Default A Hot lap at Watkins Glen

In his ever diligent effort to make the rest of us FFRC drivers look bad, here is JG putting down a blistering 2:01.1 lap at Watkins Glen.

Incar video: https://vimeo.com/50613922

(last lap is 2:01)


I didn't put this in the Lap Times thread because it isn't a Z car.

WOW! Thats a lot of power for that car. I thought the FFR's came with 5.0s (the old ons') making 24hp/300tq?

It is still running the old 5.0. The difference is it is running Trick-flow twisted wedge 180 heads and a cam. It really has no effect on torque, but unlike the stock 5.0 heads, it continues to make power after 4200 RPM. So all the power is basically keeping the engine breathing until 6200 RPM. Combined with new injectors thats all the updates done.

I am about to order my package. Being at 218 WHP kind of sucks when all the 2012 FFRC cars are 320-340 WHP.
