You haven't had a chance to dyno tune any JDL 4-2-1 set ups on this platform yet, have you? I'd be interested to see if characteristics are similar.

I thought about it, but am not really interested in the direction I believe that'd steer that conversation . Anyone is welcome to repost this or link to it though.

If you post this is in the ace thread there's a 1000% chance the die hard fanboys are gonna jump down your throat. Also am I the only one not surprised by the lack of top end power? I always thought 4-1=top end, 4-2-1=Low/Mid

I was unaware of the 4-2-1 vs. 4-1 characteristics, but you could be correct. I think I was (incorrectly) conflating the idea of 4-2-1 vs. 4-1 with UEL vs. EL, where supposedly EL has more top end vs. UEL's bottom/mid.

Wow, almost a year since I've last updated this thread. I've slowed down (lol) on the number of track days I go to as a lot of my money and effort goes towards home ownership nowadays. Also doesn't help that I still occasionally buy cosmetic items. Once a ricer, always a ricer I guess...
I swapped out my Wasp Composites front splitter to an APR. It was beat up from hitting things like my trailer too many times Used some longer and sturdier rods to properly mount it to the crash beam instead of the bumper cover like most people do. Recently, a Texas track finished up a pretty large renovation and expansion. Got a chance to drive it and it's fair to say Texas has a new "most technically challenging" track.

For years I've been having oil leak issues all over my engine bay. Some of it is from the timing cover leaks that have progressively gotten worse, but some I've noticed from the oil filter location. Someone recently at the track noticed the same and said it was the Mocal sandwich plate on my oil cooler, and that Mocal had explained the issue and fix for him. I emailed Mocal and got a (very quick) reply:

Update on the Mocal sandwich plate adapter fix: seems to have fixed the issue. Haven't noticed any leaking oil from there after taking it out on several hot track days.
Here's some fun from Eagles Canyon Raceway up in north Texas.

Just got back home from running NOLA Motorsports park with Gridlife. It was a fun track and I can't wait to go back.
Was doing okay in Time Attack Saturday until I spun a few times and ended up with one of my Falken RT660s getting corded. Swapped it to the rear and was able to run a similar time as my current PB, so parked and waited for Sunday. Sunday, first session is damp from rain overnight. Took a pass on the front straight and ended up not scrubbing enough speed going into T1. After trying to save it, I realized the grass was coming up, so decided to cut my losses and go straight off to prevent mud from flipping the car. Ended my weekend there for a mid-to-lower place finish for Street RWD. At this point, I feel like I've done a lot with the show/stance car. I've already removed the sound system and I think now I am ready to remove the airbags and go full track oriented. I'm debating whether to start a new thread in the track section in order to get more input on questions I may have. I may update this thread every once in a while.

Added a half cage, containment seat, and Sparco wheel.
Also dropped an FA24 into my first gen chassis to celebrate 10 years with the car.
