After running several race weekends last season, including the VSCDA vintage weekend at Road America, I learned a few things and burned up a new set of race slicks (Hoosier bias ply ) due to bad set up advice from my local rep. Anyway, they came through with a big discount on another set with proper set up specs - basically you run practically no negative camber, unlike the Goodyears I had been running…
The Vintage event was fun, as Triumph was the featured mark and there were six other GT6's there! I ended up highest finishing of the GT6s. You can watch my video at: https://vimeo.com/76960933
So this winter I made another geometry adjustment to the rear suspension (upper a arm attachment point) for improvement in adjustability of ride height. I also fitted a set of velocity stacks on my 1.75" SUs (the stacks Kastner designed) and built an air box to direct filtered air to them. This required modifying the right front fender for clearance. I also changed my oil cooler and its' location to in front of the radiator. We shall see if I can feel the extra 6 HP the stacks are supposed to bring to the 2 liter built motor. This will put at about 190HP (flywheel).
