Hey race fans,
Sometime in the future I plan on running a 2.7 six over my four banger. Anyone have any idea about where my weight will be after the -6? I'm I looking at 50lbs? 100lbs? More?? I could drop some weight from the car still. Want to get that HP to weight just right!! Theres a large group in NASA (ST4) I think I could fit into perfectly If I get the math correct.

Kermee has a Peter Dawe 2.7 showing 215rwhp on Mustang Dyno. The car weighs 1945# with 1/3 tank fuel. The car is faster than the driver.
Engine rebuild costs over $30k. Buttercup has a 2316 Raby kit engine showing 160rwhp on DynoDynamics. The car probably weighs about 2200. Rebuilt by myself 3 times in 2 years doing DE events at about $3k per rebuild. Best bang for the buck would be a big /4 with dry sump & lighten the car. |
