Ineffective at more that 30-40 mph. In fact, it actually gets in the way at speed, as the fan and shroud block air from moving through the rear face of the radiator and out the hood vents. Fan and shroud are great for sitting in traffic. Thank you for providing that link. I bookmarked it...

Ah, I see. The Turbo S runs a 9.9 at 138.9 😲

Did you put on a spare or use that filling kit?

Can this controller make it more instant without making it more linear? In other words get rid of any delay, but keep the sensitivity the same, so how linear remains as it was designed?

This is not in the movie. They replaced this legal trouble with the father in law accusing the main character (well, the main human character) of battery for pushing him down. It was fine for kids, 9 and 12, although they found it sad.

That's pretty good.

So is 500 at the wheels on an S650 realistic, using SAE, not STD, with these few mods?

What does the controller actually do ?

It ran 11.2 in this video. Did you watch it? Dusty track with no preparation, akin to trying to nail a launch on the street from a standing start. The 911 Carerra S does this very well. The Mustang does not. You cannot compare anybody's drag strip time with slicks on a prepared launch pad...

I did not realize that there would be a lot of white collar workers in Germany who could afford a 911 Carrerra S turbo.

And I am not offended at all. Apologies if I gave that impression.

No shot at me - I was looking at Corvettes when my wife said, "You need a back seat," two kids at home, and, well, here I am! 🤣

Are you talking about the 9.5 and 10 wheels that your car came with? Is there some reason you are stuck with 10" wheels? Is this your first time doing an HPDE day? If so, I would not worry about it much. Just go with whatever. I mean there are probably going to be people there driving...

I don't have a "laundry list." I have one use for it. One task. That's it. HPDE is (usually) 30 minute sessions. Show me a car that is forced induction (centrifugal, turbo, or positive displacement, I do not care which) that can complete 30 minute sessions on track, and I will be happy to...

Well, Steeda is selling the Cobra Jet intake with the Boschma adapter for the dual throttle bodies, and GSC camshafts. The R2 camshaft will allow you to keep the VCT, but you need a tuner who can work with after market cams. The R3 requires the VCT to be locked. Steeda also used 2" headers on...

It's just physics. You are pushing 12 psi into an engine that was originally 486 hp before you ever touched it. It has 12:1 compression. What is that going to be? 780 hp? 300 or more extra horsepower to cool. That is a lot of heat to somehow transfer to the coolant and then transfer it...

Fans are just in the way on a road race course, due to the speeds involved. In fact, the Dark Horse R GT4 cars, if you look at the allowed list of mods, they do not allow removal of the fan and shroud, but the teams can drill a bunch of large holes in the shroud to permit better airflow through...

Now if somebody could just figure out a way to keep these cars cool with boost running for 20-30 minutes at a time, I would have already added some sort of forced induction to mine. But, well, I don't want to never be able to do what I am doing in my avatar.

Looks like fun.
