It's not the rotors fault necessarily....Pad compound has a lot to do with rotor life and issues with warping....as well as driving habits.
Pads are crap. Super hard compound. Just haven't gotten around to replacing them. Gonna have to soon though. Hoping I can get the rotors resurfaced.

Yea I only drive on the twisty roads. Not many people I trust to know what they are doing. Paul is an exception, Maybe he'd say the same about me lol.
Also I hear for those older Americans your neck and back will be sore bye the end of the day if you are not used to doing it

You and me both, I know that sometimes I approach turns a little to fast and I don't quite hit the apex on my exit which pisses me off sometimes . I wish I could be as good as Paul probably is.

Speaking of which, how is your son doing Paul?



I just realized, I tend to get * asterisks in a lot of my posts lol

Nah man. Just under 600. 2.3L whipple. Would love a 2.9L so I could take the boost numbers down a little and make better power but I ain't spending that kind of money.

Hahahaha I am sure you would, I scare her going around turns that when I am by myself I usually can take doing about double the speed. Is it me or are some curves easier to take at speed than when going slower?

You can teach me how to drive ... I can keep your shop nice and clean for you

Hahaha like that is a small number

I thought the 2.9L was a GT500 S/C or does it mate up to the 4.6 heads?

There's one for the 4.6 also. I believe there may be a 3.1L also. Not sure but fitment becomes an issue I believe.

Huh, learn something new everyday

Would you consider running a Meth kit to help keep your IATs down? Although that costs a bunch of money also

Nope. Just more crap to strap on it and maintain. It's good for now as a toy. If I was to get into road racing I would just build a car for that purpose. Something with dents and bad paint preferably.

nice. KB is a power maker for sure. Just don't like the way they look and have seen the whipples last a lot longer.

Can't wait to go for a ride in it, should be fun. A friend of his has a GB 5.0 that is pushing 500+ to the wheels, forget what he has in it. I'm making some new friends this summer!
