Congrats! I remember this one. The car ran strong and very smooth. Enjoy and please let us know if there is anything that we can help you with in the future!!

The difference between our Stage 2 and 3 systems is that Stage 3 offers a compressor bypass valve, TPC Racing race headers, boost controller and our TPC Racing Blitzkrieg tuning. When this particular car was being built, the client went over the options and we had a ball bearing turbo in stock and knew that it would help in order to achieve the power figures that the client was looking to achieve.

Sebring is fantastic & worth the trip. Its a 3.7 mile track & the long back straight will let you stretch its legs with that much power. Gainesville raceway has a road course; another small one in Keystone Hts between Gainesville & Jax called The FIRM, its like a very big autocross course & leaves no time for daydreaming. Several events at Daytona each year; Roebling Rd just west of Savannah is a popular PCA track & fun, at least 3 PA Chpts go there regularly. Road Atlanta & Atlanta Motorsport Park are popular too. Where ever you take it would be a blast with that much HP in a great handling, mid engined Cayman; But you better leave the "Nanny" switched on until you learn it well! I imagine it could get away from you quickly with almost 500 hp!!

Awesome! Definitely some great suggestions!!! and all within 1 day of travel time! I just had a custom car trailer built to fit in my garage, so I wont have to drive it to events. Now, I just need some practice, patience and a few pointers, and I will be all set! oh, I also have the TPC stg 1 suspension installed.

Get a deep sump oil pan kit if you're going to track a .1 car to help prevent oil starvation.

Hopefully you received documentation for all this work that was performed, but judging by the pic above it looks like there is a spacer on the oil sump.

A closer look at the photo does appear that it has a deep sump spacer. Sorry I didn't that from the small screen of my phone.
