yea you would get more bang for your buck, but i would run into the weight issue. the reason is in the prepared and modified class your minimum weight goes up with displacement.

this is what i am thing i am going to try and acomplish in the build tell me what u think:aigo:
I have chosen an 86.5 Toyota Supra to build as a
dedicated race car, and i am in the process of stripping
it down to start my build up.
Hear are my current plans:
Step 1: gutting the car including doors, hatch, all under
the dash components, the dash itself, all interior
panels, sound deading, removing door glass completely
then replacing the rest of the glass with regulation
thickness lexan, and all other flammable or unnecessary components.
Step 2: Fully caging the car, building a sheet metal dash
and center console, putting a fuel cell and battery in
the rear hatch (this section of the car will be isolated
from the rest of the car)
Step 3(electronics): i will be wiring all nessessary
electronic hardware such as lights, gauges, ecu, fans,
ect. to a dividable fuse block so they can be turned on
via switches by the driver. i would like to run some kind
of data loging device would like some input on if the is
allowed or not i have not made it all the way threw the
rule book yet.
Step 4(chassis): i will be reinforcing the subframs some
how i have not quite got that figured out. for safety i
will be putting scatter shields where ever is necessary.
i have not compeltly figured this section the build out
yet any comments or input would be greatly appreciated.
Step 5(drive line): I will be doing the 1uzfe swap in
this car and for those of you that don't know this is the
4.0L lexus v8 with some basic bolt ons such as headers,
exhaust this will depend on my class, port and polished
stock heads, port and polished intake manifold, cams, possibly a valve train later down the road, will maintain
stock bottom end with no power adders. i will be running
the engine with stock ecu at first then an AEM EMS down
the road sometime. for the trans it will probobly be the
w58 out of a NA supra, driveshaft will be a custom 1
peice. i will maintain the stock rear end seeing that its
and LSD and axles.
Step 6(brakes and suspension): in my experience in racing
this is the part that can get tricky real quick if you
are not careful, but i think i have it figured out. i
will probably run a set of afco nitrogen coilovers that
we have laying around the shop, larger sway bar probably
27-30mm with aftermarket end links, front and rear camber
kit, toe kit front and rear, custom upper a arms, have
not figured out lower control arms, rear traction arms,
solid subframe mounts, and then a full poly bushing kit.
for brakes i will probly run stock calipers with EBC
drilled and slotted rotors and EBC blue stuff pads.
this is the basics of the setup i will be running, but
trust me this will not be a very easy build its going to
require a lot of custom parts.
