We will be running a 285 Pirelli Slick.
HP will depend on some of our sponsors. No less than 400whp. Hopefully in the 550-600 range.
Don't think we are keeping the heater core. Never had any issues with that last year even with it being way cold during practices days.
We would love to run the 3.91? But again, comes down to finances.
I will be running o2 this year. There is strong evidence we were running under hypoxic conditions last year. And even with my physical training, I am not at elevation normally so we are not going to risk it.

We were spending a lot of time in between gears. Mostly 2nd and 3rd. With longer gears comes less shifting. I'm also hopeing that we can get the car to the point where the switch backs at Brown Bush and through the W's can be taken in 2nd gear. Our top speeds for practice and race day were in the low 120's.

Sorry for the late update. Things have been busy.
Cage is coming together nicely. Got the seat position mocked up.
And the dash-bar and steering column installed.
Gutted all the doors.

Unfortunately, it looks like the Evo will not be ready in this for this years running of the PPIHC. We plan to be back in full strength next year. Thanks for all the supporters. On a personal note, I am currently exploring options in other cars at the moment.
