truegearhead Registered User Join Date: Jul 2011 Location: Richmond, VA (The Fan) Posts: 978	NASA TT4 prep. Estimates of current hp needed I'm trying to fit my car into a NASA TT class. I'm trying to estimate my power to weight. I'm currently running headers, cat deletes, aftermarket pipes, and an underdrive pulley. Is anyone running a similar setup? Any ideas what kind of wheel hp I can expect? __________________ 1997 Boxster 4.2L Audi V8 Bi-Turbo 2003 911 C2 NASA HPDE Instructor

If its a 97-99 2.5L engine, then I'd think that you should see around 190-195hp at the rear wheels. __________________ 1999 996 C2 - sold - bought back - sold for more 1997 Spec Boxster BSR #254 1979 911 SC POC Licensed DE/TT Instructor

Aren't you going to have to get a dyno test to turn in on your book?

Sure am, I'm trying to see how close I'll be though before I pull anymore weight. It seems like the Boxster is a pretty good TT4 fit.
