Glad that GT4755 hybrid is working for you. Should make some killer power at the track.

I just call Jose and tell him my plans for each turbo. He nails it everytime.
We will find out this week on how it does.

Don,

Do you run double adjustables in the rear? What tire pressure on that pass? Front travel/pitch rotation looks perfect, I'm thinking you didn't have enough compression setting in the shock though maybe? Tire looked wadded up a bit only reason I ask.

Great numbers.

Got afco's. we were there for basic runs. Did minor adjusting. The run before rode on the bumper. We tightened the limiters to no travel and tightened compression, needs more but that was the last pass for the day.

Don,

Front end looked great IMO. Perfect! Were you full tight on compression in the rear?

1/8 did 5.5 at 134.

Compression is 3/4 tight. I know what needs to be done. Problem was we were testing alot of stuff and finally doing license passes. I'm also the one that does suspension setup,so I have to see the vid's to see whats going on. After seeing that I know what needs to be done.

Next time out we'll vid each run and I'll go from that.
