You're running 17 psi on the stock turbo? Or did you make the jump to something bigger.

Are you just playing it safe by keeping the boost low? Are you still on the factory boost control or are you using a manual boost controller?

Do you run pump gas at track days or race gas? Race gas gets expensive for an entire day? You should bring that car up to the Miller track in Utah next year!

I am playing it safe.... I could have turned the boost up. TME or white rabbit is on my wishlist for next year.

I run 100oct at the track.. usually runs about $175 for three 30min sessions.

thx for the invite, I'll check it out!!

I'm that way also. I run 100 out at the track, but I turn the boost down to about 19psi. Sometimes I think, "man it would be fun to run 24 pounds", then I realize I don't want a blown motor for slightly faster lap times.

Nice video and you are pretty consistent on your apexes. I noticed you take some early turn-ins for a faster exit speed. Some of those Vipers looked like they were standing still. Wonder how experienced those guys are... they must think buying a Viper will make them a faster driver automatically. Usually not true. Question about your suspension: are u running coilovers; if so, can you share the spring rate and rear-sway bar setting? I used to run my S4 at Motorsport Ranch (Dallas/Ft.Worth, TX) and currently trying to prep the EVO for it Thx!

that was the advanced run group I was running with.

In both video clips I am pretty much messing around trying different lines, seeing how they work.

Got DMS 50mm's on the car with 25mm rear sway bar at stiffest setting. Cant remember spring rates right now but Robi can chime in on that.
