[Shotimes] Sr 72 at Sebring raceway .. after thoughts

[Mike Murphy]

SC are always nice but expensive.

I would put a 75 of nitrous on the car with a push button activation switch 
on the steering wheel.

That should keep you up pretty good.   oh and bring a few bottles if its a 
long day.

After being able to sit back .. and think about how the car drove at
Sebring I have come to some conclusions.

Braking : using only the 96 brake upgrade with slotted rotors and race
pads from the tirerack (red), I never felt brake fade. Having shaved
about 500 pds off the car is huge. The brakes were always strong and I
even felt I had more braking if needed. Later in the day I was braking
harder as I was going into corners faster.

Handling: I was concerned about the rear end getting loose .. but never
happened. I had a total of 4 different instructor drivers with me and
all 4 said they were surprised how well the car tracked. I was able to
stay with porsches and vettes in the corners

speed: If anywhere i could improve is top speed. I am very very fast ..
I was able to keep pace on the straight aways with new vettes. Porsches
ate me though. They pulled away.

Possilby a blower at 6psi maybe ? Not sure ... or going to stage II
cams and some headers for more top end power. I am afraid of realiabilty
though with a S/C ... so for now i will lighten the Sr 72 a little more
and look at tweaking the HP of my current motor.
