I say this with not having tracked the SW20 due to kids taking up all my time. I could go to the track, just tough to swing that much time in a row.
Amen.

So yeah, trying to figure out how much of a "refresh" the car gets because I can't keep tracking it as is, comp is starting to drop a little on one cylinder, breathing a bit more, oil surge more often in corners due to going faster. This is my old CA18.

Hard to not want to do a basic rebuild if I remove the sump for breathing/oil mods - maybe just a spool kit, throw a 2860 on it and aim for a few extra kW, as much as the 460s will allow lol Maybe 220rwkw?

Annnnnd I've dropped another few grand on it if I do that...
