Z-ENVY RACING Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) Anyone running an LS3? What's your weight, HP and gph? Edited September 4, 2019 by Z-ENVY RACING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snorman Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Just FYI, an LS3 is not legal for the series. There are no vehicles on the VPI list powered by an LS3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snorman Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 I should clarify...not CLASS legal. I'm not sure if the series would let you run a race car with a 430 hp LS3 in EC but IMO would not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking because work/life is getting in the way of completing the Z and anxiety to race is brewing. Looking at this car, detuned of course but don't want to piss anyone off. https://www.racingjunk.com/NASA-American-Iron/183950816/1990-Ford-Mustang.html If it's not viable I may go BRZ for now until I finish the Z. Thanks again for the reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snorman Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Yeah, we circulated that link in our FB Messenger group last week. It's neat, but that might be over the top even for EC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what's the fastest EC car on ChampCar? Does detuning and rev limiting matter? I know I am beating a dead horse and will most likely get the BRZ for common ground sake, but curiosity is killing me. Not in it to win, just want to have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I think the fastest we've seen has been the Team Sahlens Cayman GT4./Cup. I "think" at Utah or Road America somebody ran a 911 GT3. So maybe they'd let you run it in EC? I would think the speed differential would cause possible issues with less experienced racers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for taking the time to reply @Snorman. How did it go when those cars were on the track, any issues? Who did they get approval from?

As I recall the Cayman was 2-3 seconds faster than our Cobra, so we didn't have a big speed differential, but not sure of other teams in the field. I'm pretty sure that Mustang would be quite a bit faster than the Cayman, lol. I would check with @chisek or @National Tech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbogrill Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Why would you detune it? Now more importantly, tell us about the Z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-ENVY RACING Posted September 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) Well, work/life slowed the progress. Still putting some time into it, but at my pace it will be 2021 before I get it done.

Team Infiniti Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 I remember seeing this car before, its nice but may wind up as EC as this series does not want to go the direction of tube chassis. All it needs is a VQ 3.5L /6 speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
