Thanks Bert. I'm not used to being so far down the order, but running semi slicks compared to everyone else on full slicks I knew I was on a hiding to nothing before the event, so I was trying to focus on my PB and just getting the most I could out of the car. I tried not to worry about what times everyone else was doing. I can't drive it any faster than that, and I was pretty happy with my consistency too.
I think with a set of slicks it would have been fighting for the class win on the weekend, or at least not too far behind them, so that would probably be the way I'd go. I don't like the idea of spending money on a turbo restrictor and retune to make the car slower.
The max people get out of the 36mm restrictor is 350bhp. And that takes some development to the restrictor shape and efficiency. Currently it has about 400 flywheel bhp. The restrictor limits power production to about 6000rpm so the Tomei cams might not work too well with that rev range, and if the turbo is too big the restrictor could cause it to surge. So it could get real expensive real quick trying to fit the restrictor and make it work well enough to reach the max 350bhp. You could very easily make alot less than that.
I'd rather go slicks and try my luck against the big banger Sport Sedans I think!
