Saw your post about the car.. Not sure what this noise is.. I know you might not have a good way to record it.

The only modern Porsche I'd be interested in is the GT4.. That is a sharp looking car - under-powered, but still cool.

Maybe the issue with the Z is simple.. But I get it , at the mileage you are at, you are at the point of replacing other stuff, and if you have the $$, then it makes sense to move on. -ds-

Yes you can do a 1:39 at barbar...just a little practice is needed is all

1:41 is a decent time! Couldn't use much power though, especially on the continuous turns?
Barbar eats tires lol
Dec ...sweet! I can wish.... No tires, no suspension, no brakes no way....maybe I can spectate?

and I just signed up for Barber (Santa Run) on Dec. 18th - 5 x 20 min sessions for 200 bux - can't beat it! Sign up before it's too late. -ds-

Well, I wouldn't say 8/10's.. LoL - I dipped into the 1:41's, and that's on Cup2's with 4 track days on them - Randy Probst only did a :36. If my firggin' 2nd to 3rd gear up-shifts would cooperate, I feel like I can get into the 39's with a bit more effort on my part.

Still all stock suspension (no coil-overs yet).

This is with my 0w-40 and 15w-50 M1 50/50 mix.

I did find a good dyno (if you need one) - it's a private shop, a Dynojet with an eddy current brake! -ds-

Interesting, sounds similar to what GM is doing with the 2017 C7 Z06's..

I would say that (for example) at maximum effort yesterday at Barber MP, my oil temps settled at < 250 (or < 260 depending on which source you believe), trans temps following in-line, but water was still around 205.

I know it's a bit ironic, but (for me) if I was looking for anything, it would be a trans cooler closely followed by an engine oil cooler (which as I recall you've deleted your air to oil version).

But then again I already have the larger ZR1 radiator stock in my car, so that skews my view a bit.

Did you see the response to your IM's about the MSD intake? I posted them on my visitor page (I guess), same page as you posted to me. Maybe I need to take those down and we can just trade emails..

These cars are a blend of SD and MAF (and I would fire any tuner that turns off SD on your car - the Vengeance guy is known for turning off SD - just sloppy and lazy to do that). You can do all the low speed / non-PE (Power Enrichment) tuning based on ST and LT fuel Trims.. Remind me of your mods again - as I recall, you really didn't do anything significant (yet), so at this point, you shouldn't need to mess with it (unless you are after "free" HP, a.k.a. leaning out the factory tune) - I can say I am against that in principle.. I like to make the air pump more efficient, then simply tune the car to the same approx. A/F the factory used (only now with more air flowing through, hence more HP and Tq).

Good deal! Sounds like it is coming along great!

Bingo ... Ordering same... It was crazy.
Hope we meet up sometime
