It is in October and the weather is usually beatiful and COOL. Look it up on Google.
It would be a great time for us Pettit and non Pettit folks to get together.
Anyone interested?

I've been using 10w40 for the last 5k or so miles. I like the added security.

Jeff, did you notice a difference in oil temps going from whatever you were using before to the 20w-50?

Also, I’ll be installing a heat reflector material between the blower and the engine on Monday. I’ll post pictures later on.

BTW, a state trooper decided to chit chat with me this morning on I-4 and gave me a $204 conference call bill. Anyway, first speeding ticket in over 10 years (85mph on a 70 mph zone) and over 100k miles of highway driving since then. Not bad, I guess, plus not to mention that five minutes earlier I was doing 140+ mph on my Hayabusa.

Damn, sounds like my story. My previous ticket was in the Fall of 1997, but I got one this past April coming back from Raleigh, NC (80 in a 65). North Carolina doesn't rape their speeders as much, ticket was for $105 + $25 court costs. I ended up spending about the same as you though since I paid a lawyer to brag about my awesome driving record and get the points dropped.

btw, here's a picture of the car after a nice claybar/waxjob:

yea i have been running 20w/50 without a problem--but with the slightly longer warm up now and the fall ambient temps(Sorry Jeff highs in the 80"s here!) i was thinking a 10w 40 may be a good move.
i also made a blower heat shield with aluminum sheet and the motor armor gold tape. I havent installed yet as the engine bay temps are very cool now and i am not sure if it will be of any real affect.
what we need is the heat isolation intake gasket like the honda guys use and shielding from the exhaust for that lower intake. i have done some of that!!
we can you buy the phenolic material to cut your own?
anyone getting the cog belt drive?

Just added some heat shield to the blower and waiting for my new Snow Performance (due to arrive on Wednesday) meth controller so I can take the car for a test drive. The shield is from DEI and is rated for up to 500 degrees plus I added some of the starter heat shield leftover to the bottom of the blower. The DEI heat shield is paper-thin and self-adhesive for easy installation. Just cut, peel back and stick. Well not counting the 5 hours to remove and reinstall the blower.

For those of you who want a cogged setup....Are you happy with the boost level you're at now, or would you like a little more?

Yes, and mine also. I was stating that I would not be first, as that honor will go to someone elsebut, am still committed to the mod.

I would be interested but need to use care as I am not sure at what level of boost the four port will not like.

My next big mod will be a second engine in the garage, all prepped for installation. I don't want to go thru the waiting game again.
