I run a big intercooler with no issues. Iceboxes are more of a drag race thing.

For rear spring rates I like 200 lb/inch with the DSE set up. Ok for the street and Ok for the track. A lot of the Goodguys AutoX crowd have moved to around 400 lb/inch. If you want to do well in AutoX then make the car real stiff.

I went in between. I pulled the 250s off and went with 325. What are you running in the front with the supercharger weight? I currently have 550lbs

I run 550s lb/in in the front. If you put 325 lb/in on the back then my swag not knowing your rear sway bar would be 700 lb/in. On the new Rival S 1.5 with the correct shock valving that is close to what the DSE track cars have on them.

They ride like crap on the street BTW. I trey that setup in Gunner and hated it.

My (soft) set up on Gunner won the Motorstate Challenge road course segment for Vintage last year. I lost the AutoX because you need the 315 tire on the front for AutoX to do real well. And you need to practice AutoX which I don’t do.

Good luck

Do you still have any sets of the C&R 40mm thicker bricks and spacer from JA 2.0 you’d like to sell? I know a guy looking for a set.

Sorry sold the last set 10 months ago.

Mark, what does your soft setup consist of? (Tires, springs, etc.) especially when taking a trip like on the GoodGuys Tour. A soft ride would be much better on a tour like this.

Mark,
Each project is a chance to refine something or try something new. Obviously this is the LT5 version, but what other ideas are going into this car that's different from the last?

It stays full too... Mark's a wealth of information and I bet he can't keep up with the influx of all of us picking his brain for his knowledge.[/QUOTE]
