Gary Sheehan Teams with ESX to run Speed GT! - Page 7 - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

Firstly the GT35 wont flow enough air for 1000hp regardless of what else is done to the car. Basically I equate a mid to low 10 second car as a 500whp car certainly not 700whp. I guess it again falls down to the measuring stick used.

The car does not run a restrictor it just has restriction placed on it by the SCCA, at this time that restriction is 22psi and 8,000rpm using the current motor/turbo setup.

How do they enforce the boost limit?

.45 and a shovel.

edit: and now that Gary and Mike are back on this thread, it's time to put the ass into all of us making assumptions.

Well the ESX car is equiped with a Motec ADL2 and the logs are pulled by the SCCA, I think there is a requirement for them to add a Stack device that monitors several items one of which being MAP.

After watching how down on power you and the Skyline are, you think WC is going to up your boost allowance for the next event? SCCA seemed very willing to work with Mazda a few years back to make their 133hp Proteges competative in a class w/ a bunch of 220hp cars in WCTC... hopefully they'll give the same considerations to the new cars in GT this season.

I kinda figured. But wouldn't it be possible to fudge the MAP and make 25 psi look like 22? I know you said the car can't really go that high yet, but you know what I mean.

I am sure there are ways but from what I am told the Stack unit is basically a unit built to spec for SCCA and they check it's implementation and pull it's logs directly.
