Guess I'll take this down a different path. I've successfully avoided it for two reasons:

1. I do DE's purely for fun and enjoy the downtime between sessions. I'd rather not spend the weekend...

I think Mike is interested to know what kind of caliper temps others are seeing. Fresh ATE fluid has a boiling point of 512 (I think)...so, even with a measurement of 450, I'd think you'd be OK. ...

Khumo Victoracers get my vote. Good bang for the buck and great stick for the occasional DE'er. Supposedly they stay sticky right to the cords.

Sounds like you've got a handle on things but.....don't rely on the 2.2k ohm setting. I ended up having to set mine at about 5.9k ohm to achieve a stable idle. With it set low, it was...

Hmmm. I agonized long and hard before parting with the $$$ to put a 993 engine in my Carrera. I drove some 993's, 996's, and 986's....all of which would have cost me less than I now have in my 911,...

Yes, there's a thermostatically controlled fan on the stock Carrera cooler. I thought I'd leave it alone and avoid having to install an aftermarket switch in the car. The fan I'm using only draws...
