Awesome! Bean field lol, glad no damage or walls to hit. Ill leave the racing to you! haha

[Kracka]

Very nice! Glad to hear your temps were rock-steady!

[SlowWhite]

Very nice and glad to hear wasn't a wall you hit too.

LOL @ bean field. Glad it wasn't anything harder that you ran into.

Why do you think the spoiler being higher would help? To get more air to it? I would think if you increased the angle to get more airflow across it, it would help keep the rear end down at higher speeds.

It's below the roof line, in this slow/turbulent air going across the flat rear deck. Raising it up 2" into clean airflow will really add some downforce. Several wind tunnel tests done to show how poor the low stock height is for functionality.

OR, I could do a fastback conversion :) for mega bucks though:

Forgot to mention, it ate up maybe 1/3 qt of oil in 4 sessions, so 80 minutes of racing. In my last session on the long left sweeper I noticed my oil pressure would flicker as I got into the higher rpms exiting the turn. I was told to be careful on long lefts because they can oil starve. It was at the min line on the dipstick. So next time I have to bring oil with to top off between sessions, and I decided I'm going to do the oil pan baffles mod.

[Halon]

Do you have a catch can full of oil or is it burning oil?

[Speedfreak]

Anyone overfill a quart when tracking those? Reasonably common to do so on other makes. Not for oil consumption, but for oil starvation due to sloshing etc (no baffles).

[cmspaz]

I bet those bean plants were softer than tires and concrete. Going off is a learning experience for sure.

Oil pan baffles are definitely a good plan if there's a starvation risk and they are fairly available.

[asshanson]

Well, it turns out I have the latest model oil pan (there were a couple revisions), and mine already has a bunch of baffles, I just need to keep it at the full line and there should be no problems.

I have figured out my winter plans. Going to convert from the standalone MBE ECU to a Ford ECU, should improve driveability, this is what the Rossions came with, I just need a couple parts and the Rossion harness for the conversion. Going to Ohio sometime next Spring to do the conversion over a weekend. Also going to upgrade the GT28R's to the newer billet GTX2860 compressor wheels, should allow for more power since the GT28's top out around 18psi/500whp.

Also converting to E85 to max out the turbos and hoping for around 22psi and 550whp. I think I'll be the first Noble on E85, most of them have an aluminum tank, but I have an E85 safe fuel cell and all SS fuel lines so it should only require larger injectors, maybe swap out to my E85 filter as well.

Badass!!
