How often are you going into 6th on track?

You must be on the short list of people having good luck with both a 2.3 stroker and a 6-speed transmission over time.

Talking to Marty who's also a regular road racer he went even softer then I and I watched him pull on the mustangs ripping out of the same corner which of course leads to a straight. Then we go to places like Sebring which is broken concrete so hard springs equal bad things. Mind you this is on DOT's.

With slicks, especially if your gonna go more narrow, I think 15/17 would be a happy medium. My slick setup is 12/14






I duno i struggle with massive body roll in my thing. it dives way too much on the front and squats too hard on the rear. I run like 40mm rake front to rear and it still looks like the bum is squatting at high speeds down the straights and the front is up in the air.

Im thinking its my shocks which have ****ty valving in them and cannot be re valved. hopefully Dallas' Ohlins will sort out alot of my issues here with bodyroll as its well over sprung now and just bouncy.

Look here to see the body roll i get in a turn: (sorry photo uploader on here isn working )

And on a straight how much it squats.

That makes much more sense. I was questioning everything I knew about Evo transmissions last night.

Are you still running the same 2.3 motor?

Haha Ya you've overspent on most everything and way underspent in the shock department lol. Tien, 600+hp, and sequential is like putting the AllBlacks rugby team on an ice lake with socks on I had custom KW 2 ways as soon as I went to 100tw tires for regular track days circa 2007 lol.

Was one of the first things I did to my car. Won't really have any effect in any area but it's one less thing to fail, and removes some weight.

I sandwiched a block off plate under the EGR, since I live in CA and have to pass a smog visual. I haven't noticed any difference in performance or MPG. Actually, I have no clue of what my car does related to MPG, so I'm not the right person to comment on that

Thought it was smiles per mile?

Kyoo- another reason to get rid of your EGR is from a simplistic approach. The vac lines behind the IM are notorious for popping off. Less vac lines less chance for leaks. #Profit
