Because of a transmission failure at Portland, I could not afford new Hoosiers for this weekend but I still had a blast anyways running with some PROs from Grand-AM and Continental Tire. Even had my first contact in the car but you can't even tell in the video... I didn't even really feel it but it jerked the steering of the E30 with a V8 in it that was behind me. Anyways, 3 5th place finishes and I ran in 3rd most of the Friday race (not videoed) until late when my NT01s gave out big time (2-3 seconds a lap).

You gotta develop an oil baffle kit to sell first. I'll gladly test
I'm running an oil baffle. If you want one made, let me know and I can have Hank and the guys at the shop look into it.

I am having a full aero package being developed for the car that will include a 71" Brooks Motorsport Carbon Fiber Wing courtesy of Hard Motorsport, 2 piece under tray and splitter with duct work to send air up into the transmission tunnel, and I'm going to have a basic rear diffuser made. My rear bumper is currently acting as an air brake right now with the battery box being removed from the trunk
Oh yeah I also decided on 3.62 gears for the Beast. I spent days playing with a gear calculator and after running 285/30 Hoosiers this past weekend, 3.62s are going to be the best "all around" ratio for my car and the tracks I will mostly run.

I know you are, I'm sure that people would buy a kit (ie a core exchange with Hard Motorsports) much like they did for the BBK brake duct/backing plate kit you guys made. The question is, what would it cost?

I can't go for the wing, but the under tray, splitter, ducts and diffuser would interest me.
Did you retain your oil pan solenoids with your modified oil pan?
