Hello all, I'm hoping to get some advice on upgrades for my 2001 986S. It's my weekend car, with 80% of my driving in the canyons and doing 100-200 mile drives with my car club. I've started the tracking the car more, running in the novice groups at Streets of Willow, Big Willow, Buttonwillow and AAA Speedway.

So far I've had no issues- I'm driving to the track, running my sessions, and driving home. Currently running PS4s on 18'' twists. Completely stock set up, minus GT3 brake ducts. It does have the M030 option.

If I plan on sticking with the stock setup, is it advisable to get an oil baffle solution or would that really only be useful if I'm running slicks or something like Cup 2s? IMS is done per the previous owner, currently has 90k miles and runs like a dream. Is there anything else I can do to help with reliability?

Thank you!
