Would be awesome taking the car to WTAC but it's no small feat. You basically lock your whole season for WTAC as the car will be on a boat for a couple of months.
Then you need transportation, storage and equipment on site. And making sure you can do a few shakedowns locally. So you basically need at least a month of time down under. So adding up costs to get a team over and dedicated for this amount of time, plus necessary spares, logistics etc. The word expensive doesn't really cover it
I'm sure there's a few of us that's willing to give a helping hand.

Rebuilt engine, new turbo, new intercooler, aluminium torque tube, new and improved CFD optimized diffusers front and rear, changed pickup points for front suspension and steering rack and full slicks
We're chaning roll centers, steering geomtry and lots of stuff to the current setup. The front setup is already custom made double A arm setup with custom uprights but the car has evolved and there is room for improvement. We're leaving nothing to chance
Did you do all the suspension adjustments due to the slicks or also due to the new Aero?
How did you calculate the changes? Pity you couldn't have tried the slicks on the car before the changes just to have a direct comparo to the R specs. Enquiring minds want to know.
Did you have the GTX3582R first gen or still ran with the GT series?
If you did have the first gen, any dyno runs yet?
I was using the Gen 1 GTX3582R previously so the last dyno (767 crank hp) was with that turbo.
The flat shift gear cut killed it Along with multiple cracked headers during the last 2 seasons and bent valves. Oh the joy of fast race cars

I actually did a test in October with the slicks on Mantorp. But had headgasket issues with misfires so I couldn't really do any proper laps. Still within 2 tenths of my semi slicks record at that track so it's promising.
The adjustments on the suspension is more about optimizing everything for the current ride height. It was built for a lower ride heigh than I'm using now with all the aero components. That along with a big spacer (height wise) on the inner steering tie rod that created issues now with this amount of grip.
So we're moving the steering rack and changing pickup points everywhere and modifying the uprights. Pretty big changes.
We've measured everything and put it into a system that the person helping me with this is using. Then tried many different scenarios to find the right setup for the goals we setup.
