolted down that could be removed, has been removed), but the engine is built within the SM rules.

I don't really understand what you're saying. There are no rules for engines in SM other than it has to be a Mitsubishi block.

I don't know if it's intentional, but the HP looks a little peaky for 400whp. When I saw the dyno graph I first thought it was a GT35 or similar size turbo . . .

Here is another SM competitor's dyno graph:

 

I said that just for clarification, since it is an XP prepped car.

that said, in some of the non-SCCA events that he runs the car in, he competes in SM and not XP.

edit: it's also worth mentioning that technically for the car to run in XP he needs to install a restrictor as per the prepared rules 17.10.c.2

 

Here is the course from 2007 Nationals:



Does anyone who was there care to share their thoughts on it. Which side did you like better? Which side did your car seem to like better? What sections do you know you could have done better??

First off, this was all in an A-stock Solstice, not a SM Evo.

Day 1 on The Blob went well. I was 0.2 seconds out of trophies at the end of the day in spite of the fact that I chickened out in the really fast sweeper on all three runs. As long as you took a tight line it was pretty fast. Day 2:



Things didn't go well.

 

i loved the blob but hated the air strip

 

Chris...that was my understanding too, until I talked to Brad McClure...XP doesn't require a restrictor...just the other Prepped classes do. My problem was that the 07 rulebook didn't really describe XP, only the other classes, and I didn't feel like digging through the Fastrax to verify. Hopefully the 08 rulebook is updated...

Ah, so you finally reveal the numbers in addition to the graph. That's ridiculous power - I don't know how you guys do it. I was around 360whp/380wtq maybe and ~200lbs heavier.

 

He also was complaining quite a bit during the Pro Finale about how AWD cars should be in their own class, so it wouldn't be a surprise at all if he switched over so that he no longer had a deficit at Pro events.

 

anyone get any new parts yet? i am about to place some big orders

 

Here is the thread where I gave up the numbers:

All that on the stock intake ;-)

As Buschur would say - it's all about having the right combination of parts! (although he has said that I have all the WRONG parts on my car)

Still formulating my plan of attack for this year. I know most of the parts I will need, but it is now to the point where I can't decide where to start . . .

 

lol i dont know what else you could do... are you planning on diffs and stuff? weight reduction?

 

- ETS FMIC waiting in the garage
- Spare t-case is on the way to Shep for a rebuild that will then be swapped onto my car in place of my dying t-case
- Upper and Lower IC pipes + fresh Hawk pads + Mini Battery Kit on the way from VIP
- 880cc injectors purchased and on the way
- Removing alky kit and getting tuned on E-85 once all of the above is installed

I also want to do a 20g-LT, but I'm waiting on Buschur to get back in touch with me. I'm not as worried about that, but I want all of the listed items done in time for the two CA events, both of which I'm registered for...
