Nice!!! Good to see another 5th gen set up with boost and running a road course. Good power for the track you have there. Surprised some have not chastised you for having "too much power" for a road course.

What are you doing to control oil temps? I have yet to run mine at the Eagles Canyon raceway. Getting twins installed and will be 1100 whp or so but running a boost controller and only 8psi for the track. I installed an Earls extra wide custom oil cooler that is 16 row and it does real nice around town at 105deg. Have yet to make it out to the course though?

I will be following this thread.

Is the diff cooler the one from Lingenfelter?

The diff cooler system was designed in house, the actual cooler is Derale with a Spal fan and Tilton pump.

We also designed our own oil cooler system using a Derale cooler and Improved Racing products etc.

We recently switched over to a dry sump oil set up, and an aftermarket front splitter. Some pics below;

Mike... That splitter is off the charts! Awesome!

Any pics how you modified and set things up for the oil tank? Did you remove the cabin air filter completely? Also, you really need to reroute the brake ducts outside of the suspension. It will get thrashed under compression. It's tight but doable with 3" lines running closer to the lower accessory drives, just need to keep them tied back to not touch. Not sure if the intercooler plumbing makes that impossible though.
