T5 factor: <0.30 secs on 1/4

I guess it was the second and last time I run the '80 on the strip with the current engine. Compared to last year, the biggest difference was the T5 swap (tossed the SROD).

Last year it ran some 17.3 with the SROD, now the target was to get below 17 - got quite close but not fast enough - 17.04 @ 131 kmh. The car ran to almost 5000rpm on third at the finishing line. I got the 3.08 gears as those 3.55 gears still sit on the shelf...would have made it with those.

Next time.

Probably for next summer. But we'll never know what that alone would have resulted, because the next engine will be in there the next time I'm on track.

BTW, we had the Track & Track Weekend once again, so we run on the race track too. Unfortunately it started raining just as we were about to take lap times, so no times this year. But for handling improvements value high those sub frames and correct camber/caster angles as the car did turn into curves way better than 12 months ago.
