Andy, the "how" I was talking about is how did the 1.8 Miata get in ITA at 2380, and last I checked Bowie was a 1.6 and hovering around that SM track record at RA now..

The reason, I know, is the formula but ( as you often point out with the e36 ITS car the dyno sheets don't lie) in restricted form in SM these motors exceed their OEM hp number to the wheels. It is very reasonable to assume that in unrestricted IT trim they will exceed the normal IT formula gains. Now I dont blame you for building one of these cars, it will be THE car but will you lead the charge to mod the weight in a year or two when these cars mop up and the Honda Acura guys cry foul ???
