I first looked at replacement pads for tracking to address the concern of potential brake fad. Then I learned what they are really about. It's the increase stopping power that makes them needed by those that are driving hard on the track.
Slowing me down? Oh no, that's not me. That is the John Heinricy during the final laps of the 2023 SCCA T-2 Run Offs. That's the best of the best showing what our Blackwings are capable of.
Here's the full race.
You need a lot of camber to make them work. I'm going with 3.7 front and 2.1 rear. In the back you need to remove the rear shock dust boot and trim the edge off the upper bumper cup as the tire can hit it and get cut.
Opps! Don't forgot the Camaro solid rear cradle mounts.
Hoping to have...
I can't help you with that, busy working on it myself. However, if I could drive a Lamborgini at 90% I'd be faster than the professional driver driving a 4BW at 100%. So I'm going to work on bettering the car, while also bettering myself.
Here's a hot lap at VIR with just camber and tires...
Suspension: camber plates, toe links, sway bars and springs
Brakes: full race pads on the front
Tires: you can go as far as 295 front and 315 rears.
You'll shave a lot more off your lap times with handling improvements than you will by increasing power.
Yes, I bought the ATS-V camber plates. Needing the longer bolts is what I've heard.
I also recently got sway bars, Swift Spec R springs and SPL toe links. Hopefully everything goes in next week.
Lastly I've ordered 18x10's with 15mm offset and 18x11's with 45mm offset. I'm going with 295's...
You can just barely feel the difference of each level, but you can. I've been on map 3 for several months and 3 track days - running great. 93 octane day to day, with some 100 race gas added making about 95 octane for track days. Decided not to do the BCM, as I don't want to ask more of the...
Is there a control somewhere to turn off the sound recording of the PDR and only record video?
I ask because I know someone whose PDR is only recording video. Has anybody else encountered this?
Thanks for the offer, but over the past 6 months I ended up going in another direction. I recently ordered 18x10 and 18x11 wheels so I can go with wider tires.
Have you done brake pads yet? Go with a full race on front(non-street) and an aggressive street pad for the back. They make a big difference when trying to push back your braking points. Supposedly your not supposed to use race pads on the street, but I'm finding them to be fine for daily...
