The debut with the new engine and chassis changes went better than expected. I came in 6th place out of 88 cars. http://lvrscca.org/race-results/auto...ound03_raw.htm I outgunned a ZO6, bad ass cobra with experienced driver, 2 new camaros by a mile, and a couple track champions. These old cars can handle boys.
The car was foreign to me from the git go. It had so much more power and right now. The throttle is now easy and long vs. short and hard. The rear sway bar took it from understeer to oversteer. It was to loose so I made some air pressure and shock setting changes and it helped. I didn't bother to adjust the rear bar. It needs tigtened up some for sure. I'll end up backwards at 100mph with it this loose. It really made maneuvring the cones easier as long as I was really on top of it. I still absolutely hate the brakes. The knockback is still excessive and I need to whip it. I really feel another second is in the car with capable brakes. It throws my timing off pumping the brakes.The best part was having my folks there. My Dad rode shot gun all but two runs and the ride there and home through the lake. My Mom showed up just in time for the last runof the morning and was shotgun for my fastest clean run. Great day and the car is waaaaay faster! Here is my best clean run with 2 more later.....
Very cool Todd! I agree it looks like you are hauling the mail. How big is your steering wheel? It's hard to tell but it looks a little on the smaller side. Maybe a little bigger might not tie/handcuff your hands too much? I don't know know, just asking because I have yet to buy a steering wheel and looking for feedback.
Thanks boys I have another video uploading that shows just how loose the car was. On the ragged edge for sure. I had both 5th gen owners ask for a ride. The first said he wanted to sell it and buy a real car. The second was real cool chick, she said I scared the living hell out of her. She actually pointed out a spot I could get faster, I was impressed and agreed.

Not sure but I'll measure it if you want. I wouldn't want faster steering so I think it's perfect. I'd say the DSE sub may be a little quick if anything. I'm happy with it. Watch my hands only in the video.
Here's the out of control video. I got greedy and it really shows how loose the car was today.
