nice job!

Regear, regear! I think that would help a lot.

Rog, what did Autometrics do to your oil system to ensure you have enough oil circulation. You are running a wet sump so I am curious. I have a 997S a bit deeper of a baffle but that's it. Synergy racing says they have had no problem with oil starvation on their race 997S'.

rog, have u thought about leaving it in 4th gear from turn 1 to turn 5, that way you wont have to make that quick shift to fourth before you enter the esses

TraqGear

Nothing to the oil system to my knowledge. Just another radiator for cooling. Haven't had a problem.

I've tried both ways. If I go into 4th into t1 with enough speed, it pretty fast, but still too boggy into t3. My car is very stiff...bounces a lot around t3 gator, so I would have to downshift into 3rd there anyway. I short shift into 4th where is doesn't matter so much into the esses and use the downhill to ramp up the rpms again and the compression of the downhill for extra grip. I've still got some work to to do there though. Next time I'm going to really analyze 1 through 5 and squeeze out a better time. I'm probably losing 1-2 secs through there.

Soften up the car a bit to be more stable over the gators? Might pay off big at a track like RA where you need to use a LOT of gators...

Eclou, how dare you have an avatar like that, it's an obamanation!

Now, that would be a GREAT title for a book...

ECS

Can I assume you are running slicks? Or would they be MPSC? It would be interesting to see what the guys at autometrics say regarding the issue of not running a dry sump. Seems to be a big question on the board but as I said Synergy has not had a reported problem to date with the 997S.

Roger's car has a 3.6l x51 engine with the factory x51 baffled oil pan.

TraqGear

I did a little, but still a lot for me to learn about suspension. And, we been working on the understeer at Roebling and have it almost completely eliminated, so I didn't want to mess with it too much without having Cory around to help. Next time, hopefully, he'll be up there and I can really dial it in.

TraqGear

Yes, dunlop slicks. They are simply incredible. I'm trying to find a suitable hoosier replacement though so I can run the contingency program with NASA. Can't beat free tires!

Jarez Mifkin

Just remember that setup is track specific and a setup that eliminates understeer at Roebling might do something totally different at Road Atlanta.

TraqGear

Tru dat. But it did translate to almost no understeer at RA, so I didn't want to get too out of tolerance until I learn more. I'm beginning to really get a feeling for different problems, understeer, oversteer, stiffness, etc. but still not comfortable totally on my own to do a great deal of adjustment and I really don't want to "reinvent the wheel" with the car. I'll get there though. I learn a lot from you guys.
