Well if the temps were in the 100's, I would call it, "having some fun in the sun". Yes, I can feel a noticeable difference in my cammed and HP tuned '04 C5 A4 between a 70 degree day and a 100 degree day. Most people know that colder air is more dense and makes more horsepower than hot air. Enjoying the content, thanks.
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
These POV vids are usually better without music playing in the background and the driver talking the whole time. I like to hear the engine, gears, tires. Good vid. My DD is an '04 C5 base auto; modded, 412hp.
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!
Great driving! I would ride out the gears longer instead of upshifting. You don't need to hit 5th gear, just bang it off the limiter. You'll hit 140-145 in 4th.
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.
It doesn’t really come across in the video but I think you were consistently braking the latest into T16 CCW. It actually scared me every lap. Was fun watching all weekend!
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!
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.
Hello! Is it possible to install Fox 36 GRIP2 Damper Cartridge (820-18-335-KIT, i.e. for 180mm travel) to Marzocchi Bomber Z1 Coil with travel adjusted to 160mm?
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.
Nice to see this is an option as I am looking at it myself. I do have one question though. What is up with those cables?? Super long, hanging all over. Total disaster...
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!
Im surprised not more people do this video more often. I often ride lower in sag and use a lot of compression for mid stroke support. Seperate High and Low speed control is so useful for me and I am really looking forward doing this installation on my Z1 coil very soon as well.
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.
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.
You didn’t even ride the Jet? It’s probably one of the fastest boards out there and keeps you in the wave. Super responsive to turns and carving. I actually own 2 jets. Fantastic board.
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
@@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.
Not really? It did let me adjust low speed rebound to be quicker but keep high speed rebound up so it wasn't kicky on big hits. Without high speed rebound you'd have to compromise normally and have a slower rebounding ride (can't boost off of things as easy) or you'd have a faster rebounding ride for boosting(and traction in my opinion) but it would be hardh on heavy landings. It's still not as poppy as air suspension, but if your air suspension is that puppy you're going to get bucked in really not bottom outs generally speaking.
