I have done lots of work getting the corner weights right in this car and it is currently well sorted and set up. PO dyno results... 142 hp at the rear wheels with 210 ft-lb's of torque. This was with an extremely rich mixture. Since then mixture changes and fixed throttle linkage which no allows the carb to open fully. These changes made a huge seat of the pants feeling difference but it hasn't been dyno tested since. David raced this car in SCCA solo 2 events for several years in Street Mod 2 class. In my region The car usually comes in the top 5 times of day in a 100 car field and has several FTD wins. What does this car need? A set of new rubber to be extremely competitive. The current tires as they have lots of rubber left but are just older tires. Drain and refill of the fuel cell. Any stickers and lettering shown in pictures has been removed.
