Portland International Raceway. Portland Oregon. The city actually owns it!

Yeah I can tell it both in power and in tire feel. Add the day goes on you can see all the times drop as well.

Nope! I'm anti-boost! These specs were fairly accurate for what I had at the time there: www.shredjesse.com/1999-c5-corvette/current-parts-specs-personal-bests There was a supercharger esque sound at the start, but it wasn't me because I was just idleing!

Oh yeah, I'll update my description to include a link to the article on the work being done! www.shredjesse.com/1999-c5-corvette/creating-trackable-power-c5-corvette

Indeed, but I wonder what the power to weight ratio is for both cars. It looks like the FRS is 400lbs lighter than me car, at least in factory trim!

It's on my radar to get! I ordered some stuff and I'm going to try and setup some permanent mount and powering options for an old android phone of mine to run track addicts with 10gz GPS and bluetooth connect to OBD2 for all of that data!

@@shredandenjoy7311 You got enough invested in this, get an AimSolo DL2. rest is all half measures

Not with my rear diff ratio of 3.7 unfortunately. Top speed of 128 in 3rd, with the OEM rev limit. A high rear diff ratio and a base model trans would probably work better for 2-3-4, but with my rear diff of 3.7 and a z06 trans I'm using 3-4-5 right now. The rear diff came with the car, and the z06 trans was all I could find locally after my base model gave up the ghost. It definitely isn't perfect, but I'm budgeted time or monetarily wise for perfect!

@@shredandenjoy7311 ah, okay, that's a bit of a double whammy. More aggressive final drive AND transmission gears. I figure I like my standard ratios and final drive and if I need to accelerate harder I can just add power in modest ways, or decrease weight, or both. I read your blog and saw the transmission swap but mist have missed the different final drive ratio. Love your channel and writeups. Check out Hnel On track, that channel is sort of doing what you're doing out on the east coast. Love the C5 track day content! I have a 2000 FRC with a seat, 200TW tires, Hawk HP+ pads and motul 600 fluid and I do like two DE's a year, nowhere near as hardcore as this haha.

Just seeing this comment, thanks man! I can't recall for certain and I need to get my OBD2 data connection going for better days analysis but if I recall... I didn't brake for 16. I'd just carry third through 15 and it was easy to manage throttle through the turn that way. Plus it saved me a 2-3 gear change. So I'd carry slower between 15-16 but net a higher top speed on the straight.

I just realized that ORP doesn't renumber turns backwards, and "Turn 16" is actually the first Turn Counter Clockwise... at least I think... anyways I definitely slowed down for that!

It was always manual!

@@shredandenjoy7311 I thought only the Z06 had the Manuel

@@exoticspeedefy7916 nope. It has different gear ratios though!

@@exoticspeedefy7916 Holy Moly ... Who tell you that? Its not True.

@@kallo182 Because I have never seen a base C5 around that was a Manuel lol. Maybe they are rare. I don't live in the states though, AUS

Thanks, doing what I can!

Thanks! Yeah I've been trying to focus on reliability and handling first. I'm getting really close to the point though where power is starting to make sense. I was running with a lot of modern newer Mustangs at this event and not a one could out corner my car, but nearly all of them would pull on me on the straights.

Yes, I run this setup on a 2020 fox 36 rhythm

I actually ordered several from boardpusher and they hold up fairly well.

I put a z1 coil in my rhythm with a grip 2 and just recently installed a vvc top cap assembly.

​@@toddeasterbrook8936 what is a vvc top cap? Replacement partor something additional? Thanks

@@redmondhodgkinson149 make a non vvc grip 2 a vvc grip 2

Yeah i struggled with grip in the morning and then the afternoon. There was a brief reprieve around 11 from the wind but in general my tires never got up to full temp.

Stock motor. Coilovers and sway bars and Delrin bushings + Cadillac brembo brakes and z51 rear brakes.

Glad you found my descriptions and some images alongside it helpful.

Heh yeah I never bothered to shorten the really long front and rear cable after install. Hasn't bothered me enough to fix it. I'd have fixed it in the winter buy I've been surfing down south instead of being cooped up!

I mean.... I kind of get why they don't as it's only $50 shy (at time of filming) from a Fox 36... but for heavier folk or people who have forearm/wrist discomfort or even arm pump from small trail chatter... this is the best combo I'm aware of for it. I still need to get my 2021 Fox 36 converted to coil and then do back to back rides between the two setups.

Honestly I wish I couldn't relate. Around here every time I drop down to a short length or similar board I just get lapped by anorexic longboarders. Such is the game unfortunately.

Thanks man! It's a pretty fun track. Now I'm just chasing some understeer/push mid turn...

I'd give them a call! Their staff are ultra friendly and knowledgeable and can walk you through every aspect of getting out there from cost to gear to logistics.

I believe so but much more and you're going to struggle

@@shredandenjoy7311 Thanks for the quick reply. Hopefully I can shed some more weight and will look into it.

Yes. You don't need to drop lowers to remove damper.

I don't know anyone personally who coaches but I've been really impressed by Mako. They are out there a lot and they do special instruction with disabled kids and it's the most heartwarming thing I've ever seen. What board on you on? What's your build? A lot of adults get those 8' Costco stuff and it's not quite enough at Mondo's

@@shredandenjoy7311 I’m 6ft around 300lbs. I have a big huge 11 foot foam longboard :)

@@PudgecastRadio you might be surprised how not big an 11 foot board can be! Presuning it's 24"x4" at least though that should go the trick! Mondo's can be tricky at times though so don't beat yourself up over it. The waves will come in the and take fizzle at times. It's got a really unique bottom contour that is great when it's firing, but often makes for very very slow mushy waves that sometimes don't break at all.
