IMHO, my approach would be to learn how to drive the car (not saying you don't) and then approach changes from there. Don't like the turn-in? Work on adjusting that. Don't like how the rear end is reacting? Work on adjusting that.

Again IMHO, I think better driving can often cut off more time than a mod here or a mod there. Case in point, my uncle took The Kink at Road America at 100mph. Randy Pobst driving my uncle's same car on the same day, same conditions, took it at 110mph.

Words of wisdom. If you want your car to be faster around a race track then you need to mod yourself and not the car.

The rear toe eating tires doesn't require any particular skill to spot.

I can only afford one day per month at BIR, due to vacation time, etc. I don't care if I'm the slowest guy up there. I have different objectives than most of you.

Mostly this hobby is to keep my mind occupied. There's just a ton and a half to learn...about everything. Driving is just one of those things.
