Anyone here following the SCCA 600cc Developments in F500

was not aware of this but sounds like a great idea. I'd love to drive a GSXR equipped F-500! what will your hp:weight be when your conversion is done?

The HP to weight is still up in the air a bit as we will be handicapped the first year or two to make sure we aren't faster than existing top national F500 cars until we get some track data and dyno runs completed. That being said, it will be much easier to make a 600cc car as fast if not faster than most regional F500's as the learning curve on tuning the two stroke and the CVT is pretty steep to try and get that last 10%. EFI and a sequential gearbox takes out the learning curve. We will have to run individual inlet restrictors, but the HP number has not been decided. Initial minimum weight at the end of a race has been set at 850 lbs with driver. I'm investigating the costs involved with putting my '09 engine on a dyno to help with the proposal to the board for approval. Stock 600cc engines are putting out around 110-115 hp at the tranny output shaft so that works out to between 7.3 to 7.7 lbs/HP. :coolnana:

Have to keep my eyes in my mirrors more in my Vee now. Still got you in the turns though.
