mglobe Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I just picked up a former Battery Tender car and am trying to figure out which class to run in. Anyone else in this situation? If so which class are you planning to run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takjak2 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I'd say step 1 is get the dyno sheet done. Then you can always run ST4 if suitable or if there's better turnout or if the schedule allows you to double up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that info would help, wouldn't it. 2016 Global MX-5 Cup. I've pretty much come to the conclusion that PT is the best place for it, as it should compete as is. I have zero interest in modifying this car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbirch Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I'd be interested to hear the peak power if/when you dyno it. I bet there a hoot to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
