I am seriously contemplating the motordyne engineering intake manifold. The initial data seems to indicate good 4-6k rpm gains and not a big peak hp gain which is great for racing / classing. More to come...

Following up on the last discussion... There is zero scoring on my new wheels. So far looks like the brakes clear just fine

Also pleased to report that the brake cooling setup seems to be working well.

And thanks for the kind words on wheels, paint etc! Need to recognize chris soehren of elite auto paint of mesa for doing a world class job!

EDIT... couple more updates...

I lost 1.3 seconds at PIR today... makes sense, I have now +200 pounds ballast (3350 comp weight), stock sway bars, a cracked exhaust, 315 down to 275 rear tires, and am using nittos instead of hoosiers... could have been a lot worse I guess! I was second in class behind an older 911 race car that ran a half second faster. I miss my stillen sway bars the most! Even with 18k/16k springs, the car rolls heavily with the stock sways

Also for those that are doing NASA TT / PT, I have an email into the national classing director about resetting the base class with weight / power... that should establish a min comp weight for a given class at a given WHP... I am targeting TTA base with 320whp dynojet which will allow me to hopefully add back the stickier tires and sways and remove ballast. If I can pull it off, I think I can get 1.5 seconds off
