...that's what I'm not understanding. If I go FI it's going to be for the track, and if I have to mod the pants off of my car to do it I'm getting rid of it and getting a used GT3 or GT-R....

The GTR was designed from the beginning for FI. Compression ratios, internal parts, cooling system, everything is designed from the get go to work together. Its definitely not the same as adding it to a non FI car.

I had to de-supercharge my C6 for the exact same reasons once I tried tracking it, it just couldn't keep the oil cool enough.

If you really want FI for the track and are going to get another car, that white one in modified magazine is for sale, and for a lot less than a used GT3 or GTR, and its a fully sorted track car.

Well wow then, I guess I don't understand why so many people boost their cars if they aren't tracking them...haha. Had no idea that you guys were all just doing this for street fun.

I boosted my 350z and my corvette. The 350 had the stillen eaton supercharger, and it behaved perfectly on the track, and was a very worthwhile upgrade, even if it didn't have the power of the vortech or procharger. The corvette however, just couldn't deal with the track and truthfully, at 550 rwhp, it wasn't that fun on the street either, as I could never really use the power.

Obviously you have not experienced shifting through the gears on a freeway on ramp with 450whp. Makes you giggly inside every time. Besides, I think its more useful to FI on a daily car than a track car. How often can you track? Once a month? Once every 2 months? I enjoy my TT everyday.

Mike, you hit it on the head. And even with the GT-R we still have to make upgrades the cooling system due to the tremendous heat generated during extended lapping sessions.

And great reminder...its' for sale, and a total bargain!
