Figured that is as close as I am going to get to 100% full without having reject messages. This is after I deleted a few hundred when they first signed me up on here in!

So feel free, Shoot me a question!


Thanks to everyone on the Forum for your questions, comments, and orders. We wouldn't be where we are today without you guys and gals!!!

Now that it does not matter anymore, what were your camber settings, hot pressures and tire temps on the Dunlops?

You know, alignment settings from the ALMS car to your street car are not going to be direct comparisons, as pick up points are moved, control arm lengths are different, roll centers are different......just not the same geometry.

I'm the little guy around here

Boris is doing very well, and I believe has already been in a few other cars. He will be doing some Sprint Cup races this year as well so be on the look out as the man drives everything with wheels!

2.2-2.4 in the front, 1.4-1.6 in the rear. Give the car what it needs, not what my car has Just because it works for me, doesnt make it ideal for you. Use those to start, and tune it from there

Aero, weight, suspension points, uprights, track, track temp all play a very important role in setup, but thats the gist. I would not run that much rear camber on a factory pickup point car, FWIW...

here's some specifics:

2005 c6 corvette z-51 fully caged
3260 lb with me in it
stock motor with LG header, air box, exhaust
LG coil overs
front spring 700 lb; rear spring 600 lb
hoosier r6's 335 r18 rear; 295 r18 front
LG camber plates
pfadt adjustable sway bars front and rear
apr wing and splitter
(the dreaded) quaife differential
diff cooler, LG radiator with cooler, lingenfelter extra cooler, accusump, etc.

more comfortable for me is: "a perfectly balanced car" - seriously i am more comfortable with a little oversteer that i can control with throttle


here's some questions:

rear camber?
tow?
ride height front?
ride height back?
