I was thinking that. The car would be pretty nasty if I could get off the line. I meen on paper it seems like it would be a very competitive machine. Fully adjustable coil overs, enough power to prob run 10s, and the car is a good 400-600lbs lighter than most of the other cars I'de run against.

I even have the Nitto 555Rs which bryan say are the best tires to use for these events. Only problem is getting off the line any time I've tried to get off the line with 555Rs I get crazy wheel hop. I would need to practice a lot to adjust my launching style around the hop to reduce it, basically slip the clutch.

boomer i'll just throw it in u!

oh my gay god tony lol

It wouldn't hurt to try to get in despite not having a carpet. I don't think they would notice. Worst case scenario you park but you have the pit pass which I would get even if I wasn't racing. They are not extremely strict on rules. They've even let people race with illegal tires for one race.. but that pisses us veteran drivers off when we see that and you won't make a lot of friends, lol

Nitto 555r's are very good all around. Anything 100 treadwear or higher is legal. I just picked up some NT01's for my car so we'll see how those work.

How much power do you have? Power to weight ratio is important. You don't want to be too light and have tons of power cuz you'll just spin tires around the oval. 400-450 is pretty good for my 3500 lb car

Nt01s are R compounds so I thought they wouldent allow them even though their treadware is about 100 I believe. Nt01s will be a huge advantage. Those tires straight up smoke any normal street tire in the corners and my buddy who runs them on his 800whp corvette can get them to mostly hook on the street which is saying a lot.

I also know guys in the v8 rx7 world cutting low 1.5 60's with them at the strip. They are a VERY good tire. If they allow it let me know I'm sure you'll be impressed with them you can even drive them home although they wont last very long with lots of street miles.

I should have close to 400whp in a 2800lb car.

BTW goin back to the cam. Don I like the idle the way it is now, any way we can leave it like that? JK

It really doesnt have much lope even untuned. I could live with it the way it is but people will deff know its a cammed car.

Its not the idle that surprised me I knew that would get meaner. Its when I'm revving it that it just sounds a lot meaner. I just didnt think the cam would change the note of the engine that much. I am thinking of heading down the cape strapping the wheels and hood on and trying to make it back here to Norwood. I just wouldent have much time to check everything over and I usually like doing that, I know off the top of my head the wiring for the starter, crank position sensor ect all the wiring on the passenger side right now is closer to the header than I'de like, stuff like that is what I need to look through before i run the engine for any considerable amount of time. I usually go back through and check every nut/bolt I could have potentially touched.

Yes NT01's are legal. Anything under 140 treadwear is considered r-comp if we're talking SCCA. Nitto 555rs are considered r-comps. As long as you have something 100 treadwear and above.. it's legal. Lots of people started running NT01 recently

Another thing I just noticed and Don will appreciate this.

There is zero motor noise with this cam. I get no racket or sewing machine noise usually associated with cams.

Those slightly longer pushrods I guess worked well

Don Knows His SHIT!!!!!!!
