I'd like to make it up to Steamboat this winter to the ice track. Anyone know when the ACNA gathering is? I assume you can otherwise go there whenever you want, or at least there are 'options' re the dates?
Not that 900hp is any different than 250hp on ice, LOL...

I get to kill a few birds along the way with some overdue family visits and take care of some business in a couple cities as well.
If it were a vacation I'd be heading up to Jackson, WY and then over and back down, but that trip will happen later...

Based on other cars they've created, Mark expects 900hp at the crank on race fuel, and roughly 600 at the wheels on 91 octane.
If I take delivery before he gets his dyno ready, I'll have it done out here on 91 and again on 104 (I think it's 104).
I'm not sure what the drivetrain loss is on this car, any idea what a 6M Torsen Quattro driveline saps?
I'm not interested in a 'hp pissing contest' anyway; if max HP were my objective, we could have gotten it up over 1000hp with bigger turbos, but I wanted to minimize the lag.
My primary reason for going to the 3.0T was to pick up a little more torque on the low end to help offset the lag, as I'll also use the car for towing from time to time, and launching my boat (18' Boston Whaler). This should all work pretty well, the way it's set up.
