I understand what you're saying about tire pressure. I eluded to the same thing yesterday but I try not to be very pushy. It's his car. It's a heavy car (which is likely going to like more pressure). If it's biting (which it did), obviously he should only adjust one thing at a time to avoid clouding results.

If he put 90/10s on the front to help hold it up, WOT shifted the 1/2 with 14-16psi in the tires, and adjusted the rear shocks for optimal bite I bet the car would drop quite a bit off the ET.

Not sure of the history between those two, but coming from the outside, his condescending remarks about him being the best driver in the world were uncalled for. Which is the reason I even said anything. At the end of the day the other guy was faster than him. Who the **** cares why or how he was faster?
At every opportunity he is given, it seems.

Well it's sitting in about 2384992374 different pieces in 3 separate counties.
Hopefully I can track everything down, put it back together, and make a few passes before I'm wearing a T-shirt someone from LS1tech comes up with...

I've enlisted the help of a dwarf, elf, hobbit, and a gray wizard to help me.

I've gotta start no lifting the car again..I lift halfway sometimes during shifts, but now that the tranny is built I just need to give it hell. It didn't like going into third but I think adjusting the master helped that out towards the end of the day. I should've lowered pressure, especially towards the end there, but it is what it is. I'll be out next Sunday doing the same weather permitting...and I'll change it as necessary.

I just got a PM from someone (not going to make a spectacle of them) who said I doctored the footage because the time was only up for a split second and it was grainy.

Seriously guys? We're still on this ****?
Hopefully this shot is clear enough for you...
Be sure to watch it in 1080 full screen

I did the best I could without zoom .. If anyone doubts it, I was there and I can confirm the pass is legit.
