Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ok so it’s done

[Peter Rychel (dino308gt4]

Congrats cLyDe. I find your comments about the reduced heat surprising. Considering the manifolds are bare, that heat will just radiate off of them. I asked you some time ago if you were going to ceramic coat them. I’ll look forward to hearing how the shake down runs performed.

The car is complete 

We are doing shake down runs now and so far no issues whatsoever 

The additional horsepower is about 125 rear wheel 

So I am looking at 575 give or take 

I was getting 18 mpg on the road in stock trim 

I will be doing 1100 miles on the way home and will check mileage to see if there is a difference 

The big thing no heat under the hood car runs cooler across the board

And the engine breathes much better,it’s almost electric.

If you’re not careful you will hit the rev limiter! 

When in 6 th gear steady throttle an down shift to 4 th then back up to 6 th 

The nose of the car jumps, I shit you not!

To be honest I am now afraid to use full throttle, it’s brutal acceleration!

I can break it loose in 3rd gear no problem 

Hope you enjoyed the pictures 

This was not an easy endeavor at all, taking off the stock exhaust manifolds was prison work! 

I have never worked so hard on a car, ever!
