@kyle9 do you have onboard from your 56 lap? curious where you're picking up time vs my setup
i'm the guy who looked up the zf8 neutral info for you on sat
chassis control may be part of it, i don't think i've hit fuel starve at LRP yet at the fuel reserve warning level, but i run effectively full stiff for rebound dampening + 650/750 lb springs, so my chassis is pretty flat through the corner vs being jacked up by the inside wheels. this might...
it's more about saving $1000's by using the latest aero:
Verus wing:
$2.2k
NLR wing, that can be expanded into dual element later:
~$1k
Verus splitter with tunnels:
$2.1k
777 splitter with tunnels:
~$1k
Yeah it was at LRP, rapid unscheduled disassembly in the downhill.
NLR should have a Supra wing mount solution out soon, believe Johnny has it on the 5 axis right now. It's one of the better motorsports airfoil profiles:

The Zebulon setup...
I would recommend holding off on the verus kit, and maybe wait for 777’s full kit to start coming out. Definitely the rear diffuser, it was the cause of my only black flag.
yeah the xgps160 is way better than the built in 1 hz gps on the phone. i'm actually gonna borrow a friend's garmin setup for a bit to see how it compares, since i still have some gps speed issues in the downhill and uphill. racechrono is best of the bunch for phone apps though.
tbc am not commenting on your setup, just providing supporting evidence on my note for why there is/isn't additional front stiffness on the initial launch/gt4.
you're probably right, i don't know much about motorsports honestly, just read a bunch:
from popular mechanics:
it's one of the few areas i politely disagree with Mario on:

note the gt4’s front bar setting
toyota only added the front strut brace to the ‘21s because auto journalists couldn’t drive the initial launch setup well without it. iirc the pro racers who track tested it were faster without the brace, hence the decision to launch without it. you get the same effect with a stiffer front sway...
fyi, you can square off a 3" hose and it actually goes inside the intake ducting
if you need more pressure, you can block off the brake ducts. they do nothing for me on track.
all M cars are running this setup, with intake being fed from in front of the cooling stack. it's part of m340i's "hot...
