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.
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!

I will say that I am absolutely delighted by your comments about
my not babying it 
and the
group not pretty driving-everyone in that group drives pretty aggressively
glad you enjoyed 'the ride', and thanks for yet another stellar review, my goal in this thread was to have others review the Vortech kit, and my build, setup and how I have it dialed in.
... and its starting to please me to see the same reviews from different reviewers on both the components I have selected and how I have it setup

AZFA20 was there earlier, and saw me drive here and at AMP, out with me on my very 1st lap at that track. I think he realized today that his review in my car that day was at a track I rode for the 1st time so I didnt drive it hard. This track, I know well, and can push things much harder when I am comfy with a track. I'd love to see a 2nd day observation comments from him too.
