camber settings F/R?

I'm sure a nice solid fender roll was in order.

I sent you a PM btw.

Where are these drag numbers?! I am anxiously waiting, that tune you gave it looked amazing by the way. Good Job!

I took it to the track but I am not happy with the times. The stock catback while not restrictive for one dyno pull, over the course of a few pulls is (ie: running down the dragstrip). So half way down the track my car would only make 14psi of boost slowing the et and hurting mph. I am sure once I put a catback on it will be much faster.

With that being said I still ran a 12.35 @ 109.8mph

I also moved up from the 265's to 285's in preparation for next years One Lap of America.

Tires are 285/30/18 Advan AD07's mounted on 18 x 10 +38 Enkie RPF1's

Car is lowered and corner balanced on a 8k/10k set of BC coilovers.




Awesome! Another happy BC Racing owner.

Have you guys ever tried the RCE T2s?

Cool! I owned the BCs before the T2s and am anxious to see how yours handle the track and One Lap since I never got a chance to run mine on a real track. Keep up the updates, I heard how stinking fast your 08 is at the track from someone who isn't even in the community. Something about beating prepped Porsche race cars.
