[QUOTE="Coz, post: 16111053, member: 184704"] With respect to engine cooling, I am not familiar with meth kits and to what extent they are effective. Do they have enough capacity for 20-30 minutes at a time? You may want to install an oil temp guage to monitor the oil temps too. The fact that you are aware of the potential issue is half the battle. It is possible that the plumbing to and from your heat exchanger may block your duct hose. You'll have to visualize the routing of your hose from the fog light ducts and by your radiator, windshield wiper bottle, etc and making sure that when your wheels turn from lock to lock that they don't rub the duct hose. I recommend the GT500 brake upgrade for three reasons 1. The larger diameter gives the brakes a bigger brake torque effect. Similar to a longer wrench. 2. The larger mass of the rotor will allow heat to dissipate better. 3. It looks better... I am not an expert on tires but the Bridgestone RE-71, Fallen RT615K+, Hankook RS-4, and Michelin Cup 2 are highly regarded for track use. They are all 200TW tires and can easily be driven on the street. Some of these may be louder than regular tires and being softer will not last as long. Some of them will not be real good in the rain but from your location I take it that's not an issue :). For a dual duty tire, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S is probably the best, followed closely by the Continental ExtremeContact Sport. The Firestone Indy 500 seems to be a good value. One other thing, if your car did not come with a Torsen differential and still has the clutch-pack based Traction-Lock then I would strongly suggest you upgrade. With your torque you may more easily break loose the rear wheel when powering out of a turn. The Torsen will do a better job of applying that torque to the tire with the most traction. [/QUOTE]
