USP Motorsports is pleased to announce that we have recently acquired a Porsche 997 Turbo 6-speed. This vehicle will be used primarily for product development, testing, and tuning. We are looking forward to becoming more active in the 997 community and contributing our research to the public. We will be testing and providing results for all upgrades performed to the car. Any performance products installed will be tested on our in-house dyno to show actual real world gains. Stay tuned for more!!

USP Motorsports routinely corner weight and balances the vehicles of our track enthusiast and spirited driving clients. Corner-balancing is simply adjusting the car so there’s an equal amount of weight on all four tires. When it comes to road course racing, the ideal cross weight percentage is 50 percent. This makes the cornering force balanced from left to right and offers the best performance overall. However, it is not that common to see vehicles meeting this demand due to the driver offset or factory weight distribution.

Each individual application can be custom tailored for different tracks, or better drag racing setups to help improve traction. We adjust and balance the vehicles at USP Motorsports using Longacre computer scales, with an individual scale under each tire. The actual adjustments to the vehicle are made via the coilover suspension and in some cases, distribution and relocation of weight such as batteries or fuel cells, etc.

If you are interested in getting your vehicle weighed or balanced, call and make your appointment today.

Mounting and balancing serives now available in house!

USP is now pleased to offer tire mounting and balancing services in house. State of the art tire mounting and dismounting is accomplished via our Hunter TC3500. This machine gives us the ability to mount wheels ranging from 13″ to 26″ in diameter and 4″ to 15″ in width. We are also able to mount those tricky low profile tires, with profiles as low as “20″.

Along with our tire mounting capabilities we also offer state of the art tire balancing. Our Hunter GSP 9700 tire balancer is equipped with “Roadforce” to ensure a smooth vibration free ride at any speed and on any roadway. Tired of you car pulling to one direct even after you get a 4 wheel alignment? Well, USP has the answer. Our Hunter GSP 9700 is also equipped with “Straight Trak” technology. This allows us to evaluate each wheel and tire, and then position it on the car accordingly to eliminate that stubborn pull when you let go of the steering wheel.

We’ve been working on a lot of Porsche parts lately. It helps to have a shop test bunny that we can do what we want to. There is a great story on this car, being that it’s the very first Porsche Turbo to successfully be converted to running on what we like to call Corn Fuel – better known as e85. The car is making just over 700whp and is completely reliable. Those of you that are familiar with e85 fuel know the distinct advantages of it – price, environmentaly friendly, smells good , and the crazy power you can get out of it. With those advantages you also deal with the fact that not ever gas station has e85 – YET… and it’s also harder on engine oil. But I am OK there as I am using Mobil 1 0w-40 and have seen no issues with the oil breaking down at all while using this fuel and at this HP rating.

We did a post on 6speedonline that goes into more detail. Check it out here – http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/996-turbo-gt2/162819-1st-700whp-corn-fed-e85-porsche-we-like-call-her-corn-horse.html
