BTW, my offer to buy your car for $5 still stands.
The problem is my exhaust...too restrictive for my power and boost. The cooling issue seems to be related to the exhaust as well. With no exhaust not only did the car make 543whp @12 psi vs. 430whp @ 16 psi with exhaust, but when CPrace dynoed with no exhaust the cooling temp never passed 205. After the run it immediately went back down to 170. Seems like the exhaust is too restrice and traps the hot air in the block. It is weird cause Sharif made over 500whp with the same exhaust although he was dropping power in the higher RPMS. I guess every car is different. I have seen a few APS TT guys with built motors post similar results where one guy can make power and another guy with the same exhaust is having problems making the same power. I am going to swing by a muffler shop this week to see if I can get a custom dual 3" with HKS TI mufflers.

Hey GMan, that exhuast has already been fabricated by SFR. You might be able to order it from them. https://g35driver.com/forums/showthr...light=dual+hks

Awesome numbers G-man. I still want to race you in Orlando and I bet you I can beat your slow black G!

If that doesn't get him up to Orlando nothing will.

The car and I are back in Miami. My passenger window died on the drive back so I need to get the car to the dealer. I also have the rear axle clicking noise. I am going laugh my **** off if they try to tell me the warranty is voided because of my mods.

Thanks. I was looking at that, but will just have it done locally. I can get the mufflers for $600 and Miami muffler quoted me $600 for 3" test pipes and 3" straight pipes with anodized steel and $850 with stainless steel. It can get their same setup plus matching 3" test pipes for about $500, not to mention I won't have to pay for shipping. Besides the saving I need a custom job because of my top secret rear bumper. I don't know if the angles SFR has will fit with the TS bumper.

Yeah, I'd like to see how they are going to explain that my motor mods caused my window motor to go.

Just make a copy of the Magnuson-Moss warranty act and stick it in their face...

Should have stopped at Lokey on the way home Jorge. Hopefully you can get things worked out w/o any trouble.

Now, time for a very serious question... When will you be making your way to Orlando?
