Now your assuming Im pulling all camber out-did I say I was going to run 0 degree camber in the rear? I'll likely stick with the 285's-meaning no crazy stagger. Leave it alone bro-no point in going back and forth...

I'm not trying to go back and fourth...I just don't understand what's fun about a car that spins through the first couple gears. I'll leave it alone. Each to their own. Enjoy your new setup.

thats why you make the choice to either hook up on the street or to handle in the turns, there is no happy medium with a high hp car....


i say, ditch the 19s and get some 305 BFG DRs for the street with no camber...


hehehe

Just wait 'till I get back to the mainland Bert... you'll change your mind. (J/K)

Like what was said earlier, it's more fun when you're not spinning as soon as you hit boost. I personnaly would get a smaller/wider wheel setup.

Good luck with that Charles^^please report back. I know Sharif recently messed with his alignment and he can now hook through most of 2nd and always in 3rd! He makes more power than me, but also runs 305's on the same 19's, there is hope without switching to 18's....

Thanks guys-Im likely going to wait for the end of the season to run, that way if I break something the car is going down for winter anyway, if I broke something now (axle/tranny/anything) Id be upset as I just got it back. Motor has 1300+miles on it, its already had 1 oil change, Im gonna do another this weekend (dino oil) then in another 1500 miles Im switching to Motul-->Sharif you know my address

I say make it handle better for the street and when you go to the strip your going to runn diff tires and wheels anyway. Make a fun car not just a straight line monster. Im sure its already fast in the straights.............really fast

Is your car out of the body shop yet? What were the final dyno numbers?

Thats what it sounds like on lower boost levels, 10psi and above it a LOUD woosh, which I like better...

My car has NEVER been set-up for drag racing, I just love to do it. JIC stiff coilovers and -2 degrees camber is no where near ideal for launching. I simply throw a set of slicks on and go to town. I could also throe another set of tires on an go do auto-x or road racing, its a balanced machine
