When I got hooked on the track, after few sessions I got overconfident and pushed the car very hard. Do yourself a favor and don't make the same mistake. It's very hard on a car to flog it on a road coarse and be mindful of the costs and the risk. Have fun, it's a great car!

I can also say that the diff will likey be a bigger issue without a diff cooler. I do have a diff temp gauge with a PP but no cooler. I have a stage 2 Whipple and headers with extra engine cooling and oil cooler and at times the diff temp gets higher than the engine oil temp, and that's not on...

I'm pretty sure the GTD has a 2650 PD blower. I'll speak to what I have: My GT has the pp and the extra cooling. I have the stage 2 Whipple and I have yet to take the car to a road coarse bc I bought drag radials for it and it's gonna be a minute before I buy a 3rd set of wheels and tires...

Hi, yes, the COnti DWS06s have been worlds better than the Pirellis that came with the pp in the wet and bad weather and I would dare say as good or better thaan the Pirellis in dry weather. My experience is in weather that is under 70 degrees and above freezing. I am completely sold on Contis...

The C8 ZR1 is running 1000 whp on pump gas. Totally different deal. This build does show how good the Whipple blowers are and how much power you can gain on E85. Kinda wild. IDK how many times you'd end up rebuilding 10R80s with this kind of power, but it's impressive and I'm curious about crank...

I think the car is making amazing numbers on the dyno and the power curve looks very good. What I'm curious about is the details of built gen 4 5.0 motor. What exactly does that mean? IS that a forged rods and pistons job? And is there a crank support for thst Whipple PD supercharger flogging...

I know a few people who run 1400 WHP TT stock block forged rods and pistons setup - F-150 and Mustang coyote blocks, not sleeved. I've seen centri units at 1400 but never actually seen a positive displacement blower run this high. I'd be worried about the crank and have support. I don't see...

I'm curious what is meant by built gen 4 engine. What was done to it? Rods and pisstons?

When my car was NA and on Conti DW allseasons, the car would chirp 2nd (MT 3.73 gears), but now that it's boosted I have it on Nitto NT555R2 and the car will usually hook from 40 on a good surface if the tires are warm. IF you want streetable drag radials that hook, I recommend the Nittos. They...

My kit cost me $9,999 from Whipple, which was over 11k with tax by the time I was done. I didn't want to install a kit like this for the first time myself on a brand new car, so I payed for that, too. That cost me another 3k.

Okay, so I was doing 60-130 times on a Sunday morning. I was frustrated that I was only hitting 7 second times for my first tries while boosted. I was done and just cruising home. I was doing baby hits and guess what? I let my guard down, next thing I know I see a cop....shit... The cop gets...

I'm trying to get anyone to race me. Finally got the stage 2 Whipple installed now along with the other mods I've had done and new drag radials. The car made 736 on the dyno on pump gas and it feels faster since learning and using octane booster. The only joy I get is when someone tailgates me...

My escort 360 has been a great investment. I am aware of all of the things I need to be aware of and it acts as an added layer of security so that I don't accidently have infractable incidents. Has yet to fail me.

Yes, yes, road pirates are an awful annotance. And then sometimes having the extra warning of red light cameras, speed cameras, and such can help raise awareness of one's surroundings. Always good to be aware, right? :)

That's exactly why people say things like all cops are bad. My experience is usually a respectful trooper will smile at a LADY and take HER information, and explain to HER what the issue is.

The aluminum helps against parasiti drivetrain loss and if you launch the car at this power level, it will eventually preetzel. The aluminum is much stronger and carbon fiber, I hear is a little overkill and bad if it does explode. The aluminum has been good but I've noticced vibration at high...

So far...not a damn thing! The best thing about this kit is that it drives OEM under around 4k RPMs. It's so quiet I can barely hear a little whistle and whoosh. Averaging close to 15 MPG. Honestly, the aluminum one piece driveshaft causes more NVH than the Whipple. This kit is awsome for daily...

Thanks Beefcake. I would have a twin disk clutch for this thing BUT, when I ordered it, after waiting 3 months I cancelled the order. Would have been nice to install that clutch at the same time I had the headers put in. Maybe next time I order a clutch from SOMEONE, I can get that clutch in...

I just got the stage 2 kit installed on my 6 speed and it ran 720 on the 1st pull 736 on the 2nd pull. I also have long tube headers, x pipe, and aluminum one piece DS.

I'll say this once again - and I'm not paid by anyone and have zero bias: I've had Michelin ps4s and I've had continental DW06. The Michelins may allow for slightly better lateral grip on the track. However, those contis are downright impressive and are way better than the pirellis IMO, and...
