BTW, here's Fordahl at the last time he ran at the Nats in Leeds car.....2008. He gave up too much on day one. T 1 123 John Timothy Thomas 1971 Datsun 240Z Hoosier Mississippi R 54.608(1) 50.351 48.867 90.748 [23] Tampa, FL Zee Racing MW 42.354 41.944 *41.881 T 2 128 Greg T Fordahl 1971 Porsche 914 Hoosier Northwest R 53.029 50.796 56.747(3) 92.083 [28] Bremerton, WA Fordahl Motorsports/ Hoosier NP 46.484(1) 42.321 *41.287 (1.335) Day two shows how competitive the the car is. Thomas (in the same car)beat "Toby" both days in 2009. As usual Grant's information is garbage spread freely over the net. Here's some "garbage" fer yah JP! Talking about flat out WWF smack down of FP 914 by the big German sedan. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) Hey even one of our rookies in the Subie are breathing down Parade winning 914's back! Time for to sell that old underpowered FP jalopy or move to XP and put a subie in it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Take this and smoke it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) Class standings for FP [21 Cars] (9/9/2010 2:25:39 PM) --------------------------------------------------------- T 1 193 Toby Larsson 1998 BMW 328is Org Hoosier 57.536 57.484 61.756(2) 57.484 --------------------------------------------------------- T 2 123 John Thomas 1971 Datsun 240Z Blu Hoosier 58.823 57.892 58.269 57.892 (0.408) --------------------------------------------------------- T 3 9 Jonathan Jackson 1973 Porsche 914-6 Ylw Hoosier 60.960 59.984 58.891 58.891 (0.999) --------------------------------------------------------- T 4 93 Aaron Goldsmith 1998 BMW 3 Series Org Hoosier 61.900 61.288(1) 59.234 59.234 (0.343) --------------------------------------------------------- T 5 28 Leeds Gulick 1971 Porsche 914-6 Wht Hoosier 60.797 59.322 69.291(1) 59.322 (0.088) --------------------------------------------------------- T 6 128 Greg Fordahl 1971 Porsche 914 Wht Hoosier 59.451 67.244(3) 60.479(1) 59.451 (0.129) --------------------------------------------------------- 7 20 Josh Salvage 2005 Subaru STI Blk Hoosier 60.425 60.393 59.455 59.455 (0.004) --------------------------------------------------------- ...Man after seeing how bad Toby beat everyone I'm wondering if I made the right decision not to go. I thought all podium spots behind him would at least be within a second. Ex national champs are 2 seconds off the pace. WOw! This post has been edited by grantsfo: Sep 9 2010, 02:00 PM |

Wow! 280 HP! Thats rocking! Who built that motor? My 2480cc twin plug only made about 210 HP. And it was all top end loaded. You certainly have class winning power for engine size.

It took me a full season of driving that thing to finally figure it out when driving AX. You might be better served by putting some less aggressive cams in it if you are just doing AX. When I had the car I was doing more track events and that crazy top end was perfect for track but AX it took real skill to assure it wasnt bogging down out of turns. I had to drive it real loose so I could get rears spinning thats only way it would stay in power band. EIther that or shift down to first but then I was breaking too many CV's because of torque factor in first. I think only you and Dan can appreciate what it took to drive that thing fast at an AX. Its not an easy car to drive fast with that peaky motor. Thats why I'm very impressed with that 2.4 liter FP class car making 280 HP! Dang thats a wicked motor!
