I’m in the process of updating the suspension. My question is how big and what’s the max power I can get out 3.0 and what parts I need to get? Thank you in advance
"What's the max horse power" is simply a question of budget.
"Track car" is a term with unlimited variables.
Is this a limited budget build or are you prepared to go hog wild....?
of course somewhere in between is the norm but it will likely cost more than you might be thinking.
Are there regulations affecting your build or is it completely open?
Is there a size limitation?
Will it run on race fuel or street gas?
If your goal is horse power you should consider the tyres you plan to run and how you plan to stop this monster?
Too much horse power will over power the tyres and make braking a nightmare.
A track car like any other performance project is a symbiotic relationship....all parts have to correlate with the others.
