What are you running for headers and exhaust?

GT4 = (OLD Mod used on new build) - Fabspeed Catted Headers and Valved Exhaust

GT3 = Center Bypass

GT4 is changing to race headers and exhaust though here soon.

Awesome! Then again, price wise it must be in the same territory by now also?

What about lap time wise? I would think the GT4 would be quicker with all those mods.

Price wise, yeh they be close for sure. I prefer the GT4 package though on track, I like the smaller car for some reason.

I have no comparison lap times at this point.

Really interesting head work. Did you go for lighter and/or bigger valves on the X51 heads? Cams are X51 or something else is now available?
Pretty sure you will have a blast with his beast....enjoy!
It's only a matter of time before you send us this car or whatever you get next! Give in to the temptation.

Now that i have overlaid the dyno charts i am confident that if we could spin the motor that high we could equal or surpass it. The problem is that we don't even have the ECU architecture to do it. We would have to physically remove the rev limiter and i don't have the cojones to do that!

Yes it's real and no I did not. I believe this issue is a bit over played.

Ah, you need race headers and a race/GT3 exhaust, really makes a difference for the mid range and too end! On my 4l x51 with race headers even just changing exhausts makes a seat of the pants difference.

Which one? Cojones? You can always use "bolas" or "huevos", but since you are in Florida "cojones" is more appropriate.

Little update. I have since upgraded suspension to the JRZ RS Pro 2 ways (672lb front spring, 840lb rear springs) and also changed headers to cargraphic race headers and race exhaust.

Season is over for now. Off to next year.

Couple shots from Road America and M1 in Detroit below.

Lap time at Road America on 285 Rear / 255 Front RE71R was 2:27.771

VIDEO of it screaming down into turn 5 ->

Great car. Do you have a start-up or idling video? GLWS.
