Today I had track time, shared with race car practice and my car ran spectacular. I set a personal best by 2.5 seconds thanks to the Z214 tires, working meth and extra umph. The second heat the meth malfunctioned from the start so I ran without it. The car ect's and iat's were higher sans meth but within reason. I slowed 1 second without the spray keeping things cool. My prior best was 107.8 and today I ran 105.2. Believe it or not, my IAT's were much cooler today, the only change being reconnecting the cooling and intercooler systems. A little rethinking might be in order for those of us that need 20 minutes or more of WOT over temp resistance. I can't tell you how happy I am. I could feel the extra power at the top of 3rd and in 4th. I really need to get back to the dyno now that I fixed the leaky gaskets. I finished early after brushing some drums and cones, seemed like a good time to pack it in, (no damage) but I couldn't find any peace. Everyone wanted to know WTF I'd done to the car because it was flat out amazing. I even got interviewed track side for television. The car was filthy from the track and they filmed the scuffed side but I was flattered that they couldn't leave without finding out about my car and filming a spot on me and my car. I'm a star like Grip! The ole GoPro just wont film reliably anymore. I've got nothing on the card. The reason I haven't posted many videos. A few pre event photos will follow and perhaps one after battle.

I'm glad to hear your XF is back to kicking *** and taking names. I'm still running the stock heat exchanger, pump, and the system isn't separated. I'll be keeping it that way.

 

I having some forum quirks getting in my way. I hope this works.

 

Some photos taken at the track can be found in the link. I think I'm lifting a wheel in one of them!

Nice Les! and I think you are lifting your wheel in that pic! Hope your GoPro ends up working at some point I really enjoyed your videos.

 

I'm throwing in the towel and getting a new camera for racing. There was some great footage lost this time.
