Taka:

I disagree with you on your Distributor comments....
Look at the engine in the Talladega 5kqt..

Look at one of the IMSA motors:

I see plug wires and a distributor, on an engine detuned to about 650hp....
They evidently did not have an issue running a distributor at over 300 hp.

Of course, I can't see if they are running the 1991 200 20v motronic ECU....
That's probably the main difference

...different engine management system
;^)
