Yes sir.

On the agenda is a VIR Grand Course in November, a couple Autocross in Oct/Nov, and a trip to Tail of the Dragon next weekend.

Awesome, looking forward to it! I think part of the hesitation for some (myself included) is the reliability of the kit during extended use ie heat soak, etc during a hot trackday.

Would you mind doing some data logging during your events and posting them on here?

Of course! It's much more difficult to drive it modestly with an extra 70ish whp on tap.

Would be nice to see if you could drive 'normally' for say 1 tank of gas and compare? No doubt the SC reduces consumption, but edelbrock themselves reckon it shouldn't by too bad at normal speeds and acceleration

I will have that data after this weeks tank. I put a new clutch in Monday at the start of a new tank so I have been driving modest for this entire tank.

Update: I ran a full tank through the clutch break in consisting of normal driving. My average was 25.5mpg which is about 1-2mpg loss over what I saw NA.

Nice. I don't think that's too bad a loss - especially considering the performance gain and grin factor!

Videos coming soon! A friend let me borrow a Sony 4K to get some good video with. Any specific things you guys would like to see? Camera mounting spot, type of driving, etc?

Track day! Dyno! Trackday dyno?!

Lol, joking aside, I recall people asking about the whine, so maybe some interior shots with a good mic? I'm actually more interested in the day to day type of stuff, so maybe some low-rev city driving and freeway cruising?

For performance stuff, like track days or spirited drives, I'm mostly interested in data: IAT's, oil temps, fuel trims, etc. Feel free to overlay those of your video :D

Do you have any suggestions for good overlay software/apps? I have not done it previously, so I'm open to suggestions and giving it a try on my trip to the dragon this weekend.

Unfortunately, no, the closest I've done was using the torque app track recorder (android).

RaceRender is a great overlay tool (runs on Mac and PC).

You can also use your phone.
