Got a little power out of her.

That's about 500hp too little. Time for the TURBOS!

Wow... that's not much for cams and an intake. Certainly less than I'd have expected. What sort of ECU are you running?

Actually the cams picked up 14whp.




The dynosheet i just posted was going from the stock GSR intake manifold to a Skunk2 intake manifold.

Stock TB, Skunk2 unported IM, 0 head work done and a 2.5" exhaust.

I tested out some GSC N1 camshafts:

Numbers look really good! Stock bottom end, unported head.

Aren't those pretty mild cams? Similar to CTR/ITR?

Did you try messing with different intakes? Wondering if a longer 3" tube w/ v-stack would bump up your numbers

Ahhhhh... That makes more sense! Thanks for clarifying.

BTW, do you know (or did you already mention) if those cams are STL legal?

Yeah makes a little more sense now huh lol. I thought for the mods the car has the power isn't that bad at all. In fact i think it is doing pretty good.

If the cam spec sheet is right then yes the max lift on these cams is STL legal

They are slightly bigger than an ITR/CTR cam. So for a bolt in cam, i feel like they did pretty damn good lol.

I did not mess with intake size, i should have and i think i might later on. i am pretty sure it will pick up a little bit of power with a velocity stack on it.

very nice build!

Are transmission upgrades such as a final drive and more aggressive LSD permitted?

I'm sorry if I missed whether or not the car already has these mods done.

So i went back to the Ridge Motorsports today with the car. It was a very successful day of working with the car.

I did some font and rear Camber adjustments yesterday before i went out today. i also put the toe back to 1/16th out up front.

I also did a bunch of tire pressure measurements and tire temperatures. To my surprise it looks like i need more camber front and rear...

Inside front tire temps: 135
Middle Front tire temp: 142
Outside Front tire temp: 145

Inside rear tire temps: 115
Middle rear tire temp: 121
Outside rear tire temp: 125

It was also a hot day, i started the rear tire pressure at 28psi and it was 34psi after. Fronts i started out at 27 and they made it up to 38psi on one session.

That being said my previous best time on this track was a 2:05.3...

Here are 2 of my sessions:





Went from a 2:05.3 to a 2:01.95 .

I am still on some old warn out 205/50/15 RA1's but they seem to be doing ok right now!

Does anybody have any recommendations on Wing's? Mugen, APR, Mugen Replica,. ITR?


I kinda feel like for the money might as well get an ITR wing
