Track guys: What would you like to see CSG test?
 
Open ended question.

I'll take the popular submissions up with the boss.

Seems like not a whole lot of people turbo-ing at the track. I know you guys are testing the JR supercharger, but maybe a turbo as well?

I'd be interested in seeing aerodynamic parts on the front and rear of the car and their impact on lap times. The Voltex rear wing would be a good start to see what it does alone, and then again compared with some aero help in the front.

Don't forget a proper diffuser as well!

i'd like to see the car on a set of high end coilovers, tuned perfectly for the car, but at OEM ride height. No 3rd party aero.

I'm convinced that modiying the springrate slightly for balance, while maintaining a long damper travel with state of the art dampening will yield a grippy car (if driven right) assuming street tires and no aero.

second the turbo idea, just to see how it holds up compared to the JR kit, and then some real world aero testing.

I'd like a good track tire comparison with data (got an AIM solo or something?)

I'd be interested as well in aero parts, specifically a rear diffuser and front air splitter.

splitter and aero testing, whatever the most inexpensive BBK is right now and if a vented hood is better than a radiator and oil cooler

what does that even mean

do you have questions about caliper quality? brake pad quality? heat soak?

people say BBK like it's just that one thing that you do and everything becomes amazing, when there are tradeoffs and in some cases unneeded expenses if you figure out what you actually need to have done.

second for the vented hood test. really interested in the new hood from rk sport.

This is precisely why I went with a turbo in my car and in the past 4 months, it's been tested quite a bit on track (over 10 track events in that time). Mike has a good amount of seat time in my car both for development and competition (he finished 3rd in the Street RWD class in the last GTA/Super Lap Battle Finale using my car). If you have specific questions, I'm sure he can answer many of them.

Also now that the CSG car is running the JR SC kit, we should have many good days to compare SC vs. Turbo on the same tracks on the same days.

@ImperiousRex: I have passenger seat time in your car. :D

How much power would you say you lose from the start of the lap to the end of the lap with that turbo?
