Whats up man? I remember talking to you that day over at PIR. I had the only other 2g 
That weekend was my first time out on the track, i regret to say my 2g started overheating at such a rapid pace that after 4 laps on the 1st session, my temp gauge was already pegged out, but i was having so much fun, i didnt even wanna pull off I had to pull off early both 2nd and 3rd session and have been sitting on the side line ever since. Im actually just now about to change setups and get it ready for the fall so i can hop right back into HPDE2 and get some much needed seat time.
Have you made any more races since, and are you planning to attend any soon? Ill be out there August at FIR West, but just to say hello to everyone and watch my buddies. Hope to see you at the track!

. I had been running a carbontrix hood vent. That helped alot. I wrapped my dnp ss exhaust mani. That also helped. I put in a big name aluminum radiator. I'm running a 1.3 bar blitz radiator cap. My car has never overheated. It runs the same temp irregardless of what I'm doing. I did all this with road racing events in mind. Later on I added a VIS evo style cf hood. The hood really made a huge difference. In fact afterwards I removed the thermal wrap from the dnp header as the wasn't any point to it anymore and it was starting to flake even tho it was hi temp silicon painted. I loved my carbon trix hood vent but it can't be denied the huge vents on the vis evo hood works better. If you stop at a light you wind up looking thru heat shimmer. That hood did drop my normal operating temperature. One thing I thought was kind of interesting is that when I first started messing around with heat management I took off the hood. Kinda like the old school muscle car guys do. With the hood off it actually ran hotter. Air flow gets all messed up. I also ran it without the front clip on for a bit and noticed lower iats and a cooler surface temp on the smic. Hence the reason I fabbed up the duct to the smic and in the process enlarged the front opening going to it.
