If you guys aren't doing anything, come out to the Lancaster brewery to meet Chu and me.
I'm waiting on him now. I should known to be purposely late. I forgot who I was meeting.
This week consists of two days breweries and three days of Chu.
Who's coming to yards on Friday?

Yup, with my spring rates the stock bars work best. If I was running a stock set up or not to aggressive springs I would definitely have my Perrin Bar on. I came to this conclusion while in the bathroom reading the book below.
I ordered a book called Carroll Smith's Engineer in Your Pocket
A practical guide to tuning the race car chassis and suspension
It lists things as cause and effect so you can look up in the book what your car is doing (like understeering for example) and he give's you ways to remedy the problem. I have found it helpful and a great tool to help me understand my car. It was $20 or $25, I highly recommend it for anyone interested in setting up a car's suspension.

I was referring to me getting beat by myself by knowing what to do but constantly not doing it when the time comes. this sport is just as much mental as it is physical.

^ Thats some Redneck **** right there! Thats talent. saw the Honda fail on Jaloplink a few days ago, love how he blamed the chick for turning the wheel 
I found another video, a college student's thesis project. The Kiesals were at Nationals last year. That green sprite that she drives and then they show the Kiesal master doing work at the end of video, that car is ridic fast! Seeing it in person was unbelievable.

speaking of Nationals, here's video someone made last year, some Philly region members were shown, not me because of my high level of suck (though I did get a picture in the back of Grassroots, it was the next issue pictures).

My car is prepped for BSP, so stock internals and turbo. I have JM Fabrication intake and exhaust manifolds. I run Forge BOV, MBC and WGA. Car has a Walboro fuel pump, AEM fuel rail, Aeromotive FPR, SparkTech COP unit. The car was built and tuned by Evo8dad (Adam Fuhs).
The suspension is Ohlin Flag coilovers. I did my own alignment with the help of some friends. I must give thanks to my fellow competitors Corey Ridgick, Jon Winchester for the spring rates and alignment settings. All I have changed since I got that info was the ride height. All the info I got from them seems to work well on my car.
I would say 3 years development basically to get it where its at now, but ever since this years test and tune with Eric Simmons guiding me, we got some awesome Ohlin Flag settings to run. That has made the car in the end, totally settled it down and makes it easy to drive. So the combination of things was the key, without one or the other it would not work. Some of the things I have done to the car were not necessary to make it perform in the class I am in, but you know how it goes, trial and error.
Owe, and I run the corn too....

Somebody needs to jump on these asap. I'll vouch for them myself.
