I hope he puts all the power to the ground. It would be nice to see an evo in the low 9's or even the 8's. It is a huge goal to achieve though.
Having a car with this much horsepower you have to keep in mind its not a matter of if you break parts but rather when will they break. They will break and most likely often. From reading the other thread it sounds like 3240 beefed up a lot of parts that would normally fail so lets keep our fingers crossed. It could take many passes to get the car dialed in at the track too.

... if you get but one good pass, may as well make the best of all the extraneous factors...

3240: I have to applaud your project because not many people will try and "break the rules" of what's logical and usual in the motorsports arena.
Jim Hall didn't come-up with their Chaparrals just by trying to stick to usual stuff and tire grip!.
Please keep us posted and good luck!

Maybe you should have kept to your word and let a great project go on unmolested by your inside the box thinking.
