Dave, I agree with the poster above.

The competitive limitation of "straight-body" longhoods is not power, it's tire size. A longhood 911S has less torque than an SC and the max tire size is 225, compared to 245/275 for the SC.

Therefore, if you want to campaign an unflared longhood, the place to do it is in H-Stock. That would mean a 2,4 E motor, which would have plenty of torque.

Once you flare, you can do the whole RS touring/Lightweight thing, but that bumps you up a couple classes, where you are competing with 964's.

Advice: don't cut the longhood: build a 2.4 MFI E, reinstall S brakes. . . and then never hit them.
