[QUOTE="wheelhopper, post: 10498246, member: 32430"] Looking for a way to gain a second or two in my lap times without taking points. I run TTD and am in tight competition with a friend of mine. On our first outing of the season I was running about a half second faster then him during every run. He runs a BMW 330 and has a lot of points to work with. I run a '90 GT and have 1 point. I know he is making some improvements to best my times. My car currently weighs about 3250lbs, with me in it and about 3/4 a tank of gas. I have done all the typical weight reduction stuff. I can easily remove about 15lbs, after that I need some creative ideas. As far as adding HP. I need something that won't add points. I was thinking about a crank scrapper and a light weight harmonic balancer. Anyone have any input on these? On both weight and HP I can't go to crazy. I have to stay within my hp/wt. ratio. But I am hoping a little bit in both areas will reduce my lap times some. Suspension. Here is the list and my settings. Let me know if you guys have tried anything that I don't have that has made a noticeable difference. Front Poly steering rack bushings Steeda HD front sway bar this did an amazing job of eliminating my oversteer) Poly end link bushings MM Camber Plates H&R race springs Edelbrock Struts Rear '03 IRS Poly sub frame mount bushings Poly sway bar bushings Poly diff. bushings H&R race springs Alignment settings Front -2.5 Camber 3 Caster 1/16" toe in (shop screwed up, changing to 1/16" toe out) Rear -1.2 camber 1/16" toe in I have subframe connectors also I was using some year old Nitto NT01s, 255s. I can't go below a 50 treadwear rating without going into TTC. I am also using '03 Cobra brakes all around with EBC Blue pads. [/QUOTE]
