That's a great power to weight! I'm just a bolt on LS1 car but I've got 245 square A052's on my HPDE car and they hook up great for the track. I'm Probably 150hp and 50ftlbs less but you should still have reasonable traction on a 245

Can you post of photo of the 245 square setup? 16s or 17s?
My fronts are a challenge as my front track width is about 15mm wider per side.

Me + Full Tank + Full Interior =


Spins 4th no problem.
I'll be upgrading wheels this winter to try and fit 245s.

Nice, that is a lot of power. Power to weight ratio has to be on par with a C6 Z06, assuming the car weighs close to 3,000lbs. How's the traction?

Good to know. At some point in the future I will be seeking more room behind the valance, since my massive intercooler makes it impossible to run a condenser fan with the stock, cut up, valance. I love the look of the Alpina valances and would not be opposed to trimming a reproduction and putting it on my car.

[e30mclow]

Is there more room behind that valance than the stock 'is' one?

I can fit the Alpina valance with the iS valance still attached behind it. This hangs about 2" lower.
An unforgiving bastard to fit through, as there is zero flex to the Alpina items.

valance looks great man! on your gta wheels, did it cost you much to machine out the hub bore? I've been looking for some cheap 16x8+0's.

My man, all I did was stick a 40 grit flap wheel on the end of a DeWalt drill and have at her.
It self-centers as it rotates and you're only taking off less than a mm.

No balancing issues.

More Alpina stuff - may need sideskirts.






Can't wait to put the GTAs back on this week.

Also, some highly articulated suspension shots from Sunday (pre-Alpina)

Too cool sir! Any HP figures?

I should have it on a dyno very soon.

Meanwhile, I finally put on the Alpina 162 valance
