Yeah, that particular BOV was garbage as far as track day is concerned. It would cause the car to jerk around under partial throttle and the last thing you want going around a high speed, sweeping turn is an unsettled car. Since switching to the metal IX BOV, the car is as smooth as butter...

But you'll have problems boosting past 27psi at some point. Keep an eye out for an APS bov or the new COBB bov.

Good call on dialing in your tire pressures and softening the rear bar.

Do you have the WL roll center kit?

Yes, I've got most all of the Whiteline "goodies" installed. I was really baffled that first day...in hindsight it's amazing what kind of havoc that a faulty tire pressure gauge can cause!

I've got the front bar sitting in the garage still and contemplating getting it installed over the winter and stiffening the rear to medium setting to see how that feels...

Just checking, the front looked a little low but you should be fine with the RCK.

Had a great time. I was definitely blowing some of my lines when you were behind be. Was trying a little to hard

I think I need a few more mods on my car running only 1 deg neg camber on stock 100k struts with Tein springs. Hope to at lest get -2deg camber in the front for my next time out.

Yeah, you can really see the less than ideal alignment in this picture....not horrible but a little extra camber should help until you get a stiffer all-around suspension setup.
