I dont plan on listing all their mods when they can be easily researched by looking at their sigs. Just look at ttp website and look at warrs sig. There ya go. Any questions?

Tire pressure can affect your time if not set correctly, check that also. I dont think you have to drive like Mario, But "Super Fast Shifting Skills Yo" Aren't always required. Adjust your clutch and let us know how it goes.

I would suggest lifting the gas in the 3-4 shift. 1-2-3 are fairly easy to NLTS, but 3-4 is a real ***** and you are just going to ruin your synchros. If you can NLTS 1-2-3 I sincerely doubt your clutch needs adjusting.

I adjusted the clutch the first day I bought the car cause it was grabbing all the way up top.
I will keep everyone posted, at the shoot out I had no time to f*** with car cause I was hot lapping on a 90+ day.
As for the tire pressure what should I run? I was running 40 psi all around. In the VW world of the R32 quarter mile I found that running high pressures the car had much quicker times, so that is what I did with the Evo.

I don't know him, the car, or anything else other than someone was asking for help so I listed what wasn't. Just tryin' to help him be thorough.

run the highest tire pressure you can without spinning out of the hole. usually I run more in the fronts then the rear
