Dude, you can do it with that setup on race gas, I'm sure. If you have the Ti retainers and what-not, you could go to 10500 and still make power(speculation). Brian said mine probably would have continued to make power up to that point.
Yeah the head has been fully worked plus the valves have been coated. I would prefer to make it on pump gas.

I'm just gonna run one pad this whole summer... Cobalt GT Sports. Eff the hassle of swapping race and street pads out.
Bill... I would advise you NOT to do that

I origianlly tried that with Porterfield R4S pads... and was dissapointed.

Go all out for the track... and switch back and forth, or get the pantherplus pads for all the time. Im telling you, its night and day.

the cobalts I have are a thousand times better on the the track than the stock pads... its awesome!

pump gas > race gas.....

especially since it's a daily driver..
