Stock radiator? Suspension tweaks? Any feelings on the rear Stoptechs yet? Transmission and oil coolers? And yeah, lots of videos passing Vettes, Ferraris .... and GTR's please.

Great job you've done; looking forward to hearing your updates. Do you have a list of mods here somewhere that I missed? Your dyno #s are awesome, who's tuning you?

Would be awesome to see this on the drag strip aswell. To see how much the weight loss can improve the times. Someone lend him a CF hood and latch.

Re: Racefire is done...mostly!!

My transmission oil looks new, smells normal and seems happy after all I've put it through. I race in manual mode BTW which I believe creates more heat. I'm racing with the heater on full blast and I still reach around 240º ECT. My IAT's peak around 180º. I'm also curious how low you lowered your car. The picture shows more front to rear rake than mine and my K&W's are as high as they recommend for the perches. The bushings that I've ripped were the front camber and caster. Who tunes your car?

We are running 265/35 19 in the rear and 245/40 18 in the front. Hoosier R6s all the way around. We may jump back down to 18's in the rear and run 275's, we still have some more testing to do.

Looking damn good.

I know R6s have loads of grip, but I am shocked at a 265...

Ok. 265 isnt much but i guess if its road course itll be higher speeds, i run autocross with low speed powering out of a corner we run 285 or 295. Havee you had any issue with the 245/40/18 rubbing?
