for all the Florida guys and any one really there is a DE event at Roebling Road in Savannah Georgia with Darkside driving for $250 for the w/e! you can even purchase track insurance. Looks like you would have a lot of track time.It sounds like it would be really good.
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?

Not much going on with mine. My meth controller craped out two weekends ago while auto crossing. Today Snow Performance confirmed that the controller box was faulty and they are going to ship me a new one tomorrow. I parked the car since then and will be back on the road once the controller arrives home.
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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
