I know you are probably joking, but the GT3RS is one of the best track cars ever developed by any company anywhere in the world. It is way out of my budget, but if I was a ultra-wealthy, I would probably own one.

Ok, so nobody got the joke. I think smurfslayer was referring to Rome and Athens, cities in Georgia, where I live. I have driven in Italy, though.

Are you camping or just parked next to a camper?

On a cold day, a 2 psi increase in my PS4S tires tells me grip will be about normal even on cold asphalt.

Or worse life choices! This is the most expensive car I have ever purchased in my life. I could have purchased a $5k beater and invested the rest! LOL! 🤣

I found this discussion (2jz forum) where an engine builder is mentioning that you can tighten the ring gap a little using E85, but it depends upon boost and power level, as more power = more heat...

The most reliable coolant temp reduction from E85 on track I could find was one poster who stated 3° C (going off memory, so I could be wrong). Mainly I found lots of speculation, and, like you said, coolant temps just cruising around on the street, which is not particularly relevant to...

I also found a track guy over at TrackMustangs running turbos and seemingly solved the heat issues. I am going to ask him some, but his car is a full on trailered track car with lots and lots of mods, so I am not sure how much information can be useful to my more stock application. There is...

True, but the heat in the chamber and cylinder wall and rings will continue to build over that 20 minutes. It just is not the same as drag racing. E85 will limit the heat build up on the rings. Lower boost will also limit the heat build up (a sort of obvious statement, but, well, there it...

I have driven in Italy, but never in Greece, so I will have to take your word for it. Generally speaking, in Europe drivers try to get out of the way of faster drivers, especially in German, where I lived for two years. It sort of spoiled me and perhaps drives me a little more crazy in the USA...

I do not yet know how low. I am trying to learn from folks who actually know, what is possible? The idea, however, is to have a system that I can adjust, and maybe use a low boost for HPDE track days (5 psi?) and turn it up for other things (like making a grocery run :giggle: ). I don't want to...

Excellent post.

:idea: Papo, get out of the left lane. Problem solved. :like: Stated simply, stay out of the left lane, unless you are actively passing somebody to the right. Drive to the right. Pass to the left. :facepalm: I know you will be tempted to post excuses for each of these two situations I...

This is with headers and a flex fuel calibration. Check out the video and watch where on the tachometer the car is shifting!

Also, the turbo is small. This is typical in OEM installations, as the factory does not like to have any turbo lag. A smaller turbo is better for driving around town. What happens in a performance application, however, with a small turbo is that you run out of breath up at the top of the rpm...

Are there improvements to be made in the charge piping or the down pipes?

What about cooling modifications (Dark Horse radiator and better aftermarket intercooler)? Oil cooler? Camber plates? Adjustable rear camber bars? Bigger wheels with stickier tires? Driver mod - seat time on HPDE track days? Maybe a custom tune?

All of my searching on the internet reveals only information about how to turn the boost up, more boost, more power! Which is great and all, but I want to know, can I turn the boost down? The answer is yes, but how far? Can I, without too much effort, max out at 3, 4, or 5 pounds of boost...

The question is in the title.
