So do you run a front diff? I can try playing with the sway bars, haven't tried that yet.

I did switch from stock springs to Spec-R 2.6F/2.5R, which made the car ~0.5 faster, but made it oversteer during the main when our traction got crazy sticky. Since then I switched to Yokomo Pink F/Blue R, which made the car 0.2 slower but did make it a lot more consistent and stable all evening.

But compared to the 3 guys ahead of me, my car pushes a lot on power. My front gear diff came into the discusison spotlight when I was talking with them about my handling.

And yes, the driveline is pretty free now, though I do have plastic dust in both gear cases. Given how notchy the gears were, I'm not too worried as I figure it's just the imperfections getting filed down. I have cleaned the cases and lubed the gears with some teflon garage door lube (dries out to dry), so we'll see how it looks after the next race night.
