yes an extreme & quick switch in temp. from hot to cold would do that....but just let the car cool down for 15min and throwing on a 40lb ice bag is perfectley ok (if your in a hurry just throw a t-shirt down then the ice bag on top)

Anyone who plans on attending this event, and would like an unfair advantage, please call or email me. I have 3 installation slots available for the Friday before, and would be able to install your kits before you go to the track on Saturday. The upgrade will retail at $1699, however this month, we have it on sale for the introductory price of $1399. Installation will take 3.5 hours @ $85/hour ($297.50).

Thanks!

Ben

is this upgrade actually available now or was it only for people going to the track? tx

Hey Peter & Charlie,

Did you guys use the water box before making the run? I am talking about the first race.

It will be available to ship by the end of this week, or mid next week. It is still on sale for the month of December ($1399).

Glad I got mine at the November price.

Ben, do you know if the crank pulley will come off with a breaker bar, or is an impact gun necessary? The impact gun I have will not fit in there without removing the radiator, and I don't want to remove that.

Tim's set had been pre-ordered, so he could get one of the first sets available. November has come and gone, don't miss out on December!

Tim,

We do not recommend doing the pulley install by yourself. I will put you in contact with Vadim when your kit is ready, so you can decide what you'd like to do.
