Stan,
Thanks, glad you liked it! Driving that car is just stupidfun...
The setup changes revolved around the premiss I floated in the tire temp chapter (http://www.witchdoctormotorsports.com/ch192.htm) on wdms. That is, I can get the correct camber in a corner by utilizing a lot of castor and little static camber or I can take some castor out and run a bit more static. Running high castor really gives an incredible amount of weight jacking in corners and can contribute to poor low speed (sub 50) handling characteristics (push) and that just chaps me.
So this setup was a lower ride height than my typical and with a good deal less castor and then, of course, rebalancing the cross weights to 0. I'm rear heavy also, but not as much as I'd like. I will say this setup is by far the fastest on the car so far. Wahoo!
As for time on the table...I'm not really sure. My guess is another two seconds maybe? A 1:49. I should be back there later in the year (cooler) with hopefully more rubber laid down (it had been raining) and we'll see. If I regeared for the track (from a 4.11 to a 4.56), I'd feel comfy with a 1:49 fairly easy....meh, we'll see.
I also love the gear whine :-)
Costas cars and such...
