Wouldn't it be easier with a larger blower pulley?

The question is whether or not you will run your car on the track like that.

If yes, then it's an option although not one I would pursue.

If not, then it's still cheating.

Why not just go to a larger pulley?

no, i dont think so- because i would have to change out the injectors.

Why would you have to change your injectors if you went to a bigger pulley?

I still don't understand what this is all about, anyway.
Your car is a TT-B car. That is what it is.
Why you are looking to try to make it into a crippled TT-C car is beyond me.

I'm unsure why you wouldn't be able to account for that in your tune but I don't know much about your setup beyond what I've read here and it's not the focus of the discussion.

Well, the process is very simple: Either you adapt the car to fit the TTB class or you accept a more competitive class ranking.

Attempting to sabotage the car to gain a lower power level defeats the purpose of the classing. Can it be done? Sure! Should you? Well, racing is based largely on honor amongst drivers with some ability to challenge should someone suspect cheating. Even if you did sabotage your car and even if you run it that way it's clear the car isn't running at it's maximum capability. That, in effect, violates that pact that racers have with each other which is to run full out in competition.

So, the solution is to dyno the car in race trim and deal with the consequences whatever they might be or adapt the car to fit the class. Don't sandbag the car even if you run it that way, go full out.

Now, there are obvious exceptions to this. I happen to know drivers that run lower manifold boost on the track than on the street. However, this is part of their race setup and they don't engineer the car to run terrible they simply do it for safety and performance reasons.

That's why I suggested the larger pulley. There's nothing wrong with running lower boost to fit into a certain class.

Either way Denny, go dyno the car and see where you're at. All the fuss won't mean anything if you're within the limits.


Ah ****, does this mean we touched dicks?!?

thanks for all info guys.
trying to stay honest--and I will stay honest. if i removed the apv then i couldnt very well easily change anything? That was my thought.
I am concerned that my car will be too light and it will throw me into the TT A class because I cannot exceed 10.25/1 wgt/power ratio for the TT B class. That is why I am bouncing ideas around. I am not excited about adding ballast to my DD. But if I have too--i will. Up to a certain limit.

Hopefully work will allow me time off to dyno next week. Its around 125 miles away and not open on the w/e's.
Again thanks--no more crazyness from me until after that.
