Your car is rapidly becoming the benchmark for product evaluation, and your technically-inclined assessments help a lot, thank you!

Thanks! Yes a fuel surge tank would probably do the trick. As for the camber, I can tell by feel. The front tires would hop during long cornering which is usually an indication that they are rolling over onto the sidewall too much. They would also lose grip much faster than the rears which is another indication that there is too much heat in the part of the tire that is contacting the road. The true way to tell is by taking tire temps, but I didn't bother since I had no adjustment anyway.

Great write up BTW, you would of seriously kicked arse in stock class.

Thanks to you as well! Track pads are definitely a must, but I have to say that I am impressed the HP+ pads took that much of a beating at Buttonwillow and around the rest of the track at Willow Springs before reaching the limit.
