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

I am AIX.

That's easy:

Follow the prompts, providing input, as requested. A reboot isn't necessary afterward, but recommended. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif)

I have no idea what that means either but I can tell you this...You are not going to kick anyone's axx in AIX with the combo you're talking about here. You're not that far south from the Great Lakes Region and could end up running races against two of the fastest AIX cars in the country and if you ever think about running the Nationals at Mid-Ohio you'll run against them for sure. It takes 600 to 800 RWHP to even think about being near the front in AIX. What you definitely are going to run into down south is a former AS racer from Florida that is converting his car to AIX. He's got a thread on the Nasa forums with photos of his new mods. You need to step back and look at AI.

AIX is for two kinds of drivers: Ones that have the money/resources to do it right. These guys have fast cars and know how to drive them. The other group are guys with 400 hp and an excuse that they can't run AI. They want to be fast but don't have ability to run at the front of AI and in the twisty stuff usually have an CMC or FFR car up their axx!

Choose wisely,

Sidney

Then maybe SCCA and NASA will change rules because Im not buying more stuff for my car. Started this set up in 1999 besides, getting on the track and starting a race is like winning in a sense. Lots involved in preparation. I'll never have a 600 hp rwd engine to race. I'll run AI if they will take 11" wheels, 6speed in a 3rd gen, c5 brakes and high 400 hp. If not then, looks like I'll finish last in AIX with a smile across my face. Anybody agree?

You need to stop while your ahead. This statement is so contradictory with what you say you want to do its shocking. Every time you open your mouth ignorance just spills out and washes away any respect anyone has for you. If you want to compete, read the rule books for each class, make an honest assessment of where you fit with your budget and skill level. Guys here can help you with those recommendations AFTER you have read the rules and know what you're talking about. Then you build the car to suit the rules, it is not the other way around. Building a race car means you build to someone else's rules. If you want to be hard headed and build the car they way you want, you can do that but you'll never compete wheel to wheel.
