Give me one good reason to not switch-back to NA on my track car.
I was about to put my track car back together when I found a cracked exhaust manifold. Give me a good reason why I should not pull all the turbo shit out, pull the low-compression engine, and swap-in the 11.5:1, 170whp engine and track this car NA.

If you will have fun in C/D/E, go for it Hustler!

I wonder if I'll have enough fun on the track to make-up for the loss in power and lugging that tire trailer with 100lb/ft less torque. I could get the car down to ~2075lb and I really think I'd run the same times.

The only thing I've heard from you lately is about how terrible tracking is, and how unfun it is. |
Go for it. I went the same route with my red car and finally had fun. No studs to worry about, no major heat issues, no problems with brakes.

So your ABSURD mani cracked?
That's it, now I'm convinced that all tube mani's crack over time, no matter what. |

Track the DD once it has the new motor in, then make your decision.

Ha, we were just talking about this eh.
Sorry to hear about this hustler, I will fix it. Do you think you will have to cut-off the flange to do it? I want to fix it, but I'm still leaning toward going NA for a while if not forever on this car. Then, I'll have a street car to daily with the AF stuff. It's been a fun, reliable four years so far, I'm just in a place now where I don't really want to deal with everything that comes with tracking such a powerful car. If I had a truck, trailer, and a house I might have a different opinion. |

Every effort should be used to make sure none of the flanges are moved. or else I'd have to build a jig for your mainfold before hand, I don't have that time, material, money, etc.
From the tiny cellphone pics you sent me, looks pretty simple to fix. |
