The spill plates do look big....the fiat is very small. I could of had a few more inches of area but I rounded the corners slightly. The plates are 1/4" thick and figured that if the backs were at 90 deg that it may cause some turbulence.
The car was originally a mid engine.....
It is legal to have hood scoops in the mod sports class and because the car is a rear engine it can extend 11 inches over the top of the roof!!!. I will admit that it is a bit confusing what the difference between a hood scoop and air intake is according to the definitions.
This year with the NA motor my pop is going to run the open record of FMS H, I will be running in GMS H and trying to best 151.
This is really a test year for the car to see if it how it does at speed. Next year with the blower motor (in the 5-6 hundred HP range) I am looking to best BGMS H record of 205. My pop will run the BFMS H and that is open as well.
I thought there was something in there about mid/rear engines, but with a quick look I couldn't find it and was too lazy to look further.
At El Mirage the Noonan/Moreland or Moreland/Noonan "H" rear engine modified roadster ran a 167 (If I remember right) with a NA Busa
. The car has more in it........they were chasing points
. The engine is a strong NA Busa.
I think your goals are realistic, good luck,
