The official ask zrk anything thread

Yes. Literally every race car log. Notice all 20 cars on the top 20 list have changed from what they had previously to the EOS manifold and have reported significant improvements. I'll see if I can dig up some before and after logs from some of the big players, but those logs are pretty tight lipped.

I'd be interested in seeing the data for sure. Understand if people aren't willing to share.

People aren't exactly open to sharing data (or don't know how) on this platform for some reason. So good luck. Everyone always states things are better but never show how they are better. I'll trust that as far as I can throw it.

I am most likely going to pick up an EOS manifold and will be happy to share data.

I appreciate that and same. I get it that the kind of racing where you don't turn is ultra-competitive at the top, but I'm surprised if people doing the real kind of racing were really opposed to sharing data outside of any kind of competitive series. The guys I've done HPDEs with in the past wouldn't care at all to share a log or whatever about their cars.

I'm more than happy to share logs on logs of drag passes with the EOS manifold. So would others I know, and I have shared this data. Several times.

Getting drag or dyno logs from the most of the top 20 cars is going to prove difficult, especially before and afters.

Is there a way to read, see or log the IAT while driving and not unplug my JB4?

Yes. Log it with JB4.

Depends.

- If it's a new project, and the language allows (PHP/Perl/Java), I'm firmly in the soft-tabs camp (spaces).
- Existing project, follow the convention
- Python, obviously spaces
- Go, obviously tabs (compiler actually requires this, `go fmt` will convert to tabs if you didn't
- JS, Don't write javascript ever. The internet was a better place with out it
- Ruby, Spaces- but because they use two as a stupid convention, but whatever.
- Erlang/Elixir - Compiler doesn't require spaces, but the dialyzer prefers it. This can be disabled

If you're doing something that doesn't technically require spaces but should use spaces, just fucking use spaces (looking at lisp and lisp varients, Haskell, Rust).

The bottom line is to be pragmatic about it. If you join a team, use whatever the fuck they use. If you do a personal project, I prefer spaces, but I used to write a lot of go, so I got into tabs a little bit.

What camber are you at front and rear? After lowering im at -2.2 front (seems ok) and -2.7 rear (seems fucky). Need to order thinner spacers to make the adjustments since I’m in the edge of rubbing, but unsure what to shoot for. 275/ 285 nt555 r2’s, will be mostly roll racing and ripping around town.

With only 275/35 square I ran -2.5 all around for my 1st track day with this car. No problems. If I ever go bigger in the rear I’ll run less camber for sure. But no rubbing issues.

I guess my concern here is straight-line rear traction. Just looking at it I can tell my contact patch is awful.

Yup, you are right. Wider tires in the rear would be nice for coming out of an apex. But they are just so damn expensive. I like the square setup and controlling the “wiggle”. With good track tires (Maxxis Victra RC-1 for me) the grip is way better than I was expecting. I came from an S2000 and learned to love doing a bit more counter steering. This next track day I’ll have less camber in the rear and a pinch of toe out up front and toe in on the rear to be exact. But for what zrk does, I’d be so far off from his alignment and tire setup, lol. If that’s what you’re going to do.

Haha, I’m not cranking out sub 10 quarter mile times in the car anytime soon but yea my driving style will be closer to what he’s doing. Would like to maximize my launches but avoid riding around town on 0 camber lol, this is fairly new to me.
