Nice one :bowrofl:

Sadly, many cars come factory equipped with that form of DEI. They call it 'EGR' :shakes head: I removed the EGR system from my LS1 and put a catch can on the PCV system, makes for a cleaner intake manifold and cleaner air to burn too.

I have one in my car, I just dont list it as a mod :)

Yes I do know exactly what DEI is. I have used their exhaust wraps as well as their turbo blankets and their intake corset style shields....I just don't count wrapping my piping as an important mod that is separate from the others on the list....

Well I'm glad you removed the xpel and your radar detector from your mods...

all I said was the ds2500s were not track pads and you came out saying they are amazing and then said that after racing for 15 years you have the experience and you think they are the best you have tried....listen man...do I have to quote the stuff you said? If you want to get into it here, I will gladly get into it, but frankly I have no need to make enemies in these forums. So forget it. Nothing personal.

Same on my LS1. That was one of my first mods. Took a good 15 lbs or so off the front end :)

Right and you were incorrect. The DS2500s are considered a street/track double duty pad. The DS3000s are a dedicated track pad only.

Sigh alright. You win. Best pads ever.

Not to join your debate, but COBB was a little adventurous calling the DS2500 a track day pad for the GT-R.. it really needs more than that, and most are instantly unhappy with that compound selection for even a non-competition track day. The GT-R is a heavy car.. :)

Like I said, I have used them and many others and they work great for a street pad and when I need them for the track. I don't want to switch them out when I go to the track as they work great for that. HP+ are fade heaven.

This is a nice writeup. I like the videos as well. Def I will move out of were u living if I have to go trough all those bumps everyday :rofl2:

The track is pretty nice, I do gona comment, u gona end up without clutch if u dont trust ur car a lil on the cuves, cause going that fast and downshifting almost 3 gears all the time. Idk maybe thats why u end up without breaks. Learn the track better n ull do great.

But overwall, I love the videos and what u did so far thanks :D

Thanks for the comments. I definitely am still learning how to drive this car on that track. The gearing and torque curve are completely different than the car I used to use. I do need to trust the car a little more, I'm just so used to understeer that I don't go into the slow ones fast enough. I shouldnt have to start braking softly to keep the brakes from overheating, they should do what I want them to and if they can't handle what I need them to do, then perhaps they need to be upgraded a little bit.

I tried keeping the car in third, but the revs were dropping too much and I simply can't afford to have that happen since all those low speed corners come before straights. I do think i could keep in 3rd for turn 6 though...maybe.. I'll give it a shot next time, thanks for the advice.

Kool man, just keep practicing and I may join u down there in Miami or Homestead, wherever the place u r going. :tup:

hahahahaha

Maybe AK can clean up all the shenanigans.

Were your windows rolled down during filming?

up most of the time, cracked for a little..

Just the front rotors got destroyed? Do you think a Stoptech slotted rotor w/ better pads would be sufficient enough for you? Or do you believe a big brake kit is necessary?

RCZ and I have had some brake discussions.. at minimum a good STILLEN/DBA Pillar Vane sport rotor would help with that.. but realistically there is no reason to not go the full distance and step up to an AP Racing BBK..

I think I have him convinced.. we'll see.. :)

With a quality BBK.. stopping is just as fun as accelerating..
