very well done... Sharky... now get that HP up...I get a feeling that its not a boost issue you are having.... low or high.... 21 psi is high for our cars... especially if no internals were done...
well done.

p.s. an engine builder/ gt cup race car owner told me once.. " the trick with 996 turbos is to produce large amounts of power at lower boost levels... and not the other way around...." something to think about... His race car took 2nd place at the Lemans in France 2 yeras ago.
best regards,
markski

I hope so

I think mid-130s trap speed is something to aim for...

Hehe I know a track with turns

I do go sometimes... It's actually an easy car to drive on the track for a slow driver such as myself

Thanks Parker! Because of what happened at the shoot out (one turbo was shot) I wanted to see what the car would do with the same set up (tires, alignment etc..).... Poor James spent many an hour fixing stuff

Alex, I just told my wife that she has a new role model, Joan.

You know you're a lucky SOB right?

Hehe... poor gal. Do you know what she has to do to get there? She has to at least take off your rear bumper, remove the intercoolers and plumb them with IC sprayers for starters

I just saw Joan's video footage and it came out really well (especially the fog).

We'll try to post it for you guys along with the timeslip by tomorrow.
