[QUOTE="Van@RevanRacing, post: 9026587, member: 69847"] Come on out and go for a ride! Daytona is a once a year event and I'm very fortunate to be able to run it. If you can come out on Thursday between 12 and 4 you can take track tours for free where the lead instructors discuss transition, braking, turn in, apex and track out for every turn on the track. Keep in mind, when I run Daytona it's the 24 Hour Rolex Course so the speeds are not consistent at 180 MPH +... There are a number of transitions like braking for turn one which is generally taken at 70+ MPH then you slam it down for turn 2 40 MPH +/- (walls everywhere) and then nail the throttle toward the international horseshoe, heel/toe down shift, finish the turn and then you get on the throttle through the 4 exchange and then prepare for a hard right into turn 5 at about 50+ and then back on the throttle shortly and prepare for turn six at about 60+ then into NASCAR turn 1. Wide Open Throttle Thru NASCAR turn one and two down the back stretch and then hard on the brakes heel/toe down shift into the "Bus Stop" and then back into Wide Open Throttle entering NASCAR turn 3 through 4 and get ready for turn 1 again. I'll make a suggestion to the above picture. Use an "S" Blade Style fan versus a straight blade fan. The "S" blades actually puller a higher CFM than straight blade so it should help to increase CFM and cooling efficiency. I'm not sure if they make "S" blades in that size fan.............. Although I have open tracked and datalogged my car countless times I also datalogged and drove my car all over town for hours on end data logging IAT2's. Stop and Go traffic is definitely a big enemy and that's where the dual puller fan design really helped. It's also where most people who own there GT500 are going to be driving it. :thumbsup: The biggest factor is the heat transfer into the intercooler and intercooling system after the car is warm and you park it.
