Guys, I've got a 95 z28 that I have been using for DE's and modding step by step. First step was brake upgrade to c5 brakes, then suspension, next was upping the power a bit with lt4 hotcam and headers, bolt ons...makes 330 rwhp right now.
Well I just ordered a set of LE2 heads from LLoyd elliot with his LE2 cam, I am going to be looking at around 400-410 at the wheels. WHic will be good because I need a bit more power on the straights on the big tracks. I am contemplating dabbling in AI and maybe some other amateur racing series...I know AI has a Weight/RWHP limitation. I guess if you go over you can add ballast, but that would be a negative impact on handling and braking. So I guess the best solution is to lighten the car as much as possible and set the hp to the max... Is it possible to restrict your engine with a restrictor plate when running Nasa AI? Does anyone have a good guess at the weight of a 95 z28 m6 with the rear seat and all stuff (carpet etc.) in the rear removed? |

It sounds like 400hp is only doable if you do a full interior car+ added weigth of safety equipment and chasis stiffening? 400hp*9.5=3800lbs with driver which would be a pig (handleing wise) compare to a 3182lbs car.
This is good to know (I guess I'll hold of on that cam swap for now) I've already have 347hp, I guess I need to weigth the car to see where I'm sitting ratio wise. Although I won't be competing for a year yet. |
