Check out the Vegas forum at Z driver. There's a Wednesday night meet that some of us usually go to. We haven't had a club meet in a while though.

Usually at the Buffalo Wild Wings on South Eastern, but every other week we hit a random spot so it doesn't get old. It's posted in the Zdriver forum.

Do you have to drive the car in manumatic at WOT? Can you just put it in D and put the pedal to the metal? Or will the needle hit the rev limiter if you romp the pedal in D?

If the needle does bounce off the rev limit in D mode, will a valve body upgrade fix that?

Have you considered Swain Tech instead of Jet Hot? Ask VRT what they think of swain tech instead of jet jot. There website is easy to remember: www.swaintech.com

Full automatic works fine. It doesn't bounce off of the limiter, but I do have the limiter raised to 7200.

Yes it does Chris, but Ty (roneski) wanted to keep his exsisting plenum on.

Having talked to a few other turbo guys and based on the way that Nevada tests I don't think that it'll be an issue. But I'll find out for sure in January.

okay, do you take your car to prestige for service? Are there any concerns with the heat here in Vegas and a daily driver tt?

I took it to Prestige for a compression check. I do most of the service myself. The only heat issues I have run into have been out at the track. As far as daily driving goes I haven't seen any issues at all.
