As far as the esses, I really think that there is more speed there for you. In my GT3 I used to do a decent lift before #1, power through 1 & 2, a lesser lift for #3, and then full power again for 3 & 4. The car is quite stable under power that way, and you really get to South Bend in a hurry.
I think there is easily a second or two in the esses but my ***** haven't grown large enough yet I'm working on getting the line down as habit in my mind and then gradually adding throttle each and every event I go. You should have seen me in the beginning. One big chicken **** entering that section. One big coasting fest.

One mod at a time

I'll bet that you were probably going at least 5 mph faster by the time you got to the first esse though.

I am pretty sure that I can round up At Speed's customers for a test and tune day at VIR. Please let me know what dates you all have in mind so we can try and make it happen...
