Looking to find a home for my track kicks. I only got a few sessions on them at Button Willow and Streets of Willow but they handle really great. I have had the GT7s for a while. They weight about 21lb each. Was really happy with this setup just do not have the money to go the track every...
I run the 93 map with 92 oct gas in Oregon + a small amount of water meth.
intercooler is great... but I know BC weather and the heat dome was kind of an oddity. 40C for a few days normally... normally not that bad right?
I used all OEM parts aside from the bolts. Most current revisions of the tensioner and pump available.
I did think about another donor engine to build like you are talking about. But was also mired by cost. Hard when the car is a DD
I went with APR because I was tuned by them anyways. Its held up really well so far. Agree with alot of the comments here regarding intercoolers too. Definitely very useful but maybe a bit less so given your climate.
