What was your best mod?

So far the Z1 34 Row oil cooler. All I can say it WOW. Steady 160 oil temps now at normal driving.

It was worth fighting with the wife when she saw the bill lol.

Without the oil cooler I can't enjoy the car long. The sound of the exhaust and intakes happily reminds me I've modded with every gear change. The coil overs got rid of the body roll in a turn. They are all my favorites.

Oil cooler wins as I like driving all the way home without limp mode, so all the rest of the mod's are useless at this point.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned tires...

My best mod was sticky 305's in the rear.

Ya know, I didn't think of that but this is a valid point. I didn't realize just how bad the stock tire were until I got the V12 on the back. Not to mention that they make the VDC less obnoxious!!!

I couldn't justify replacing them until they were toast though. I guess that is why I didn't think of them as a "mod".

I think the oil needs to reach 180 to burn off deposits. You are running too cold and should install a thermostat. You're probably doing more harm than good lol
