Since we are on the topic of tires, what do most of you guys run for an R-Compound tire? What are your favorites?

I think you are going to like them, David. I ran an old NT01R last year and they handles pretty good for my driving. At SP Main it gives me a lot of confident going WOT (flat out

I would imagine with the turbo I will be driving hard for a few laps and then taking a cool lap to keep the engine cool so it should help the tires, too. I just can't wait to get back on track!

I bet! Man, spring is coming up fast!
What event are you hoping to make first Dave?[/quote]
I haven't even looked yet. My one buddy is going to a PCA event the end of March. Maybe then? Depends on how the car does these next couple of weeks.

Yes, I have -2.5 camber or something closer front and rear. I don't think you would need thicker FSB if you run staggered, if your FSB is at mid or stiff settings you will more than likely understeer a lot. With -2.5 camber your front tire should not have bad camber wear if you stay 0 toe, my street tire wears pretty evenly.

fixed for you Ron
I HATE trying to change my oil with my supercharger. I think it may be time to get a dedicated bung welded on so I don't have to deal with this stupid oil return in the drain hole.
Matt, where did you get your oil pan baffle? Let me know when you find someone to weld yours as I should probably get one too even though they scare me.

If you can stomach a $600+ oil pan, I would buy the spoon pan. I looked at all of them and it definitely looked like the best design. On principle alone, I am not paying $600+ for a oil pan. I bought a NBIB oil pan off ebay for $100 and a $70 baffle plate.
