[QUOTE="Maynor, post: 7209427, member: 9118"] Lots of great advice already posted. One more piece, run 100% unleaded race gas or Torco to minimize the chances of detonation. Its cheaper than an engine so don't worry about the $/gal. In a non-intercooled setup, that's critical. On Edit: One other piece of advice... if this is your daily driver and you don't' have backup transportation... I personally would not run that combo on a road course. If you have backup transport, have fun learning and just keep out of it in the straights to minimize boost. The curves are the fun parts anyway. If you really want to relax and just learn... keep the Cobra at home. Rent a car and have fun till you figure out where you want to go with this hobby. Rather than being distracted with thoughts of the motor at your first event, I'd encourage you to get in a rental and just learn. You'll be hooked soon enough and can add a measure of engine safety later. Again, still way cheaper than replacing a motor... John Novi'd 99 Cobra [/QUOTE]
