Welcome to the addiction...

Check out the performance secction for better qualified responses...

Your mods would suggest that your car should be capable of hitting your goals. What track are you going to?

Seat time is very important in the quest to get the most out of your car.

Best of success!

NED is a good track.

Read www.rangeracceleration.com for some launch tips from a master. A lot of the best manual trans corvette racers have used his suggestions to great success.

I have a list here.

Go have fun and report back in the performance section.


BTW - you have a 6-speed.
