Default Set up for ESP?

Ok, this year I am going to try out autocross for the first time, since I have an after market clutch, I will be in ESP, so what would everyone suggest to do within the rules of this class? Right now I have a Lid, Pro 5.0, RAM clutch, wires and plugs of course (MSD and TR55's respectivly), K&N, SLP y-Pipe, Randomtech cat back, and I think that's about it, keep in mind it is a 1LE, any help is greatly appreciated!

Income tax money will be gone before I get it! LOL

The absolute first mod for autocross is tires!
The cheapest way for you to get competitive is to mount 265-45R16's Kuhmo Victoracers on stock wheels, re-install the factory air lid and run F Stock. Since the 1LE has a competitive advantage over other F-bodies in F Stock, that's what I would do. If you keep it quiet, no one will care about your RAM clutch.

Or, if you really want to run ESP, fork over the dough for 17"x11" wheels with 315-35R17 Hoosiers, and run them on all four corners. Running anything less in ESP is just not taking full advantage of the rules.

1LE I know someone that is selling a heat cycled set of R1's. If you want me to hook you up let me know.

They are all on 16x8 stock T/A wheels and are 255/50/16's if I'm not mistaken.
