Modified Magazine Tuner Shootout - Street car ONLY!!
#51
E85, you could be more aggressive... and with good ignition and amount of fuel, you should and could make more power... Well, that's what Ive heard so don't quote me.. But many I have talked to E85 is becoming a better choice for high HP application.

Spoke with the SCCA National Champ that works with me at Honeywell and he is definitely IN if someone is interested and needs a driver to assist. I've seen several posts that talk about race gas, 93 octane and E85. Not sure if they rules allow anything OTHER than what's available in AZ out of the pump. If that's the case, 91 is the highest, however several stations sell 100 octane unleaded in the pump as well as E85. Just an FYI!

Can you email me some detail specs? herblenny@gmail.com
Make sure the car is quiet I just verified with Modified and no points will be gain below 95dB and points will be taken away after 95dB.
Here is a dB comparison chart..

Just received this email from Modified Magazine...
So, hope this info helps.. I guess I was wrong about what they consider PRO...

If there's some uncertainty over a driver's pro status with us, have them send us a driver resume and we'll let you know if they're eligible to compete or not.

But wait a minute. That would make TOTAL sense, so we'll probably NIX that idea.
If they used some popular Big Name drivers they might also draw more attention to the CHALLENGE in their magazine, thus resulting in EVEN MORE magazine sales. Nah... it'll never work

Well, there's good news and bad news for me. The good news is Carbonetic has agreed to sponsor me and to hook me up with one of their awesome 2 way carbon LSDs and a new center hub to convert my triple disc clutch to a T56 setup. I really appreciate their willingness to do this for me.
The bad news is the center hub section has to be sourced from Japan as I understand it, making it very unlikely I could get the car together and shipped off to the event within the next month. So I think I am out barring some car miricale
I am going to take Caronetic up on the sponsorship offer as it's just too good to pass up. So at the very least, at DGRR I'll be sporting a new 2 way carbon LSD if you would like to check this out. Carbonetic claims it is OEM quiet like and works great so we'll put it thru the test and report back. As for the T56 center hub, it's pretty cool you can just swap out the center section and make the triple disc carbon clutch compatible with a T56.

^Yes. I emailed them about the timing and told them it was highly unlikely we (read "Steve" ) could pull it off without immediate parts. Their info to me didn't reference the shootout, it referenced all other events and the "rules" for the sponsorship.
I'll let them decide if they wish to move forward, but it seems they will. It will be good advertising for them one way or another so it should be worthwhile.
