Anyone have any ITS results showing how the 944S is doing? I've heard there are some running in the Northeast.

It will still be hard to beat the RX7's in the SE region of SCCA since this has to be the most competitive area in the U.S. There has been a lot of development done on those cars and we have a lot of work to do to catch up.

Of course 200+ is possible. The car came with 189 h.p. or so stock.

The factory quote is 189, at the crank. The E36s are putting 217 down
IMO BMW under rated the HP, maybe for insurance reasons.
I agree Jake, the E36 hit the jackpot when classed. Could have been Leithauser was still at SCCA and he and/or Kline helped the effort.(no slam intended)
Breathing and ECU may have helped but just like money talks and BS walks--Torque talks.
My guess is it's the torque not HP numbers that would astound us.

Andy #2,
Back several weeks ago when we were discussing the E36, James Clay said that they had gotten quite a bit of power out of the ECU mods. Seems like 250 - 265 CHP is right about where they're landing.

The key to the hp in these cars (in IT form) is the extensive ECU tuning that can be done. Gut the factory ECU housing, throw in a MOTEC and you have a real HP bump in some cars - THESE CARS.

I would expect that the output quoted would include all engine development work, not just slap a chip in it and go racing.

As far as an OEM leaving that much on the table, of course! Not all cars are Porsches.

Compare with a Hword - numerous horsies just slapping an intake and an exhaust on them. You know as well as I do that the same mods will do virtually nothing for a P-car.

Take into account an overbore, compression, balancing, etc., completely blueprinted omney-no-object, it's not quite that out of hand to see an engine gain power like that. What percentage gain is that? I don't know the stock output #'s of the BMW. I do know that I _should_ be able to gain roughly 20-30% output in my motor in IT-legal trim if properly built.
