What autocross class are you running?

from digging through the rule book I'll be able to be in SSM (super street modified) but i'm going to have some friends that race check it out to make sure there's nothing i missed in the rules or any tricks i can use

I'd try to get some adjustment in your suspension. Consider Tri-point front sway-bar and maybe some adjustable shocks with adjustable height for corner weighting. Something like Ground Control. Coil-overs will also give you more room for tire.



And I'd save my money on that MS PPF.

the car already had the ms PPF when i bought it as well as well as having the tokico adjustable shocks and racing beat springs. i'm actually looking at getting the racing beat front and rear sway bars as well as the front sway bar brace. everything listed is already on the car with the exception of the roll cage, which i'm still waiting to arrive

your current setup imho will prove to be better on the road course than autocross...

you will find the single turbo to be not as 'responsive' on a technical course as you would on stock twins..

for either application.. the concentration should first be placed on suspension geometry and tires before power..

im runnin the stock rear sway bar with rb fronts and found it sufficient..

ive always suggested doin mods individually.. hard to 'dial in' when modifying in chunks.. not to mention troubleshoot..

i'm confused, i thought road courses and autocrosses were just about the same? are they different scca divisions that i missed or what? as per the suspension and tires, there's a lot of work i'm doing on that, i need to find someone who's good with tuning the shocks. there are a lot of corvette roadracers where i live so i may be able to talk one of them into helping me out.

i'll check out red river raceway in wichita falls. funny i never heard anyone talk about it when i was home, but found it thanks to the roadracing links on here :P

Both are sanctioned by SCCA, but much different.

While road courses vary between venues, they are at much higher speeds and transitions are much more gradual. Autocrosses are held in relatively small venues, big parking lots etc. They are very tight, much lower speeds and with quick transitions....."Technical". With Autocross, usually only one or two cars are on the course at a time in staggered fashion. And they run against the clock, not each other. The nature of the autocross course frequently gives an advantage to the twins over larger singles because they have better power at low speed/rpm.

BTW, if you would have described that paint scheme for the engine I don't think it wouldn't have sounded all that good. But seeing it...it looks really nice.
