Just make sure you chalk your tires so you can see how much rollover you're getting and you can dial in the pressure during the day.

Also just so you know 2015 SCCA rules has 97 - 08 Boxster in B street not C street

That probably is close to 32F / 34R cold

Thanks for the tips. The car seemed much better especially on corner entry.

I set the pressures to 32 fr / 34 re and when hot they measured 34 fr / 37 re

My first run was a 62 sec and I set my goal at a 58. I ran a 59.9, a 59.0 and then my last run was a 57.9.

That placed me 15/31 , and surprisingly, I was not last place in BS.

Here is a video of my last run:

Thanks again JayG for the tire pressure tips. My car feels so balanced now, I just leave my pressures that way for the street & its much better. Saved me from buying the M030 kit for now.
