I've put 100k on my GTII 7460, I'd say I got my moneys worth.

Get S2's. There are no tuning issue, especially since Aaron tunes your car. If you're not in speed density you need to make that switch anyways.

On E85 they'll give you good power to 7500ish, and over rev to 8000 will be decent, even with a stock turbo.

if you're required to keep the maf for whatever reason, would you still recommend s2's?

I have that combo working great with no mivec and high mileage. I imagine it would be cake with mivec. It's really going to come down to the tuner.

You dont need power for that, you just need over-rev capability.

Yes because any time you gain on that one corner entry still likely results in a net loss because you lose time on every corner exit. Corner exit speed is almost always more important than corner entry speed. Bang the limiter for a second or two, it's not going to hurt anything.

So many threads have gone off-topic LOL
I can't find the one where y'all talked about seat mounts and sliders.
one of mine just stopped latching on one side so I want to replace it. What is a good brand to use? I need it to slide and I need it for my side-mount Sparco seat. I don't mind if it positions the seat a little higher than others as I am pretty short And like to have a clear view over the dash

i posted on that here. bride seems sturdiest, but the buddy club will let you lower the seat. because i've already lowered mine and don't want to go back up, i am getting the latter.

oh FWIW - recaro pole positions, at least in leather + grey suede, have about a 16week lead time due to whatever. went ahead and placed my order/made the deposit on them.

Do we have a trusted/preferred vendor to support, before I just Google it?

i mean in cali i would prob just reach out to evasive? i am ordering from speedfreaks in chicago, that's closest to me. pick up to save on delivery and the timing works to drive up for some events anyway

was referring to seats but it's the same situation for the seat rails - i'm actually going to order from evasive on the buddy clubs.

But have you actually checked if they have in stock? If its drop shipped you wont save on shipping and they're on backorder right now. I've been waiting 2mo for buddyclub sliders.

I have the Bride mount for driver side but like you said it makes the seat too high so its just sitting in the garage now.
