I bet that 35R would be too laggy on my motor, so even if I was making 400+ whp out of it, the smaller 30R would actually be faster around the track.
How much boost are you planning on running in a "high boost" scenario on the L? Would you be able to get to 2 bar?  Also, are you running a high red line to make use of those heads? |
I would recommend if your changing your pistons to run 9:1 for your goals on 100 octane, should help with the powerband and more importantly the shift onset response.
I plan to do some stress testing on what we're calling "the developement motor" over the winter and would imagine we'll see it getting up to 2 bar.
Currently we run the car to 7600rpms, we have tested it out to 8500rpms but I have a gremlin in my wiring causing some miss issues up top (going to rewire the whole car over the next couple of weeks when I am done with the 25hr race).
We also run the new soon to be released Cosworth oil pan and baffle which helps with the oiling and high rpms (you can run an additional 2qts of oil with it)
