oh well, thinking about sucking it up and being one of the first track day forced induction ride but I gotta make myself believe it can be done first

Next move is diff and clutch then I'll try doing the radiator myself once the north easy season is over then maybe vented hood and stillen front bumper


To some it up let us know about the upgraded cooling
Low boost supercharger is the better way. Turbos are going to be hard to control heat in all aspects.

yea im worried about that to, but im doubting a low boost superchanger is going to make the WHP want let alone the wTQ im looking for.

i dont remember did you have you hood before the incident? did that provide any added cooling?

Yea but it's not like up need much more. Even at 375whp you will be able to keep up with the Porsche guys on the straights. I can already keep up with them in the turns.

The hood is definitely functional but not to the point where the water temp gauge will tell.

true also i was ******** on a ls1 miata the other week at the track who insisted that i was already supercharge... but more power is always more power

i was looking at the hood for getting ride of heat in between run not really during. id hope stillen or someone elses front bumper to do all the cooling mid run. im guess the brake ducts were a success?

when do you have your next track day? interested in how low temps you can keep temps even at high rpms
