    My estimates say 205 Crank HP at the current weight. ( cars cannot get lighter)will bring them into the current ITS window. I think I can get 195. The big issue for the S14 is the poor camshaft selection. While these are sporty cars they have a truck motor in them. Again I am not trying to move the car.

    Without getting into too much detail and stepping on any toes, I can tell you 205 crank HP in a S13 motor is very attainable in fully legal ITS trim.
    One just needs to drop the money to the proper engine builder.

    Well I hope that wasn't an indication that I am not a proper engine builder...

    Now while Chris is knocking out the best effort I know of right now it looks like almost 2 secs off the fast car in those results? I hope you all are not telling me that's acceptable. I understand and am glad the adjustments are not track performanced based.

    Hey Joe, I'll take you meant that with a jabjab,winkwink,nudgenudge, but in case you didn't, I certainly didn't mean to knock (pun intended) your engine building skills.

    That being said, I was 2 seconds off a very fast SS RX7 at a recent track event. I had spanked 2+ year old Kuhmos (he had new Hoosiers) and I was shifting at 6K in the final stages of a break in.

    With full sphericals, the right driver , top shelf suspension, the right setup, lots of testing, and $6K motor, they can be fast. The SS and Bimmerworld cars didn't happen overnight.
