Got my auto-blip in yesterday! Install was pretty easy. After calibration it worked flawlessly! Cant wait to test it out on the track!

In the one photo, the C7 Z06 was giving you a wave by. Did that mean you were faster than him?

Would you mind describing the installation and calibration in a bit more detail? I don't want to bother you for a complete breakdown, just a general idea of how hard it was to find and link to the sensors and then to go through the calibration process. Thanks.

So installation is just tapping into signal wired on each the gas, brake and clutch pedal. Then one tap on a obd power wire. Its pretty simple.
The calibration is just as simple. once in calibration mode you just hold each pedal down and release while pressing the on/off button. Literally takes 1 minute.
Have only been able to drive it on the streets lately but This weekend I get to get on the track finally!
STAY TUNED FOR A 335/355 TIRE SET UP...

So wrapping is kinda difficult. Laying it flat and tight to start is key. Also a heat gun is a must. prep is very important otherwise all you hard work will not last the first wash. I would start with something small with curves and learn how to heat up the wrap to get it around the curves and edges. Watch some youtube videos and you be ok

Since you live in the Dallas area you should head with us to TMS the 3rd weekend in May. You do not have to be a part of our Lone Star Club to participate. But $50 to drive the one mile infield course all day is beyond worth it. We get to drive the oval too but the pace cars keep you having too much fun. You can sign up here is you need it:

So alot has changed with this car besides the 335/355 set up. It has a new 7.7 liter 468 in it along with 2'' headers and E85. New wrap lots of carbon fiber (hood Trunk oil cooling ducts) I typically dont like to share too much info as far as set up goes thats why you wont see me posting offsets

I've actually had mine on a track, too. New Jersey MSP. GREAT track! Very forgiving. I took the level 1 HPDE course. Got about 5 hours of track time on my Z. Hugely fun car to drive fast. I'm so fast in the straights, I actually had to pull over to let everyone else go by because I was total neophyte when it came to the turns and chicanes. Drove the car there, raced, drove it home. These are great cars...Drove my neighbor's '07 911 GT3. Not sure why it's $37K more than mine...Especially with it's 80lbs clutch...
