That is in direct contradiction to what David Finch told me when I told him about my dyno results. He stated it has to be in FRONT of the HFM to make the full 180HP. When I told him about my car and the other car not running past 3k with it behind the HFM, he stated we need to do more development.[/b]
Then so be it. Maybe we need to define 'in front of'. The SIR's do not work directly in front of the HFM. That is the air filter side. They have made the power after the HFM but before the throttle body.

Why can't the CRB tell us how they got the car to run 180HP with the SIR in front of the HFM and give us the results of this final test where they tested SIR's up to 33mm?[/b]
To correct you, they tested up to a 35mm - which lost all of 3-5hp. Again - there should be a summary coming out. NO test yeilded 180whp with the SIR in front of the HFM as defined by the above comments. After the HFM but well before the TB.

This is in direct contradiction to what the ITAC and CRB told us the effect of the SIR would be. I can quote your post and others that state that the SIR only caps HP and it should not have affected my 180HP baseline.[/b]
That has been stated earlier in this thread. There were items that were not 'as sold' to the CRB by Finch. The resultant effect on all cars was a data point the CRB had to weigh when deciding the outcome.

So, the story changes - it went from "unless you have a full build making 200+HP, you won't be affected" to "YOU MUST DO A FULL BUILD INCLUDING MOTEC TO GET THE TAGETED 180HP".[/b]
Unfortunately, yes. But I will say that if you want to be at the peak of the power to weight ratio of the class, you have to do that anyway. If you do the 100% build, you are in the same position as everyone else...same target pw/weight at 2850.

It doesn't matter to me in the end as I will be moving on to NASA and BMWCCA. You guys can accuse me of taking my ball and going home and so be it. But, I can say I got kicked in the nuts and decided it was better to go home, than continue to get kicked in the nuts. :D I have no interest in fighting for position with drivers that I should be dominating.[/b]
I understand.

Yes, I did get the track record by .1 second, but I thought track records didn't matter? [/b]
Especially when you are 25whp down from where you COULD be.
What formula do you want published - the 'process' for weight has been hashed over a hundred times, the SIR stuff is for engineers - the END RESULT IS the point.
