I can't believe how fast they produced your valves. Can't wait to get mine. Now, if only the Pauter rods come in before October 15th so we can make the shootout.

On the flip side, Kevin and I will get together for our own little one on one. It will really be interesting as the two cars are probably two of the faster street legal turbo/GT3 turbo's in existence. Buckler once told me KA was so obscenely fast, it should be illegal to allow her on the road.
The interesting thing about Kevin's car and KA is they are both balanced cars, yet different approaches were taken to achieve the balance.

I agree with you. However, the problem is still the Pauter rod delivery. Carrillo quoted even a longer delivery date.
We are treading on new ground. The GT3 crank is stronger and has higher rpm advantages. It also has different dimensions. The journals are wider and narrower. The GT3 rods are .030 shorter. The result is you must have rods with custom dimensions made.
We did everything we could with Pauter to deliver the rods sooner. The bottom line is six to eight weeks with no guarantees. When all the dimensions were known (we sent one GT3RS and one stock rod to Pauter) and Pauter was able to start, it was the 28th of August. If the rods arrive mid October we will make the shootout. If they don't arrive until the first of November, we will still try to make it, however the odds wouldn't be very good.

Come on Chad, finish the car already. Jesus.

Just a fact. I have never pulled any punches. If she is ready she will be there. If not I have no problem in allowing the winning contestant a crack at her. I'm not hiding from a thing.
Now if you happen to have a spare wiring harness, please let me know as I would like to tune her on an engine dyno.

Kevin,
How would you get it smogged with Motec? Passing that test is a big issue to me. That is one reason why I stuck with the GT3 cams.
I would love to have Motec, but until it is legalized for street I believe I'm stuck. Hopefully someone will be able to up the percentages where the sensors engage. We have eliminated the TB shutdown. This was a great help.

Chad, what you are thinking about doing will end up with frustration. I have been involved with doing the same thing with a 993TT engine. The ECU is to smart, it will look for wheel speed sensors, and ABS info.. You'd have to trick each sensor, and mask it with false sensors. If it is out of the given MAP parameter. The ECU will put the car in limp mode.. At first it looks like a good plan, but it will turn into a nightmare.. It would be easier to install a Motec system and bench run the engine..

I have passed the OBDII test. It passed with four out of six.

Passing the sniffer test with an AWD car is easy here in Illinois... if you have AWD, they don't stick your car on the dyno... they only sniff the tail pipe.
Well, years ago, my Eclipse GSX passed with a straight pipe in place of the cat... that's right, no cat. The fact of the matter is, the modern ECU at idel or under throttle without load (just rev'n engine) or even light load (closed loop) runs pretty clean.
Now... the OBD II... you'll have to fake
