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?

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!

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

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.
