DA was in the +1200 range throughout the night, and track prep was so-so (definitely not MIR in the fall).
I picked up a few things this winter (4.56 gears, diff 3rd link poly bushing, steeda cmdp's, prothane shifter busings, adj rear sway bar), and only managed to install the sway bar and shifter bushings. CMDP install and race tune is scheduled with JPC late May. I'll probably wait until the fall to install the 4.56's.
whiteline rear sway bar
I've been considering a race anti-roll bar, but I'm not yet ready to commit to welding tabs for the downlinks to the axle tubes, so I chose this route to experiment. At worst I can remove it and sell it. I was pleased to see the whiteline bushings are now black, instead of yellow. The downlinks were anodized gold, so I painted them black to blend in.
Aside from the rear sway bar, no changes to the suspension setup this outing: front struts full loose, rear shocks +7, rear tire pressure 15psi, launching off the limiter at 6500 rpm (car 11, right lane). Given the DA and so-so track prep, I'm ok with the results.
The car in the left lane was a 2014 camaro SS 1LE; found his setup on another forum. Beautiful car that sounded nasty, but >500rwhp/tq on street tires is less than optimal...
I'm probably done until the fall - our kids sports start next week and my free time will be non-existent.
