Chevy's new 2.7 4cyl gas turbo is another idea. I think they have a 3 liter diesel coming out too. I just don't see the big LS getting choked out by the restrictor (especially at high altitude) as an option for winning the car class.

Then again I sell Commercial Print for a living so what the hell do I know :)

I don't think there is any high altitude in the current one country format. No turbo required.

right but if you want more HP from a smaller motor it's definitely a big help. Plus the tech has come so far in the past 5-10 years.

Twin charge the Textron. Speed makes a supercharger and another makes the turbo already.

I like that. Obviously the internals would need some overengineering but I like the idea. Now how to we get the twits at the ASO to drop the speed limit?

Someone needs to contact the

Competitors departement

and say how non competitive the race was for a race vehicle classified in a car class that is given a speed limitation?

I'm very impressed that they finished with 2 cars and got all 3 for the final stages. It's really an amazing feat for a private team.

Until next time, keep the rubber side down!
