Same thoughts. I am converting a 1995 SM to ITA for the 2006 season. My thoughts on the car:

- I think it will be one of the best handling and braking cars in ITA
- I think the power potential is not huge but will be enough to compete on smaller tracks like NHIS and LRP.
- I think it will be very hard compete on big tracks like RA, Pocono, WGI...
- I think it will qualify well
- If it gets held up in the corners, it will be tough.
- My goal is 130-135whp...(160 crank)

Andy you will not have any problem with that HP, my 1.6 was in that range. I fell like I could find another 5 or 10 hp with ECU mods and some head work.
