The good engine builders can get a lot of power out of a 3.0, the chassis is 110 pounds lighter than the near-identical early Carrera (915 box), tires and wheels the same. PLUS you can slot the suspension and run huge brakes, a 3.8 RSR wing, crank trigger and a different R&P.

Hold on John. As I understand the rules, you are not allowed to touch ANY of the engine internals and remain in stock. Only induction and exhaust. Now I know you can knife edge the crank and moon the cylinders, port and polish, shuffle pin, reduce deck height to aid compression and all that kind of stuff but that is cheating. I've heard of guys spending $20k on their 3.0 G-Class engines. Really? What kind of rebuild are you talking about for $20k? Certainly one that involves cheating or one that's done at Bruce Anderson rates?
The SC that Joe is referring to (and he is much more efficient at mining this stuff than any of us
) is the Euro SC or Prepared US SC which seems to be the right car for the class.
