Where's Wally

Yes, noticeable improvement versus TA cars, but I'm guessing it's the tires.

The 350 was quicker than stock GT3's and 911 Turbos, most notably in the corners.

That makes me so wish I had my track wheels and Hoosiers for this weekend at BIR with the PCA.

I had no problem keeping pace with four 991 GT3's and a GTS on my first track day. I was curious to see if they were faster on the straights and we were about even. The change of gearing with the shorter R PSC2 tires should make a difference on acceleration.

Yea where's my N4SM R spec wheels. ;D

With your skills, you will be fine. The PSC2's have at least 95% of the grip of the Hoosiers. Main benefit on the R was going square made the car neutral, rather than a little understeer, and saved $500/set -- That said the 350 Suspension/Aero may make the balance different?

911 Turbo's are faster in a straight line, but not in the twisties 8)

How do you think 305/30ZR PSC2 on all 4 corners will do?

That's what I'm going to run.

That's what I have on my forgelines, I'm just waiting for vorshlag to release their plates and I'll finish installing the R springs and the rest of my parts.

I'm sure they'll work fine. Inherent balance is a personal preference and impacted by driving style. Given the width of these tires together with dynamic dampers, I've got a feeling it's kind of splitting hairs...

Here's a video of the Dyno pull and results:

I like those numbers! Any thought on why the spread between the pulls? Did they do anything different on the 3 pulls? That is still under 5% variation between pulls.

No changes between the 3 pulls. Pull 1 and 2 are very close, but both power and torque are off on 3 -- obviously the engine was hotter, but it's more variation than I expected......

Regardless of that slight variance, I am excited to see these numbers given I have GT350 on order. With no engine mods, these numbers are better than my Boss that has had many power mods including the Cobra Jet manifold and cams.

Keep in mind your power/weight is still significantly better in your Boss. You must be close to 8.0:1 (with Chong in the car) in the Boss ;D compared to 8.44:1 in the GT350. Keep that in mind when you're walking me down that mile long front straight tomorrow afternoon

Nice numbers indeed. Full length Headers really wake these voodoos up. On a stock tune and full length headers and stock mufflers on 93 I picked up 30.4 rear wheel hp. On a 93 octane tune with ARH long tubes and also stock mufflers I pulled 511 rwhp and letting off the throttle at 6000 rpm because the tune was lean. With more fuel and timing and now running 100 octane Sunoco 260GT I'm sure 525-535rwhp is achievable.

@Black Boss now that you have 7 track days on your 350 plus our day at GT350 TA I'm curious if you see any areas that might be weak spots that need to be addressed more from a durability perspective or any possible areas for improvement in the suspension or brakes. Any planned mods at this time?

 

[Black Boss]

I'm very happy with the car, and continue to be amazed by it's capability, Stock. As a reminder, my mods are almost all safety related:

Watson Roll Bar, Schroth 6 point harness, Momo fixed race seat, Mike's Jacking Plates, GLOC Pads, Castrol SRF Brake Fluid, Auto-Blip, MM Camber Plates, and AIM Solo DL.

My only additional planned mods at the moment are Ford Performance Oil Separators, and TBD Tow Hook.

Have you installed any paint protection? If not how's the paint finish holding up?

That really speaks volumes and is a big leap ahead of where we were with the Boss when it first came out. After my first track day I came away with the impression the car could be driven hard all day with no complaints. Of course this could all change this weekend when @cloud9 hits the track in his 350!

Check your oil filter Gary! Hope you and John have a great time.
