    we (einstein57's e30) started at 36 front and 34 rear, but it was hell hot that day, so after our first run, pressure came up to 38 front left, 37 front right, 37 rear right and 35 rear right... we kept messing with the pressure until it became stable at 33 front and 32 rears.... he has a 3.73 rear end, z3 short shifter, no chip and it didn't feel right. chip is definitely a must, so redlines goes up to 7000rpm which will allow us to stay in 2nd a bit longer. we beat a couple of corvettes that were in STX while we were in STS, :)

    bottom line is; his tire sucked (well, they were okay, it did it's job, but not correctly)... do not race with NEOgens... better racing with Falken 615s from my experience.
    Hmm, I can't quite remember. But, I believe I ended up with 35 front and 37 rear. There is a 2-day divisional event this weekend. I will make sure that I keep track of my pressures this weekend and report back.

      I've been running a 4.10LSD for a few years now - as already mentioned it makes a nice enhancement when accelerating. I've had a chance to try it on the track too.......lots of fun. Unfortunately, the roll my car plays these days is a commuter and not a racer. I just recently picked up a 3.73LSD which will be going in soon.

          Jeremiel5: Today I started at 40/40 (f/r) tire pressure. Ended up at 37/40 (f/r). I would have to fronts up more but I badly need a rear bar of some sorts. I've got one at work that I am going to throw on for the next autox and put a convertible 21mm in front and see how it feels. I may drop the fronts another 1 psi to see how freely it wants to rotate tomorrow.

            Ok, I was FINALLY able to get the car to rotate pretty decently, still need a rear bar. Set the fronts to 40 (hot) and rears to 39 (hot). Rotates decently now. I was able to come within a few thousandths of a second from my friend in a '98 BS M3 and was able to beat my other buddy in a '90 E30 with a 2.8 M20 and MZCoupe brakes by like 3 seconds. Hopefully I will be able to easily beat the '98 M3 once I get the sway bar in. I'm going to go to a 21 front and 19.5 in the rear.
