Small Update: Test Day at Lime Rock 8/5/11
I had a test day last week to try to continue to sort the bugs out of the system and as I fix problems new ones arise. This time around I had 3 different intercooler couplers blow off several times for each. While this was annoying it didn't end my day and I got several laps between having to go to the pits to fix the car. There was traffic all day and since I couldn't stay out for whole sessions I got a single clean lap the entire day but in that session I picked up 7/10ths on my best time running a 1:00.2. My goal is getting in the 59s without Hoosiers or another sticky r-comp right now so I'm getting there. On the last lap the car developed a massive exhaust leak on the turbos which I need to remedy ASAP. Hopefully I can up the reliability and get the car dyno'd soon. I'll try to update this more regularly as I have some work to do on the car which I'll post up.

Ryan, you're still running twins right? I've found that for serious reliability on the road course a nicely setup single tends to work very well. Maybe something you're already thinking of for the future though

Hey Rich, I'm running the same setup that left your shop several years back for the most part. Unfortunately I don't have the funds right now to do that but it's a goal for the future. I would to have the reliability of a single.
