We just had the car out for the first time this past weekend. Logged lots of data and we are crunching through it.

The stock track pack springs are way too soft but it is what we have to run per T2 Rules. We have a lot of other ways to test to deal with the soft springs.

We logged oil pressure and it is downright scary without the Acusump. PSI dropped down to 18lbs in several spots on the track. Even with the Acusump PSI dropped to 28lbs. Seems quick transitions are hard for the stock pan to manage. Again T2 rules mandates we use the stock oil pan.

Fuel slosh is also a big concern. We logged instant fuel level and LH turns kills fuel pick up.

We also had a hard time meeting minimum sound. The track we were at has a very low and very strict policy for sound. Thanks to Fireball and his stock muffler we were able to continue testing.

The driver did have a lot of fun with the car and it was the envy of the paddock.

Graphics should be done this week.

First race is in two weeks. Still lots of work to do. I will post more after the first race.
