• We’re using (or, rather, re-using) some project work that the heads’n’cams guy did for Superbikes- variable intake tract depending on load and revs to ensure that we pull through the revs smoothly. ITB’s can have quite a stepped power profile otherwise as they hit and then leave the trumpets resonance points. Language not quite right there but hopefully you get the point!

  • Sounds mega.

    Aside from the itb's that come standard on an m3 (that are fed by one big airbox) I've never experienced itb's on a big engine. A mate had a saxo race car with a high compression engine build on itb's that was an absolute screamer. It may have had that stepped profile you're referring to but tbh I never noticed as it was always in a world of high revs and noise.

    Tldr: when is the next lfgss ring trip?

    We're doing something similar to what BMW did with the M3 - feed the ITB's in a way that doesn't result in the sort of power delivery that this Porsche flat 6 has:
