Stepping up the game a bit with some AST5220's. After selling my Koni Race suspension the total out of pocket was 2k. Too good of a situation to let pass so I jumped on it.
The car worked so well with the Koni Race setup I was reluctant to make the change. I opted to keep the spring rates the same as before (850/500). This should make for a well controlled test since it's the only thing being changed.
I added the zero rate helpers after the purchase.

That is a can of worms I would rather not open. I looked at the pros and cons of each then ran it by Tony. We arrived at the same conclusion. Not sure if it was for the same reasons because I did not ask.
The scary part of the change is the possibility of going backwards. This thing worked so well with the previous suspension Dean felt I maybe making a mistake changing it. When I bought the car I asked Tony what would be the one thing he would like to change. He said the suspension with AST/Xida. Got to say you played a role in pushing me over the edge.
My goal is to make it a ST2 class winner. Track record at Thunderhill for ST2 is a 1:50.8 using the bypass. Assuming the bypass is worth 2 seconds we are within 1-2 seconds of it before this last round of changes. It's all about the free HooHoo's.

New motor with forged internals, 11:1 CR, E85, Ported head, ATI Damper, oversize supertech valves, Supertech SUB, custom web cams and supertech heavy doubles.
Rebello ported the head and assembled the motor. Trackspeed supplied the supertech valve parts. I spec out the cams, Tony at TC Design fabricated the plumbing, Intercooler, radiator mounts, air filter housing, Skunk 2 intake and tuned the car.
