Any clue what times/numbers your expecting from this?

im not sure what kind of times i will lay down the first few times, i will have to learn the car and get the map dialed in first.
BUT if i had to guess......ummmm somewhere in the 9's. or a lot better on spray after i add the 200 shot off the line and keep spraying.

Looks good. Be sure to let me know when you hit the track so I can put the times in the "fastest SC300" list.

What suspension items do you have?

So break-neck speeds. Good stuff, I figured it would be below 10s. How much rubber is on the back wheels?

I've got my front sway removed, and Energy Suspension bushings on the rear. I tried to find information on if a bigger rear sway would help an IRS car launch straight like it does for solid axle cars and couldn't find much, what kind of difference have you noticed with it?

To be honest i have not had enough track time with the car to see. but when the car was my weekend toy, I noticed how much better it cornered so hopefully it will help with launching.
I will keep you posted.
