I can attest to this. In my first 13k miles, being 100% stock, the tires (originals from purchase) hardly wore down at all. In the past few hundred miles of testing various tunes with Edelbrock I've nearly depleted the rear tread! When the car is running at full power (mine isn't consistent at this point unfortunately) it will spin 1st very easily and 2nd too if you drop the clutch a bit shifting from 1st. I even got 3rd to step the rear out on a hard shift once. I'm only on the CARB tune! This is with stock tires of course. I think a wheel/tire upgrade should go with this kit!

Right foot discipline...MOAR GAS!

You can hear it faintly with a stock exhaust and header...

less noise = more efficiency!

This will be really great for a sleeper...

Edelbrock probably has something in the works, but there are several options that fit, if you decide you need an oil cooler.

The OEM FA20DIT cooler is a perfect match for street driving, and casual spirited drives; it is not suited for track driving.

Just read this...now I am worried. I am getting the kit installed, but with no oil cooler and I expect to hit a couple of track days this year...

It's no different from tracking a NA car. You'll be okay for a few track days, but if you do more than that, you really should be getting an oil cooler.

If you absolutely MUST have one asap, we've verified the Perrin cooler fits with a slightly modified mounting location (easy to DIY if you're installing yourself).

They're in stock and ready to ship.

Yes, step # 83 in Edelbrock's instruction book.

No money for it right now, but thanks for the reassurance. I will ensure that when funds become available down the road it's top of my list.

Cheers!

I thought Perrin fits with no modification?

Any idea how much the Perrin setup weighs? It's listed as 20lbs but I'm guessing that's boxed shipping weight. Just wondering what else has to be removed from the car to compensate.

You will not notice the weight difference for these reasons:

1. Your ECU pulls timing when your oil temperature increases and you effectively lose power.

2. The engine power output will be more consistent with an oil cooler.

3. You will be happier knowing that you won't kaboom your engine due to negligence.

Side note, your wallet will feel marginally lighter rather than exceptionally lighter (oil cooler vs. fresh motor).

Hehe, all very important points.

Seriously though, I'm only curious because I have a static power/weight ratio goal.

You can cut weight elsewhere such as dry carbon panels, full strip of the interior and rollcage it with dry carbon seats.

If you only saw my search history... I'd be proud if it were actually porn.

Nah, keeping this one with full amenities. Maybe a Beatrush bumper replacement or TIG up my own aluminum version to offset the weight.

Back to our regularly scheduled Edelbrock goodness...

Pushing it a little more forward is recommended, to give a buffer between the cooler core and the LTR.
