When you are going through the cones check to see how much of the tread you are using, if you are getting markes 1+ inches up the sidewall you need to add more PSI. Then if the trad looks like you are only using part of the tread you need to decrease PSI a bit.

If you want oversteer you really want it to happen when entering the corner with some trailbraking. All you do is you use the brakes while going through the initial turn in. Then let off the brake & it will cause the back to drift out a little which will allow you to setup for the exit earlier & also makes the straight longer :) My last drivers school event my instructor/friend wanted me to do this, I wasn't ready to set my SPG sideways at 60-100 mph entering a turn....someday I might thus we just added some toe out & it was a LOT better :)

O yea....if you can put new springs on the car get some of Brad's adjustable springs, I bet you would gain at least a second with those!!!! I know it's a stock class however can you go with different sprigs if it doesn't alter the ride heigth of the car?? They are not cheap but will transform the car

& FWIW I might have 1 last set of koni adjustable for a C900. I use to be a TSN sponsor however I shut everything down & thus have a few leftover parts available. Another option would be to get a set of AVO shocks which are externally adjustbale & should cost close to what the Koni's do at $365. The AVO's would allow you to dial in the car much better at the track vs the koni's which are kinda a PITA to adjust :(
