Looking forward to taking the car to Gainesville (GatorNationals). It's about an hours' drive.
Going to Savannah Ga. (Roebling Road Raceway) in two weeks for weekend DE with the Porsche Club. Hope to be able to stick close to the GT3 Cup Porsches.

My a/c compressor vibrates like crazy at 2100 rpm (every gear and with clutch in). Turn it (compressor) off... no vibration. My builder tells me that the cam I selected 230-236 comp cam XFI280 i the cause? I like to hear if anyone has ever heard of cam causing a vibration.
