Default Teinflex at high speed

They are having a measured mile run out at the miami dade training airport. I'm curious to see how fast I can go.

My car is dropped a half an inch and corner balanced. I run a teinflex setup. Where would you recommend I set it at both front and back?

I'm on SO2's, any tire pressure recommendations would also be appreciated .


Thanks

I would probably just set keep them at whatever setting you are comfortable and familiar with. The Flex are too stiff when 5 clicks or less so I would probably go with ~8-9 clicks front and ~10-11 clicks in the rear. You want hot pressures in the high 30s/low 40 so I would set cold pressures at around ~31 front and ~28 rear.

You should not really need any special settings for this. Just double check that your tires and brakes are in good working order. Oil level ok? Make sure your top is securely fastened.


Hmmm.... figure it will take about 1/4 mile to get to 100 mph. On my home track SP, I enter a 1/2 mile straight at about 85 mph and end up at about 135 mph at the end of the straight. The S2000 feels fine running at ~135. So I figure you will be hitting about ~140 at the 1/2 mile mark. You will spend the last 1/2 mile trying to get from 140 to 150. Take it easy braking down from those speeds (no sudden or hard braking inputs).
