Yeah it's E85. The torque is a dead giveaway. But with pump gas and the stroker when it's all said and done you're going to be able to get above 350WHP, significantly above 350, which is fantastic for the TVS, and it'll be safe.

I stand corrected. I'll stop listening to the source who told me that.

Well I think that's a very safe ask at this point.

Mine was "a couple of weeks" away, 4 months ago.
Also... from my experience, I highly recommend you run the stroker for a bit before the TVS goes on... because you need to learn a very different degree of throttle control with the stroker. And the TVS will kill you and your car if you haven't learned to respect the car in a totally different way than you do now... -
If you don't want hot off the press info I can keep it to myself....:devil: -

Today, picked up a new front bumper cover, dropped that and a new grille surround ring at the painter. Will install all that after next track days in a couple of weeks.
Stopped by the exhaust shop and talked with the man about rebuilding my Milltek rear section, that was mangled in the crash. Cans and hangars are OK, but the pipe isn't. He's ordering pipe and will probably work on it next week or the week after.
Received latches I plan to use on the front panel of the bikini top.
Waiting on some more hardware that should be here tomorrow. May make a lot of progress on the prototype this weekend...
Received more compact, paddock-friendly jack stands for the track box.
My Scangauge II developed a defect in the display, after 8 years. I opened it up and determined that the display is easily replaceable. Contacted LinearLogic and asked if I could buy a replacement display to fix it, since it was 5 years out of the 3 year warranty. "Oh no, just send it to us and we'll repair it"... Really?
So I put it in a box and sent it, priority mail, across the country. Exactly 7 days after I sent it, this arrived via priority mail:
Replaced display, front case shell (because a couple of the screws were stripped, AND upgraded to current firmware. And included a new manual and quick-start guide to match the new firmware. So it's like having a brand new unit. FREE. Did I mention, it's 5 years out of warranty? Yeah.
GREAT customer service. -

Have you thought about putting pneumatic jacks on each corner like the Mini challenge cars?

It's interesting where they put them, not at the corners, and not at the jack points. Because, balance.
I opted to make it easier to hit the jack points, got tired of having to look under the car to be sure every time, and still almost missing them...
These and a couple of VIR track outlines are the only non-OEM vinyl on my car.
