Tim- when "converted" to ITR what car model does it become? How much needs to be swapped? I only ask as I know this is your ultimate goal.

1. Y'all are making this harder than it need to be, actually doing math. Ron's guesses are about as good as one is going to get if the question is about how much power is going to be necessary to get it in the competitive ballpark.
2. The car is listed in S - not in R and not in both. There's no such thing as upgrading to a class above any given car's spec line.

The cars here have to make AT LEAST 200whp. I've said it before...I have seen no dyno sheets but at the same weight as our ITR S2000 in it's debut and shake down, they were able to pull out and pass at WGI and we had 205whp at the time.
The 'upgrade' being spoken of is probably a 2.5, 2.8 or 3.0 swap.
You're crazy Tim. lol

The guy hangs of High Tension Power Poles in a Blizzard/Hurricane, you pick the natural disaster, So that we can quickly get back on line and update our Stuff. And he does it 18 hours on 6 off for weeks on end after the disaster, while living in a hotel room or the front seat of a line truck.
Its taken you this long to figure out hes crazy. We have all known it for years.
Tim have you recieved the call form OK yet? It might be a bit too far.
All posts are made by a fat old guy with a crappy old car that isnt supported by a factory anymore and therefore should not be taken seriously, EVER
We buy our tires at WalMart 205/50-15 NT-01 $148.00 last all season and go faster as they wear out........

well as dan has stated yes im crazy and loving it!!!! I do most of my work with little to no sleep oh and we all like to drink so that takes time also! LOL but back to my question im just wondering what it takes to be to be at the pointy end of the ITS field? I know i did well with the corrado in 4 races qualifing 1st at the narrcoffs at lime rock but the car i am buying is expected to produce 170 plus or minus WHP. I wont know how it will produce until we get her home and put it through its paces but i know it will do well! @ raymond i do know i have the parts to make it an ITR car the parts are in the daily driver BMW. Hope to see everybody soon at the race track!!! Thanks to everybody that did the math for me i think im on the right track with the car oh and yes i was a little crazy to build the corrado but damn it was a fast car! and it sounded cool!!!!

Thanks Glenn, I think you got, except I don't think BMW's come with DW suspensions. Perhaps 50 adder for brakes and 100 for torque. By those numbers Tim needs to put down ~181-2 whp to make process power. Like Andy said, in full 10/10th mode, they probably make MUCH MORE as witnessed repeatedly.
