COBB Tuning Blog on LIC Motorsports
A brand-new motor, a rain-slick track, and rivals running quicker lap times are not the best elements to make for a successful racing weekend. The LIC Motorsports and their Subaru STi were facing an uphill battle for Global Time Attack’s 2011 Finals at Infineon Raceway, but with the hard work of the LIC Motorsports crew, and some help from COBB Tuning’s Gary Sheehan and Tim Bailey, everything came together perfectly. Not only did LIC Motorsports take home 1st Place, but they set a new class record utilizing an impressive chassis and AccessPORT Alpha Speed Density Tuning.
Adam and Noah Levy of LIC Motorsports needed a motor to match the chassis development from the previous seasons of racing. The motor build was completed using a sleeved block, pistons, bearings, a GTX turbo, and a higher capacity oil pan. LIC Motorsports also decided to eliminate the BPV to increase turbo and throttle input response. Everything was buttoned up only 10 hours before hitting the track.

oh and you get to hear a lot more noises in this video b/c we were also running a muffler for Infineon (stupid 103db limit) which made for some nice quiet non blaring exhaust overtaking the video audio.
In fact, we actually got black flagged when we were sorting out our flat foot shifting on Saturday (even with the muffler on). Its crazy b/c we had the quietest car on the track that day too...just needed to lift in certain areas and limit FFS in certain spots.
