Hi,
The person you spoke with at Racetorations is Darryl Uprichards. I think I
have the name right. At any rate, he's a pretty good guy and seemingly
quite capable.
Now, I wanted to get this one out there just in case there are aspiring
racers following this thread. Boring a TR6 motor out to 2.7 liters is
pretty much not allowed by some rules bodies. To get to 2.7, yoiu need to
overbore the motor by .060". That's a pretty big overbore.
So, just because it's doable, doesn't mean that it's practicle for all
applications.
But to get to 220 HP, you've seen by example that it's not exactly cheap.
Regarding the under $2k motor warm overs, yes, you may be making more
power than stock, but you're not making a _lot_ more power than stock. 16
second 1/4 miles times are not indicative of a large power increase. If
you told me that you got into the 14's, then we might be talking...
Ta-ta!
