I run a Verus with the return plate on the head. I did testing with them early on and with one of the engines we tested it on the amount we managed to separate from the air was pretty crazy. Now everything is nice and clean. I like how clean their setup looks and how I don't have to empty it all the time.

What oil is everybody running?

From what I've read I'm thinking Motul 5w 30

I'm running the Verus Engineering AOS. One can that services both ends of the motor and it's super easy to drain with a Fumoto valve on the bottom.

Millers Nanodrive 5w40. Only the best.

Never heard of that oil. I've never actually changed the oil myself. Does everybody order these online? I've been searching online for Motul or Millers nanodrive, no results near me..

I just realized you track yours. Mines a DD. Maybe so I don't think there will be a need for 40. Would you agree?

I would run a 30 weight on a street car.

I'll give a second thumbs up to the Fumoto valve. It makes changing oil yourself a much better experience. Oil comes out in a smaller, more controlled stream instead of gushing out with such force that it splashes everywhere. Moreover, it removes the chance of stripping the oil pan. It is one of those things that makes you wonder why cars don't come standard with those valves.

PS. To anyone reading this who knows the benefits of the Fumoto system, get some speed bleeders. Same ease as the Fumoto valve, except for bleeding the brakes. Worth every penny.

Hopefully gonna have my JDL V2 with the GT2860R ordered right after new years. I'm already getting Southben Stg2 clutch, the velox fork/pivot. Currently working on getting guages, should I get the P3 Vent guage or the ScanGuage? What is everyone else running?

Also wheels/tires? For 275-300whp do we really need to get wider wheels/tires? I'm currently running the 17x7.5 wheels that came on the performance package for daily and 17x8 RPF1 for track.

I'm thinking about going with a p3 gauge then using an Innovative LC-2 to feed the gauge's aux input wideband AFR.. Then program the other LC-2 output into ecutek for logging.

Wondering if anybody else has gone down this route and how it turned out?

Got the kit on Wednesday.

It's no lie. Quality, Quality, and also Quality. Really thankful for the excellent packing and the quality of the kit is just promising. Never thought ceramic coating would smell so good either.

Getting it installed at RevWorks next week and James will be over to tune the car.

I am exquisitely exhilarated...

P.S. Whos running P3 or TorqueApp with this kit?

Ive done this multiple times before. Talk with your tuner first. They might not even care about logging your wideband. I personally trust my own wideband and not user installed. I have a post somewhere talking about the accuracy of the OEM wideband, and showing logs against my innovate wideband showing how close it is. I tune these cars and I don't even use a wideband on my own car. Its "close enough". I have a P3 gauge but I just use it for oil / coolant temps. I have boost cut and closed loop fueling and i don't need to be staring at my AFR while I drive... I need to be looking at the road. =)
