Hey guys.
After last weekends autox, looks like I don't have much time left on current motor.
In a perfect world. what is the best combo motor application for RR. Whats the typical RPM range I need to build for? I am AIX. By accident I have 3rd gen with T56, C5, brakes, ZR1 11" wheels. So lets build something that will kick some a$$ but have good longevity. Using Iron roller block. Is the Moroso RR oil pan good? I have L31 heads, .512 lift crane hydraulic roller cam, vortec intake and 800DP Holley, 15/8 headers. SRP inverted dome piston and eagle rods. My question is: 383 or 350 ci. Open for suggestions. Going to build this over the Thanksgiving holiday Thanks Jarrod

NO.

The idea of racing is the competition with another dirver. Not really what place you end up. I don't care who you are; you're going to get tired of watching those monster AIX cars run away from you as if you're driving a miata. To me it sounds like you haven't even read the AI/AIX rule book yet. Do yourself a favor and read the rule book and build from there. You might actually save yourself some money by eliminating parts you thought you needed. Or there is the ST group which like AI has a power to weight ratio rule. ZO6's tend to run ST1 or ST2; just to give you an idea of what's in the class. AIX and STU are classes that remind me of the can-am cars. Big tires, big power and little weight. You really have to step up in those two classes.

So trade the ZR1 wheels for something 9" wide and build a 350 that can handle 400 hp but tune it to put down 320 at the wheels. Put some weight in the car where you need it, slap AI stickers on the side and actually have fun racing door to door with some guys.
