I am running a completely stock NT1 with the basic setup with the following exceptions:

1) Short/Long Dark Blue Springs Front/Rear
2) 600w shock oil with 3 holes all around
3) front spool
4) rear camber 3.5, using short link #4. (outer hole on the rear uprights)
with 3 degrees i still have coning on the outside.
5) 37sh front / 40sh rear

the camber settings should give you an idea of the track grip level.

changing to blue springs made it easier to drive. changing to front spool made even more so and I can be more agressive entering and existing a corners..

the track has 5 tight turns(180)... 1 sweeper and 1 fast and long 180. the straigh is around 160ft.

the surface is asphalt, but the grip condition is not too bad it seems (this i beleive being a subjective matter :) ). the track is not very smooth either...

now i need to improve my lap time by around 1.5 seconds!.. I'm far off from a pro. What can I change on the car to improve other than my skills :) ?

Does it push the most on entry off-power or exit on-power?

Also, how do the tires wear with the current setup? Are the fronts wearing flat or coned to inside or outside? What about the rears?

mostly on corner entry off-power.
it does push on exit on-power, but less severe (especially when I changed to front spool).

fronts are wearing pretty flat.
Rear wear very slightly more on the inside with 3.5 degrees.
With 3.0 I still have slight coning on the outside..

I'm running 25t mid pulley as I don't have a tyre truer and cannot adjust the tyre split...

i'm slower on corner entry most of the time.

It's easy to explain .
Rear long silver springs have the same hardness of front blue short front springs!
I spent a whole night making a table to compare all Xray springs (and also competitor's) and it was a good time!

i agree with you jongo. I've been using the plastic spool that comes with kit and it did not last long. While waiting for the solid al spool I ordered online, I set up the front diff with 500k diff oil. I seem to like it more this way.. especially in the sweeper turn..i feel it the car can accelerate easier...
