Adventures in PTE/TTE
#701
Where are you from?
I'm in Indianapolis, planning on working on getting all the nasa hpde sessions done this year and run tte or ttd next year. I'm running a NA with vvt swap but I just dynoed at 152hp/130ftlbs, so it will really have to be detuned for tte. What do you recommend I do?

Read the rules here: https://www.nasaproracing.com/rules
3 points for non-BTM shocks, no reservoirs
2 points for non-BTM springs
Xidas = 5 points.

Run it really heavy on a * reclass.
Or this. By the time you earn your TT license, it might be 2017 anyways.

Shaft diameter rule does exist, just doesn't apply to Xidas.

I cant break it down much more than I did. I can currently afford the sways since I'm on an open diff and SM6s. This leaves me with 2 points left on the table and the 2 brake points are pretty much a waste.
Near-future goal setup includes removing the brakes(-2) to fit SM7s(+1 over SM6) and a diff(+3), to bring me up to the 19 point cap.
Jeff is pressuring me into stock sways and R7s over sways and SM7s but i currently love the way it handles and don't want to risk it :(

Just playing with the NASA calculator, this is what I would build:
NB1, 2410# 146whp
83.5mm 9.9:1 blueprinted
full exhaust
stock cast header
MS3 Pro
E85
CAI
Xida 1000/400
stock sway bars
OS Giken & 4.77
15x9 6UL
SM7
Pretty much what we ran in 2013 but now with 2pts leftover that I would use for ELBJ's.

There's a very fast vvt swapped NA in my region. He's even on a TTE no-star reclass and uses the 7 asterisk points on wing/airdam. He has the PT record, I have the TT record. Our cars are about as different as two NASA PT/TTE Miatas can get.

Then put your little hand in mine. There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb. Babe I got You Babe, I got You Babe. Ok Campers rise and shine and don't forget your boots....

Even if they're not totally dead (and by dead I mean renamed to TT5/6/7, no one expects NASA to completely give up on slow car racing), it's looking rather likely that there will be a significant rules change. Maybe not, either way, too early to start speculating how to prep a car for 2017 season for D/E yet.
Shaft diameter rule does exist, just doesn't apply to Xidas.

And your also right about not spending money prep'ing a car for unknown rules. I did finally sell the sport brake setup I bought in the fall of '13 for my '99 when they split NB1 and NB2 in the '14 rules.

I think all the OG's (former national champs) have left PT. New blood is fast though. Taking up the fight quite well. The full points build NB1 has never won nationals or T25 though. I'd like to see that.
