Completely un-related to the Engine, but I think you might have a bad shock. It looks like the bounce isn't being controlled very well (I would guess drivers rear). Just something to check. Sounds healthy!

Yes, you see a bit of this in the "Video of your S on Track" thread as well, with his video labeled "Damper Testing".

Dampers were just rebuilt the other season, new seals and oil. This circuit is bumpy as f**k, coupled with 1000 lb/in spring rates, makes for a bumpy ride in some sections.

Not driving it and hard to tell from a video, but it didn't seem to hit the bump and just stop. It looked to be bouncing. But I could be wrong.

It's because it's bump after bump after bump. For that track... It looks smooth. lol

The video is really deceiving - that suspension is magical in person

The track surface there is horrible. There are washboard areas everywhere, along front straight, after turn 1, apex of turn 2, and so on. So yah, as the guys above mentioned, it's one bump after another, so the suspension never gets a chance to settle.

On another note, I just received the Urge Unicorn header today. I'm dropping it off for ceramic coat tonight. Should be ready end of the week.

Trust me guys, it pains me to cover this beauty with ceramic. But like taxes, it has to be done for the greater good

I have a few more pics I will upload when I have time
