- TeeLew replied to the thread S197 pushing badly.Good thing to cover here. Dave is running well over what I recommend for a front spring. He's got more engine weight than most, so that's part of it, but his nose-weight isn't crazy, since he has also done things like the tubular front subframe... (see full post)
Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Minimum Tire to Strut Clearance.I think I would go with more camber - I keep reading that S550s love -3.0° or more. Fix your clearance issue and get higher mid-corner speeds due to more front outside tire grip at the same time. 2 birds with 1 stone and all that. (see full post)
ArizonaBOSS replied to the thread S197 pushing badly.Sounds like we are missing some alignment (camber/toe) info and again what phase of the corner we are talking about here (Hi Kevin!) Without that info, I will say that S197s love trail braking. (see full post)-
Strictly from a tire perspective, if you need to demon tweak something you have to consider the amount of laps.if you are going out, less than 5, hopefully on stickers, you would boost thr front tires about 4 psi over the rears. They will heat up...
Albino500 replied to the thread S197 pushing badly.All good points but let's go back to Dave_W comment - where's it pushing - corner entry-mid corner-corner exit? (see full post)-

For S197s you can code out the TPMS light with Forscan in the IPC module and deselect the TPMS active. That's what I did as I also have track wheels without TPMS installed at the moment. Google seems to say you can do the same in S550s, but...

So far there has been no mention of installing these isolators. I will reserve comment as we are working to resolve. Once we get there I will post how things go. I don’t want to poison the waters so to speak.

You run a Whipple supercharged Coyote for 30 minutes on the stock radiator and run 30 minute sessions?Surprising (amazing).I know you set up the fans, but once you are going on the track fans should not matter. 185 thermostat, but, again, by...
