    I meant to ask this before, but can you give some more details on the timing setup? It looks like you're using the stock Mercedes guides. What did you have to do to get those to fit the block?

    If you have a logger/dash and front and rear brake pressure sensors you can set it by pressure in the pits.  Instead of turns.  Turns are also hard to keep track of when you come running up to a corner.  I have a Tilton pedal set and their bias adjuster already.  I'm looking at changing from turns to a linear system of steps to easily change from max front to max rear. I've seen two systems I like.  During the Schumacher era at Ferrari they created a stepped system so Michael could change brake bias between corners.  Triple Eight racing (V8 Supercars) created a system like an ARB adjuster for their drivers and that's another option.  I have had too many runs that rain started falling and I would have loved to be able to change bias and ARBs quickly.  I'd like a Bosch motorsports ABS but it's too expensive to justify for me.

     

    Have you read any about the Mk60 standalone systems? I'm in the process of putting one in my Z. They aren't quite on the level of a Bosch Motorsports system, but tons of people are using them effectively in racing.

    Need to look into driver safety gear, and would be inclined to source used if possible. Although not really sure if that’s a practical solution. 

     

    I was going to suggest just going and looking at the clearance rack at the Simpson factory store in Harbor City, but it appears they've closed up shop in the last couple years. That's really a shame. It was great to have a place like that locally. Cheap but new gear and also could get measured for a top-of-the-line custom suit. Looks like they moved everything to Texas.

    Yeah, that makes sense. The middle man has to take his cut. I've had a few small things made for different projects and it always baffles me how cheaply I can get things. I ordered a small part recently, and it was ~$50 shipped to my house via air mail. Someone has to take the order, someone else has to machine it, another person has to package it, and then all the people it takes to get it to my step from China, yet all of them get paid somehow.

    I think tubing is tubing and what's done on the ends in the enum make a difference...

     

    If it works then that's it.  I'd rather have performance over looks and I don't like the angles I saw for the first cylinders.

     

    I think the angle of the picture is just playing tricks on your eyes. This has less of an angle change from the TB to the port and a longer radius on the plenum than the Protunerz intake. Screenshot_20231229_023512_Chrome.jpg.256e71846f26e8aa7691153ed0f566f6.jpgScreenshot_20231229_023532_Chrome.jpg.fae61f7ae2c1c1f478ee1b496de5ee02.jpg

    The Cometic gasket that was designed by a member here (Jeff Priddy) is the current favorite. It has individually bossed holes for every possible port on every head/block, allowing you to add even more cooling pathways if you want. Godzilla and Milkfab both carry it.

    I'm surprised that no one is making these.

     

    You used to be able to get a billet spray bar from Larry Hassler. I'm not sure if he's still making them or not. 626-358-2885 was his number. If you give him a call, please report back and let us know what his current price/availability is. It's always nice to know the options.
