dear god, thank you

I steer with the throttle 100%

I came home feeling like $6M dollar man, superman and my last name may as well be Schumacher

the car is mutha farking awesome, I cant provide you amore honest review
I am not lying, this rocks @Sivtec rode with me today, seeking comments

P&L makes it go faster,if you track your car, want that extra power, hands down, winner
sold

its faster, than before, period, on the track, drove really good and am happy with my self, my car, and my tests

Perrin sent me a new tune file that did wonders with the header, he tunes very safe, my god does that work great on the track,

Was able to reproduce fuel issues on left hand turns over and over anytime I was a 3/4 tank, NO ISSUES when FULL, data log captured it and will be studied

Vortech performed FLAWLESSly in the heat, drove it at 10/10 today. no issues.

did I mention its now officially farking fast?

a second person who was just in another Turbo car commented on my power delivery and they seemed to like mine alot too, but I rather them express their review in their own words

Temps were hot, but within their operating range oil, sc, water. OE fuel, oe rad, the money saved is buying more tires, gonna need more
curious if higher fuel pressure mitigates what I am feeling on hard left drifts on full throttle..does aftermarket pump solve this?

fastness = tires
great day at Firebird. no pics, spaced on video, sorry
having too much fun..
Definitely need new tires after today lol. Crazy. My face for the
min session = .

Everything on Gem's car, simply put, just worked. The way it should have. No lag where it was needed (other than coming out of a left turn, which I believe is the fuel pump, but that is up for testing), shifting, tires, brakes, suspension, everything. I really don't know what could have been better.

Quote of the day was: "Not a bad day when the only thing that passes you are a worked ZR1 Vette and a full on racing truck." We were passing things left and right and Mook is in div 4 in the NASA circuit so it wasn't petty driving.

yep, I have a temp gauge on my sc, so you wont need one @Sivtec played passenger/pilot and checked almost every lap, thanks

you have nothing to worry about, I never reached the temps that would be cause for alarm, close but not quite, I assure you, had a BLAST and everything was awesome.

SC Temps stayed below the prescribed limit during my runs, phx heat was 93-95 today, ambient a few degrees hotter at the track. I drove it trying to break it

I drove it almost ruthlessly, pushing it

Its hot where I live but nothing to be worried about, you dont need to buy a gauge, no need for it what so ever. promise. It is fine, in speaking with Voprtechs R&D, its temps are exactly what they expected it to be in my climate, and so 'normal'

when correct volume of fluid is used, they have engineered a solution thats FINE at the track in the heat. Period. tested, check boxed, done. nothing to learn here, but I DID ensure I was not over filled, and checked my level 10 times till I was sure the top most thatch showed no oil , but all other thatches show oil, so I ran it 1mm low from full, PERFECT. I'm waiting to cool it off to drain and 'see', and expect it to look like it was when I filled it yesterday.
Just to throw on here, I will say it was freakin' hot today. I checked the Temp gauge almost every lap just to see how much it would increase. I'll just flat out say it didn't stay "cool" but Mook also wasn't babying it either. The temp gauge never pegged. I don't feel for the full 20 min session we were on, that the temp was going to be an issue. The tires would give out before anything else would.

And lastly I will just throw this out there, I am completely sold on the Vortech. I have ridden in one of the turboed FRS's two days before I ever rode with Gem and I will say the power that you get with the Vortech just works with the track. It was made to deliver on the track. I have ALWAYS wanted a turbo but now I have to completely reevaluate this choice. I really do believe that depending on what you are going to do with the car dictates what boost method you go with. But I will say if you do any type of tracking, the Vortech just works. It really is perfect for this sport.

Thanks again for the ride man, I will never turn that down!
