Default What do you want to see from Katech in 2011?

Katech is starting off 2011 with a bang. We have three new race programs - two Cadillac CTS-V coupes in World Challenge, 3 Camaro GT.Rs in Rolex Grand-Am, and a third race program which I can't disclose yet. We're taking a hard look at what works, what's out there, and what we want to do in the future. We want to hear from you. What do you want to see from Katech in 2011? What parts, engine packages and vehicle packages? (Please don't say more supportive seats, that's what Caravaggio is for).

Before you answer consider this. There is a lot out there. There are a lot of choices for head/cam packages, crate engines, etc. What makes Katech different? The answer is we have a vast amount of equipment and expertise found nowhere else. We can put these resources to use and deliver products that offer a high level of reliability and confidence. We have the ability to engineer your wildest dreams, but we all know that comes at a cost.

So, we want to hear from you. We want to know what you plan on buying the future and what fits in your budget. We also what to know about your wildest dreams. What would you build on your budget, and what would you build on an unlimited budget? What is the market lacking, and how can Katech use it's resources to bring our vast racing knowledge to you?

I'm surprised the ST2 guys didn't immediately ask for a motor making 350hp/800tq. :-)

An easy way to eliminate the TPMS system for a C6 would be nice. No sensors in a tube, no driving around for 20 minutes, just a reliable fix that fakes the system out so it doesn't go into limp mode.

Electronics are not our specialty. I'm more interested in hearing about what kind of engine parts, aero, or other racing parts you guys are interested in.

Engine parts:

* 243 labeled heads, that flow like all get out, and cam to match.

* a NASA ST2 crate motor. ( LS6 or LS2 block ) 380-385 RWHP ( ~ 440 bhp) and as much torque as possible yet reliable, realistically speaking.
Dry sump option.

* a great Throttle Body: Does not have to be giant size, but perfectly matched for the LS6 and Fast 90 or 92 intakes.

* an intake that does not interfere with an extractor hood or vise verse the extractor hood that works around the intake tube.

* remote Clutch bleeder valve

Body Parts.

* C5 aero parts: splitters, side skirts, extractor hoods, rear facia with spoiler or bolt-on rear spoiler.

* A wing.

* rear diffuser, that goes under the car, yet allows straight pipes out the back.

* a CRASH BOX like the C5R and C6R have to be bolted to the NASCAR DOOR Bars.



I will think of a few more.
