Hope this helps you get to were you want to be. sounds like you got a good handle on seting up your ride
Assume I drive well enough. Driving is a whole other topic IMO. I think I learn how to drive better every second I am on the track. There is always something I feel I can do better driving to get around the track faster. But that is not what I am looking for. I am purely talking about setup.

It's unfortunate, and I'd like someone to prove me wrong.
I don't think there is a "secret" to setting up your car. Just because bob TQ'd and won with his car and setup does not mean John will with the same car. John might have to set his car up his way because of the way he drives.

I am looking for tips on what to do that will hopefully work for me. I am afraid that answer is going to be trial and error, experience.
