Bad Bish and a few quick dyno pulls with new stroker-amazing
Well I autocrossed it, it's a freaking handful of bad ***!!
My video from the weekend, just one run. I may put together more later but here's what I have so far.
Watch your volume, there is a bit of swearing in the thread, just once.

There were two Vette's there on slicks, three National level drivers driving the two cars. They placed 1-3 in the Autocross/slalom, they dominated. I believe the times for the autocross were 63-64 seconds. Tim, Slorice was there in his BR built/powered EVO, running a 2 liter with the HTA Green on 285-30-18 R6 Hoosiers and ran a 67.2 (believe that was the best posted time) Tim said he thought he had a 65.xx on his last run but the scoring showed 67.2 so maybe he hit a cone, his other three runs were 67, 68, 69.
I have another autocross this coming Saturday for the Sport Compact Race. My car is set up to do well at everything and NOT wear the tires out. So 0 toe all the way around, 0 camber in the back and 1.5 degrees in the front, not optimal for autocrossing. I am not making excuses, just pointing out facts. I plan to make some alignment adjustments and sway bar adjustment changes this week to get the car to handle better. Fact is it needs a good tire, you can't race against race tire equipped cars and expect to be in the same league.
I am happy enough with the power delivery but traction was a bit limited.

No hiccups, a bit of compressor surge though, I'm going to put a softer spring in the BOV before the weekend, it's on my list.
I'm not interested in setting the car up to do just drag or just autocross perfectly. I want it to do everything well so there are going to be some trade offs. The rear bar change I made hurt the car, not nearly as stiff as the ST bar I had on it. I also have the current bar set full soft, I'm going to stiffen it up this week and put a little camber in the front. My biggest complaint was the car pushed, so I need to get it back to rotating.

Dear Dave glad to see you try your hand at Autoxing 
Looked like a lot of fun , and quite the challenge.
But that car would be better suited for some HPDE , or time attack stuff .
Im kinda in your boat with the alignment we happen to have our own machine local here , it seems that for the ultimate in autox response with a balance of very little tire wear..
Front camber -2.1
Rear -1.0-1.3 <depending on how much rotation you want
And zero toe as that seems to really wear the tires,,, You would know best how this all would change your 60ft times at the strip though
Also spring rates have a huge effect on rotation for example 8k front 10k rear would help like you wouldnt believe especially with the tires you were running in the vid.
Once again im curious what that would do to your holeshot ,, fill me in?
