Flawless. I run a federal pump, hydroboost and a small high flow ps cooler. I ran all out for four sessions. 125 consistent down the straight with no issues...
Did you measure the centerlink angle on your car before and after the Borgeson box swap? Did the up and down location of the pitman ball joint seem 100% in the same place?
No. But my sector support fit just like it did before the swap so unscientifically speaking its a non issue.
Current front brakes are 2003 and up viper caliper, srt rotor and carbotech xp10 pads.

To some degree. What you don't get from the video is the actual speed. It doesn't sound like it, becuause the car is quiet, but approaching the straight I'm shifting into 4th with my foot in the carpet on the way up to 125, then slowing to about 50-60 for the double apex turn. You are also limited to the gearing in the car. Luckily for me 3rd gear in my 833 and 2.94 out back allowed me to run the whole track besides the straight in the same gear. Shifting into 4th in some spots didn't make sense. Probably the biggest problem in a street car is keep your upper body in the seat. My flofit seats and a three point belt are nice on the street, but I have to do something better for track days. I am not trying to build a race car. All I want to do is validate the consistency and durability of the parts I use.

Great pics and a great time at the track! The 73 Cuda looks awesome! Seats -- i have a competition Corbue GT8 that is well padded and gives superior lateral support, although it is a "fixed" non-adjustable seat (adapted to my factory glides). For street driving and a comprimise, i installed a pair of Recaro-imitation fully adjustable seats having high side bolster (and still reasonably light weight), but they don't grab my body as well as the Corbue GT8... tight seat belt harness helps alot.
MoPwer to ya and I hope you'll get out to more fun summer events.. on the track!

Finally got to watch the full video. Good run! Quote:
Very smooth and predictable. They are stickier than the 300 tread wear suggests.
Good to hear you liked the tires. I just picked up a set.
What did you have your alignment set at?
-'02 Dodge Viper Ex-World Challenge racecar
-'73 Duster, 6.1 based 392 hilborn hemi, tko600, full floater rear 9", Hellwig custom bars, viper brakes, built for road course

Alignment was -1.2 camber, 4.5 caster, 1/16 toe. Next event I'm going a little more neg camber like 1.7. I have SPC upper arms which makes alignment a snap.
