Even though your gauge may seldom move from 180F, your engine temps reach 215F+ at times.
You could also glue your gas gauge at 1/2 tank and you would never need to add gas to the car.

Porsche gauges, as well as most other auto makers, not only display less than actual temperature but do not respond quickly enough to temperature changes. Any serious racer is advised to install a quality sensor and gauge so they know what their engine is actualy doing.

I'm installing several gauges; including EGT, air/fuel, boost(in psi), oil temp, etc.

Ryan, I heard your 160 MPH pass was basically a 1/4 mile burnout

Gotcha, I guess 3500+ pounds and 1600+ HP doesn't work too well with radials!
What tires what Stacey running on his Viper?

Joe,
WHOLY CRAP, You ran her 18 times !!! WOW is all I can say.
Glad you like the GT2 they are fierce animals arent they.
I am glad someone else besides me likes the Fabspeed exhaust. Glad to hear you are having fun with the car. I am also glad to hear she is actually being driven. BTW PM me a address to send that Porsche authenticity thing if you want it.

Nice runs Joe, not bad! Your car runs hard, cant wait to see it all opened up with the GT700 package, are you selling your current setup?
