Hey Cal, just want to say thanks for all of the time you've spent on this for "US". It's pretty much a thankless job. It's always hard to get more than two people to agree on anything which always puts you in a position to be critisized. You just can't please everyone. Now we have a concrete...

QUOTE The 275-60-15 tires have always been legal for EVERYONE in TSO to run. They would be REQUIRED for those wanting to run the newly allowed larger turbos. So, to clarify, if I run the GT55, to be legal in TSO, I would need to run on 275-60-15's ? Yes?/No? 2500 miles is a long haul...

Cal, couple of things, First I'm not familiar with all of the turbo measurements. Do the numbers that are stated for the Turbos include the GT 55 ? secondly, what's the definition of a stock appearing dash. Gene Fluery has a "stock appearing" fibreglass dash. Would a fibreglass dash meet...

No need for you. Turn the boost up on your 109:rolleyes: Go play in the traffic.

I'm building one as we speak. Bobby at RPE is building the motor:biggrin: Car is being put on a diet while it's being built:cool: George

You'll have to be quicker than that to be competative in our class.:biggrin: Try the TSM thread, you might fit there. :rolleyes: Have you ever run your car at the track ???. What seems fast on the street is like running in glue at the track.:(

I'd second that proposal !!

Cal, I'm OK with 3300# George

QUOTE Cal I know you have the racers interest in mind so RUN with it. Agreed !:cool: George

Hey Mike, Bobby from RPE just e-mailed and gave the news about the DB belt drives. Please just forward one to Bobby direct for my engine build. As soon as you have a price, let me know and I'll get a bank draft off to you right away. Thanks so much. Also, did my bank draft for the DB camshaft...

It's even simpler than that. If you are running faster than 8:50, you need a 25.5 cage .. PERIOD ! That is not stated in the TSO rules ( as of yet ) OR create a new class for faster than 8.50 ( might be UTS ) Ultra Turbo Street. In any event, we still need rules and SAFETY should be at...

Convert to a 16 volt system. That makes 'em work real good :cool: George

All the above suggestions and opinions are good ones BUT, there's still no definative rules. How do you go about building a competative TSO car to a smoke and mirror set of guesses and opinions. Who is in charge of setting the rules in TSO.? I'm sorry if I'm stepping on someones toes here...

Mike, you have a PM George
