Funny, I was in the shop probably same time you met with Randy to do the install. i see you car there every so often. Nice by the way!
Thanks for the comments, yellow belts arer to match the PCCB's. The rear wing is a bit extreme, but hell, only do this once! Love the PSE sounds!
See you in Danbury again!

I red lined it in the first 100 miles [once] and have driving it like I stole it from the start. I drove it very hard yesterday hitting over 4200 very regularly.
Lets see if I run into any issues or not.

Uh oh, here we go again.
I think the key is nice long drives, keep it sane until the car is plenty warm, vary the tach, try not to hit the limiter (kind of ever) and move through the gears nice and smooth.
Enjoy, she's beautiful!

they wouldnt have put the limiter past the point that would cause engine damage.(after break-in

You know, I can't even see a NEED for 6000 rpm and above much because this thing drives so well in the 4-5000 range! But then,--might as well use the FULL potential! Years ago the 911s came on the cam at 4000 and screamed on through to 7000 quite easily. Now, with the amount of torque the thing produces even at 3000 it is amazing!

I cant find it and have been doing searches all morning.

Do a long haul, continuous run for break-in, you'll be glad you did!!!
Post observations of how easy or difficult it is to drive around with the Aero kit.
