Kyle is on 400/350.

Scott Dixon/Glen Hernandez were on the 5k/9k too.

I have karcept front bar, mann rear.

I'm going to give it a few more events but I think i'm going to try the 400s in back or maybe 450s and see how that goes. I haven't tinkered with too much for years so it gives me something to do. Plus I got a lift in my garage so stuff like this is a lot easier.

Trying rivals tomorrow at a bullshit local so I'll see how it feels with a little bit less grip vs the yoks.

Correct. I’m 400/350. Karcepts Bar, Mann Bar, Stock Diff.

I need more rear spring for aero on the track. I’ll try 450 and see how it does locally

Bullshit local was very fun. Was almost purely 3rd gear nonsense and the club uses 12" cones instead of 18" lol. Started out pretty scary loose but a quick bar change and a bit of knob twiddling and it felt real dialed.

We have a Packwood event this weekend (if enough people sign up and it doesn't get canceled) so we'll see how that goes.

So far, so good.

I'm not planning on Finale or Nats though I'm happier with my driving this year so might make a last-minute decision...

Steve - Peter and I are going to the Finale and Nationals if they have them, even if it's simply a glorified Champ Tour.

Nationals is super tempting. But I'll only have about 5 events in the car before then, and already really busy.

That is probably more events than a lot of people.

If we have it and I can make it, I'll be at 2 weekends.

Fingers crossed I can make it to my second event of the year in two weeks at the only site within 2 hours that's willing to allow an autox, was going to try for packwood and nats and the Crows tour/pro but that all went up in smoke, could've hauled up to packwood and made that my 2nd and 3rd event of the year, but I know myself, if I wasn't happy with how the car and I were working I would've been in a foul mood for at least a week before considering that I'd be spending a lot of money for the privilege to remind myself I'm mediocre lol.


Seriously considering toning it all down, throwing some soft GT coilovers on the car and buying a supercharger and just playing with XSA on the door, maybe buy a set of hoosiers for kicks and do a few local events as SM lite. I think I have to do a legit smog check this winter so the catalytic converter is going back on anyway.

You will prefer it after a while. Much better at killing any drone. Save weight above the axles. Save your ears below them.

i drove around the block to make sure there is no leaks and it sounds real good. according to my meter same volume. i realized this morning if i do get a bonus next year and do decided to go boosted and run in xsa the weight doesnt matter since im probably already below 2700lbs since the manual is listed at 2796 curb weight and my napkin math says im down over 100lbs. im half deaf with blown out ears so it doesnt matter much to me but i think my neighbors and wife will be happy

Cold start right after I put on the Gruppe-S UEL header. Stock FP.
