Any southern boys going up to TimmayFest this year

It is June 6-7 in Columbus Ohio, composed of AMG's and Bimmer M sleds, coupled with tons of partying

Cliff notes are: June 6, Friday morning is the dyno session at IPS, and that afternoon is drag day (Steve, I hope your little 6 banger can run me down this year lol). June 7, Saturday is the Quaker State Car show, and Saturday evening is the dinner banquet.

It is quite the haul from Atlanta, so I was throwing out a possible convoy. I will be trailoring up which equal 10+ hours

I'm still undecided. If I go, it'll likely be last minute.

no way i rule in the pcar world. too many with 4 digit cars and unlimited budgets!

this yr i know of a n/a 996 narrow body that turbo'd his car so maybe a few more will show

as for proefi i know of a mercedes that is running a 2jz motor and proefi so why can't you? if anybody can do it garth can. he is flying to atl next weekend to tune mine

Probably a gm auto. doubt he would buy a 772.6 to mate to a 2j. I talked to the owner of proefi who has had a sl65 in the shop trying to get proefi to work on it for over a year and said the Mercedes auto is biggest hurdle. I have heard of standalone tcu for 722.6 but haven't seen much info. Id swap to e85 and proefi if I could using Mercedes auto. Otherwise its just a Mercedes shell and not really accomplishing much. You could use any chassis and put a 2 Jay z or el es juan in

i hear ya. thats why I'm glad i went to the porsches. proefi harness is as close to plug and play as you can get. added egt and back pressure sensors as well.

a fiend in nyc has developed a program to eliminate all the cel lights so i can pass emissions as well
