With your last note, are you planning on running CS all year or considering bumping down to DS?

FWIW, I think part of the 60ft gap was the tires. I ran the Rival S (1.0) on my STU 350Z and noticed they didn't launch or brake as well as the Stones. Their strength was in lateral grip and allowable slip-angle. The 1.5's still have the lateral grip and have closed the gap on transitions vs the Stones.
I was able to stay in the top of the tach with second gear on that course and only spent a little time on the limiter. That had to put the ND's in a tight spot with their gearing.
They probably had an advantage in the transitions, and they seem to have put some time on me at launch, but rowing the gears can be a real PITA and I think that's where they were stuck.
A little OT but another data point for people considering removing the TRD parts:
I drove a well-prepped DS FR-S on our local test and tune track and paxed my TRD car with a single run. Not by much, but I did 6 runs in my car before the DS run. Me vs Me, I can't cover the DS pax with my CS twin.
