Cool color and very sanitary build! You may get a few suggestions from TMO members to consider a heavier N/A rebuild than going with a Supercharger . You will need to spend extra keeping that motor cool with a S/C on a road course, and that add a bunch to the mod bill. Good luck with whatever you end up doing as the car is a looker and I bet you get a lot of comments at the track or autocross.

Thanks Bill! I’ve put a lot of thought into the SC and THINK I have heat management sorted but am all ears. I’ve got a Mishimoto Rad, MMR Oil Cooler, CSX Intercooler, Meth Injection and Hood/Fender Vents. Regardless I appreciate your kind words and input!

Do make sure you get some wide rubber to hold all that power down, she will have a few more horses, ha. Check rules if running meth injection and doing Time Trials.

It will get 11’s and 315’s. I’ll likely get a second set of wheels with slicks and keep the 10’s / 275’s for street driving.

The car isn’t being built for competition at this point but I will check the rule book for NASA and GL as I can’t rule out doing some TT events.

Thanks Bill! Just got the diffuser installed and got it all cleaned up. Headed to Nelson Ledges in a few weeks for my favorite event of the year, 944Fest. Yeah it’s a Porsche event haha.

No problem, I am a NASA and Porsche Instructor and there are plenty of good Porsche Groups out there. Most of the drivers in the Kansas, Nebraska , and Western Iowa got their early track experiences with the Great Plains Porsche Club or the KC Region Porsche Club. They both had a lot of track rats and they welcomed all drivers. The last DE for Great Plains had a Miata, BMW, Corvette, and me in my Mach 1 ( well I was there to help , ha ) running with the Porsches.
