I wouldn't say it has no purpose. You address the issues you see beforehand and then you don't have to change as much once you hit the track. This car will see track time soon enough.

i think i know a little more about tracking than you do buddy. You test the car first and then make changes. don't get me wrong the car look amazing, but when you announce you built a track car etc etc. It have been years and all we see is this car getting replacement parts. I guess parts get wear out quick when the car just sitting

if youre going to be offensive, i would have to say we know quite a bit more than you

We are changing inefficiencies in the setup that we arent happy with... a car thats pulling timing due to overly high inlet air temps isnt good.... a turbo kit that cant be taken off in the event of a mechanical issue isnt efficient... aka a track day wasted...

Im pretty sure BRAWN GP did their homework before hitting the track this year....

we are in no rush to hit the track.... we have customer cars to build everyday.... we will be there soon... in about 2 weeks...

having the aero completed is important... so we can do mechanical grip testing, then aero testing, etc

regardless... thanks for checking in on our thread

So if you see foreseeable problems before you hit the track you don't change them? Nice philosophy Your superior knowledge about tracking only goes so far when you have a lack of common sense.

You guys have been busy! And you're making great progress. The new turbo kit is nice and clean, I like it - those Tial V-band housings are sweet.

I like the new intercooler; I always thought the vertical was novel, but kinda small in size. It's cool to see people working out of the box and testing. You tried something unique with the vertical flow IC, found it wasn't optimal, maybe did some swearing, and went back to the drawing board with some lessons learned. The latest stuff looks great and still uses a "novel" short route approach. Very nice.

I'll be in touch about the TAK 33R, should be ripping into my car tomorrow to figure out what's up.

Thanks JD-

we are excited to build you a turbo so let us know..

like i said, mark and i got a little over ambitious with the vertical fmic on the car... we had some theories that made sense, but didnt work in real world application (as it happens very often lol)..

now it should free up some lost power and gain some efficiency, allowing everything to breathe easier..

we may lose a little transient response over the TS setup, but i think we will pick up some power to compensate..

we definetly dont need more than 500whp on our dyno for what we want the car to do!

cheers
