Whelp...I didn't earn my slicks. I have a goal to hit a 2:10 before I allow myself to take that upgrade. I left a lot on the table in the Esses and South Bend. Rough weekend in general. A lot of bad luck had by all! This was simply the best I could do this go-round!

On a very positive note! Look at the top speed I was able to hit on the back straight with Jester's tune! Significant improvement over factory!

It’s moving dude! And that is not even full send on the tune.? to the 140’s in the straights.

The important part about the tune is that it is track safe! Leaves a little on the table, but the engine temps remained calm despite the flogging! Excellent work!

Thank you! I’m glad the temps held and that there was an improvement on the speed.

Started out very wet this morning. It rained all night last night. I've been taking it slow while others haven't. Just not worth it. Should dry out this afternoon!
Holy shit 144mph on the back straight is flying! Juestertuned for the mfing win!!!

Great lap my man. Very clean lines pushing hard as is your trademark. My best in my BRZ is 2:21.8 on that configuration. If I recall my vmax was 130mph.

I am super excited for my home track of Road America now. 140mph+ here we come baby!!!

That is with room on the tune. If I were to turn up the wick it would probably do 150mph or close to it.

Yeah 144mph, temps in check, knock in check, and surviving 20 minute sessions... that's freaking insanity, and literally THE goal I have for my FL5. I am beyond excited now :)

Yeah I don’t really go for numbers. For me reliability and drivability come first. Then we can chase some power, if it was a street car I would make the map more aggressive and lean it out.

Also @PointByPatrol was not nice to the car.? but it proves how strong this engine is.

Very nice keeping the CS in sight for the full lap. That is really intriguing. Also your track prep is on point! Bringing an extra front pipe "just in case".

We were aware of the issue with the front pipe, and @PointByPatrol took matters into his own hand.

Were you running the new turbo yet? Or, just radiator, oil cooler, intercooler, DP / FP?
Stock turbo! Have PRL intercooler, HEL oil cooler, TSP downpipe, remark exhaust and Eventuri intake! I won't do the build for another few weeks!
