Quick update: after wrestling with the format of this all-encompassing optimization guide (how do I delve into an optimization guide while only addressing one particular path), I came up with writing an instruction manual for my car (I'm calling it "QuickSilver" basically because it can go from stock power up to 30v with a really cool turbo assembly that is almost completely polished or woven aluminum and I needed a name for the car and all its accessories). This thing is an EXTREMELY detailed so far (the section on the turbo unit itself is 2 pages) and delves into both general optimization (in what I call a "form integrity" or basically running with any mod so long as the motor is 130 and the body isn't cut) and optimizations particular to GPM/Zero Products-based cars. I'm including detailed sections on how the car is painted and how the remote is built (my remote has a turbo button for Lo throttle driving, custom molded rubber handle, and multi-paint paint job...I detail how to do every step). I am also including every DWG I've done, including the foam briefcase patterns for water/laser cutting and turbo heat sink as well as performance notes, parts weight comparisons, and general price lists. It's basically both a How-To-Build and Tune my car as well as a collection of every non-extreme tuning tip that I can think of. I'll be posting links to versions of it as I get it nearly complete (perf #s will be the only major holdup) for those looking for a formal, comprehensive XMODS guide.
