Turbo's sweep STU....

[Knestis]

So a top-shelf EP build is somehow less expensive than an equal STU build...?

Not convinced.

It's not a top-shelf build, but it's supposedly *one of* the fastest RX7s in the country. good deal from a racer that lost interest. buying the car and spares for about what it would cost to put a moderately-built engine in my car.

It's the same cost, as most of the parts and assembly techniques are the same. What's different is that for a naturally asperated motor of the same HP potential and less torque will weights 200lbs more than a forced induction motor. Two years in a row the gap between the turbo race and the N/A race was 2 seconds per lap. I don't see that changing with any of the implemented changes.

AMEN!

I for one have been chatting with the fine folks at NASA, and they seem to at least have a clue as to how to make the parity work. Hate to go run with brand X, but damn, if you can't get stuff fixed, and with all the trouble the club is having with lack of leadership, and lack of direction, it may be time to look that way
