Dave,
I run out of 3rd gear in turn 3 and need to shift 3/4 of the way through..as you know, the rear is pretty loaded and I'd rather not unload it. I have been, but it does not seem right. Plus, I have to make another shift for 3B or whatever the sharp right hander is. I'm also out of my power band at the end going into turn 7 and into turn 1. I run 225/45/15's.
My times at BFR have dropped every time I've been there. My fast lap was 1:23.4, and I'm not getting everything out of the car. Quite frankly, I'm slow in the corners. Once I get to carry more speed through the corner, I'll be way out of gear. The 5.12 makes it a 4th and 5th gear track. I figure I'm better off keeping it 3rd and 4th with higher rev's. Not conventional thinking, but what the heck!
The car is up on a rack right now. Once I get it straight, I'll be able to corner balance and set it up even better. More seat time plus a better set up will lead to more speed. That plus the new exhaust, down to minimum weight and a few other goodies I will be adding should help get around. Oh yeah, I'll be adding a bitchin' new paint job too!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
Steve
