Yes it's the stuff made by crankscrapers.com It really works and lowers oil temps by around 10 degrees.

I don't post because I don't do too much with SR20's these days. I sold my street cars years ago and I havent been to the track much since 2006. Its only since MotoIQ does a race series that we dusted off the old cars and brought them out.

You should do so more often, it's good to see these Honduhs getting their arses handed to them :P.

Definitely Mike, its good to see the nissans out there representing and kicking some butt. The right parts and combinations to make great numbers and stay competitive and win are definitely out there now. All the new stuff out for the ve's is crazy.

Keep up the good work Mike, Always been a fan since I got into the scene in 2000.

Very interesting fact Mike. So for track use it almost sounds like you prefer to go DE rather than the VE?
The last time I had my B13 out on the track with my DE with I/E/H + S4 cams I was hanging, if not pulling slightly on the VE powered cars. I attributed it to my superior driving skills , maybe there is a more "mechanical" explanation to it...
Great to see you on the forum again.

I am also looking for 4.40 gears for the Dog II and have done some minor aero refinements since cal speedway. Both cars should have higher rev limits by then.

I also could probably do a lot of things but I don't want to spend the money. I am also the series technical director and I really don't want to win, it could be seen as a conflict of interest. I am really running just to fill the grid for now until the series gets more popular.

Ah so its a power to weight limited class? I was wondering what class it was, the racing looked pretty cool.

If you really wanted to win in a power to weight class, I would go the 20v cams and e85 (if its cheap as easy to get where you are?). You will most likely end up with the same power you have now, if not a little more but a massive increase in midrange. Also if you ever do kick down bellow 5500-6000rpm you have much better low lobes to get you out of trouble.

Also I didn't say it before but congrats on some well set up cars! Both stick to the road really well and look like a hoot to drive

You might want to think about driving schools if you are really interested.
Keep an eye out for used basic race cars in the classifieds. It is cheaper and faster buying something someone already built than doing it yourself. You will be less likely to get distracted with the building of the car and be able to get out there on the track.

Our power to weight ratio is 12:1. E85 isnt that available out here yet.
