I think they might have less expensive sytems without the display.. check the Rackpak site.
It just occured to me there are probably apps out there for the Iphone 4 with its GPS and accurate accelerometer that can possibly give me a taste of what its like. I'm off to do some searches lol.

It's in the preview so I'm pretty sure it's in the show..

I was really off my game this weekend.. couldn't get in the groove.

And yea, we haven't messed with even half of the stuff.. UCA offset slugs, shock settings, bar settings.. Now that the powerplant is finalized we can dial in the rest.

Oh, front neg camber is 1.5ish.. we can flip the dogbones for another degree and then shim back to what we want. No need to go crazy since my solid bushings mean zero deflection so it is what it is all the time.

A stiffer bar with these shock settings killed me at Optima...

I surround myself with smart people so I'm sure this will get figured out. lol
Steve,
I think the current bar will go soft enough, I'd raise the watts one hole, and soften front shock rebound. We really need to run some events or test days and make adjustments. - More neg camber plus lowering the inner pivot "slugs" on the frame for the upper A arms should help neg camber gain a lot.

The brake chatter went away after a few hard stops. I think it was pad material pickup on the rotors that finally got scrubbed off.
