Big Picture of IT - Share Your Opinions

I appreciate the thoughts on the SIR and dynos at the track... as it was not as easy as slap it on and presto.... Due the many, many different attribute and varieties of cars in IT, there just is no simple easy way to balance them all equally.

Great point Jeff! Even if there was a way to equalize engine horsepower, that would not make all IT cars equal. Differences in suspension design, gearing and brakes (just the things accounted for presently when setting wieght) would make different cars faster or slower. Guess what folks... we'd still need some type of formula!

just another thing on trying to get all cars having the same hp to wt ratio with SIR's. if the characteristics of the motors are completely different but the hp numbers are close or the same with the SIR which motor did the SIR hurt more? the high revving motor which needs lots or air to move in and out or the slow revving motor which depends more on its tq numbers. just food for thought
