My Hoosier A7’s are ZR rated and good for 186+ MPH. Ride height, undercar/ducting, Aero and downforce are all equally important and being taken into consideration
I do. Sounds like a rewarding challenge. Or death.I don't think going 200 mph in an s197/s550 is the greatest idea...
If I had the budget for this type of build I would go with turbos. Nelson said that when his engines were tore down, the main bearings on his turbo setups looked better than the ones on blower setups if that means anything. But these are 1500+hp setups. Probably not a deciding factor for most people running 500-800hp.Why is everyone against turbos? I would think they would be easier to make big power with. And is there an issue with the bigger blowers snapping cranks on the later engines?

Ok, the biggest TVS available is the TVS-2650. What about a big twin screw from frpp whipple, k bell etc. They make those pretty damned big, like 4 L and bigger..and liquid cooled if you want.
The minimum aero you'd need is a ducted hood (like the Tiger Racing one), a front splitter, a rear wing, and possibly a rear diffuser. I'm not an aero guru, so I'm SURE I'm missing things. But that would be a start.
And you shouldn't immediately go for 200. Start with 100, make sure there aren't any issues (like insufficient downforce on the front wheels causing no steering), then step it up by 10-20 mph at a time.
That hood you currently have will become a parachute over 120 mph. The only non-bespoke hood capable of venting underhood pressure that I know of is the Tiger Racing hood.
4 grand and no control arms?We’ll see how the 4 grand worth of BMR stuff I’ve bought over the past few months works out, I will say their customer support guy is a sharp dude hopefully he helps design these components.
touche, lol. I have 90% of the stuff you linked plus the other chassis braces they make as well as strange struts (no watts link or swap bars) and didn't spend near that much, I have about $2600 in my BMR setup, to be fair, some of the linked parts kits overlap.
just having fun...... I have a bunch of their stuff on mine as well and doubt I hit the $4K marktouche, lol.

haha, I'm almost certain that's what this thread is for at this point.just having fun...... I have a bunch of their stuff on mine as well and doubt I hit the $4K mark
