For whatever little it may be worth I use a MB grease that was recommended to me by the local service manager of MB many years ago who was a good friend of mine. It is available in a sensible sized tube for modest bucks and seems to work really well in my environment but then your use is a whole different world I suspect.

lets see how Dan runs at the POC race later this summer. i bet he gets in the 1:28s, so your right , i think he was not pushing. the other cars are spec TA2 (transam 2) and are pretty heavy and only have 450ish HP, while the bmws handle great and are pretty light, but only 380-400rwhp. (running in the 1:34s which is still pretty fast . my best was 1:36.1 back 10 years ago, but if i wasnt chasing my tail with the brake pad push back issue and the distraction of that howling, i think i could have gotten close to 1:36. the track was nice . but not a huge difference vs before. One of the local top porsche series drivers said that the track was about the same , because it doesnt have any rubber on it yet.. also, interesting how clean the tires are after the race, no pickup at all. NONE. wierd.

Here is the rear view cam footage, along with a few short clips from the stands and corkscrew and a clip for greg brown to assure we peg that rev limiter a few times a race

Otherwise love the videos and all of your "kills". Especially love the corkscrew - never get tired of that. We have a mini version of it here at Pitt Race, and it's a blast to drive.

Well, the howling vibration and noise is gone.... replaced the inner and outer bearings with bearings sent to me by 928 INTL . (thanks Mark) relief to get that problem out of the way, and hoping it helps with the pad knock back issues. probably should change the other side tomorrow... ill see if i have time.
Race coming up this week at Thunderhill, and its kind of a World Challenge re-union.

Mark I remember your intake thread...
Have you considered installing ITB's? You would easily get 500+ rwhp with that Green Bay engine and still be reliable.
Also, the power will be higher-up the RPM range so it's easier on the drivetrain vs a stroker with the stock intake which produces all that not-so-usable low-end torque on the track.

Todd popped in and I showed him this thread (he doesn't really log onto Rennlist anymore). He's gets so excited with these race updates it's like watching a proud father see his child graduate from college or something.
I think you should look into having your car transported here for the big vintage race in July. It's quite an event.
