After agonizing over our suspension geometry and modifications, our Nissan 350Z was ready for its date with a real race car engineer: Andy Hollis had agreed to join us for our LS-swapped time trial car’s first test day.
Our goal for that outing: Develop a setup notebook so we could adjust our car and make it fast at any track. …
For the skid pad what gear do you use?
I'd think 6th (top) would give you the lowest revs and might keep your oil issues down a bit. Also you shouldn't need the acceleration capacity testing steady state cornering.
But maybe you want to keep the revs in normal racing range since engine braking effects will be higher? But then again a high gear would reduce the effects of the driver's right foot, reducing a variable you're trying to control for.
Curious if there's a clear preference or not.
Not much was tuned based on the testing, but by golly if that was a super informative update full of reminders and troubleshooting. 
You'll need to log in to post.
