Spoilers, SCCA legal Options

[Randal]

Down at AAS yesterday.

All the modified cars had huge spoilers. I thought 8" was the limit, but it looked more like a foot.

Got to figure out what is legal and get one of those puppies on 222.

I wish we had more flexibility with the Boxster motors in FP. They offer the 914 all sorts of options. I cant remeber a 2.5 or a 2.7 ever being offered in a 914 LOL! So you get all the flexibility in the world to build a 2.5? As long as its a 2.5? Thats cool but us Boxster guys have to stick with stock block, bore and stroke configs from the Boxster and Cayman from my understanding. So 914's actually get a nice benefit in FP.

Because if there was a loop hole I would love to destroke a 3.2 Boxster S down to 2.9, lighten up the crank, rods pistons, etc and create a high reving M96 screamer. I guess since they added Cayman to same line we can use newer 2.7 M96 block and maybe get the 3.4 heads from a 987 to make a franken motor. A 2.7 with Cayman heads might be the motor. Unfortunately the 2.5 block is pretty limited - I think I can bolt 2.7 heads on that block which whould give the motor a better cam.

My approach is similar to yours. Try to keep the car as light as possible as I think thats the advantage with current FP crowd. Especially with the AWD turbos. You will never beat them being heavier. Even the BMW and Datsun run a little heavy too.
