This will be for daily driving and a bit of canyon carving. Track use will be almost non-existent on this car.

By the way, I can pretty much guarantee that the dip is not a placebo effect or imaginary (not sure what the actual numbers are, though), you can definitely feel it in day-to-day driving.
I think they've hit everything except B which we may see some positive results on with alternative configurations.

As for the placebo comment, I understand it is real. I'm just speculating based on gearing and rpm drop, not having driven one yet, that under 'soft' and 'hard' driving it wouldn't be too apparent.

Some insight on how it is noticed, and under what conditions, could help with figuring out a solution.
