The F430 Scuderia has always been my favorite car to work on. This week I replaced the headers. Custom titanium with ceramic wrap. Took her out toward the Jebel.

Logged temps via OBD while pushing in 42°C ambient heat. No heat soak in the intake. Manifold temps plateaued under 890°C, which was expected, but what surprised me was the responsiveness. There was less hesitation under partial throttle and smoother decel pulses on downshifts.

This isn't about cars. It's about precision. I work on my own vehicles for the same reason I write my own attribution scripts. When you know how things are built, you trust the output. And when something feels off, you catch it before the rest of the system does.

Tuning isn't about speed. It's about alignment.
