I went back and checked the dyno sheet from Cordes after they installed a cc.
642hp/698tq SAE on a 108 degree day using e40.
I've been to one 1/2 mile track day with this car and 1 day road course though I've been roadcoursing for 20 years. On the wildhorse east track in Phx a few weeks ago that started out at 68 degrees the first session but by the 3rd session was 93 degrees.
Watching the cars temp readout for trans (max 223 degrees) and the aeroforce gauge for coolant and oil temp (max 238/246 degrees) I was pleasently surprised to see no overheating. Perhaps running e42 helped?
The east track is relatively small with a short straightaway (120mph max) and technical with lots of turns.
I've leaned toward porting the blower and then going the bigger tb and big gulp, but Cordes thinks I'll be running out of fuel with that arrangement, even with a low side boost a pump. Seems I'd be pushing that 700wrhp mark then and I thought the low side boost a pump would take care of that, but I admit Cordes has a whole lot more expereince with these then I do. He suggested a cam for power and fueling, I'm just not sure I want to go into the engine and then I'd reason, hey while you're there...port the heads as well. Next thing I know I'd be into it $6k vs below $2k. Yikes!
