The motor gets a pretty good workout (though the shock on the drivetrain is a lot less than drag cars see), and an extra 10 to 20 hp isn't going to make a huge difference in my lap times at my skill level. Hell, at my skill level I could have 50 more hp and it probably wouldn't help my times... the car is already faster than my ego... by a lot. 
And I'll be giving rides at the 1st meet that the road isn't covered in ice, and I've got the car there w/ proper registration. I still haven't had time to get it smogged!  |
Well, thats one thing that concerns me with my car... an engine work out. Im afraid my car cant handle it. Its stock EVERYTHING. Just bolt ons. Do you think race gas (100oct) and 18psi will be ok to run around RFR?
