Also had fuel starvation again at T14-15 up the hill around the carousel if I wound out 4th gear at 3/4 tank. Last weekend at AMS it happened around the banking below 1/2 tank. Never happened before at AMP but the car is making more grip and pulling more lateral G's with the extra aero now. I could avoid it by short shifting into 5th and not winding out 4th gear above 6k rpms up the hill which killed my top speed and lap times. After topping off the tank with E85 it didn't starve again until 3/4 tank.

I fuel starved there as well. It really upsets the car when you are going that fast and suddenly have no throttle input. I worry about how many street miles those RE-71Rs are going to be good for. I want to see some reports on the new Kumhos as well. I am probably going to go for a stickier street rubber next time. My Michelin PSS have over 35 heat cycles on track and one 8 run AutoX, but they still feel good on track, but I am sure they have lost significant grip.
