Well I put the new slicks on for the last T&T of Edgewater last year, and they have 12 runs on them including last Saturday. But I've never been able to 60' in the 1.5xx's at Tristate, only Kilkare and Edgewater have I been able to do his.

The conditions were actually way better last Satuday than when I ran my personal best at Edgewater last year but my 60' time was .06 hundredths off at 1.63. So to answer your question yeah they work I just gotta adjust launch rpm, strut settings, and tire pressure a bit more when I'm at Tristate.

So do you find yourself having to tighten up the suspension or lossen when at Tri state?? More or less tire pressure?

Well the first two passes the struts were on "2" the last two passes I put 'em on "5", I had the same tire pressure and launched off the shift light with almost identical 60' and et's within several hundredths.

I think I should've lowered the launch rpm, Tristate has pretty much been hit or miss on the track prep but each time out is different. Edgewater and Kilkare seem to be more track prep oriented but hey that's why it's T&T......it's fun to figure out stuff to a certain extent.

I know but isn't it aggravating to let the car cool down, and lauch it and have to make more adjustments?? Guess thats part of the game. I am going to have to figure out what my car likes after I get all the suspension parts and see what the converter likes

Yeah you got it man but here soon as you said you'll be doing the same thing, especially when you start using the trans brake!
