It'll be interesting to see how things go during the summer both around town and at the track. I'll keep the pyrometer in the glove box!

In any event, the steering feel was solid and consistent. The main thing fo me is that I'm trying to avoid a big PS fluid blowout at the track. The Redline fluid seems to take these kind of temps with no issues.

Question:

Installation of a Vortech supercharger require the relocation of the PS pump and modification to the existing line. Would I be able to use a line such as this rather than modifying my existing line?
