Default Wild ride in my LS Daytona (autocross)

My 2nd event with the new setup went much better. The higher power level can be a handful. On this run I had too much rear brake bias which made for a pretty wild ride. By the end of the day I was on par with the best I had ever run with the old motor. I took 1st in XP and was 3 seconds off of FTD.

Yes most autocross is run in 2nd. Only the S2000's and WRX's will shift to 3rd on faster courses. I run 3.55's which gives me enough top speed to stay in 2nd without hitting the limiter on most courses.

Stop thinking about it and just do it! They will take good care of you when you show up and identify yourself as a newbie.

looked like a pretty fast course. 3 sec is actually a big gap on the autox course but awesome run.
