I started out Friday morning with the stock swaybar on the rear. As Cloud9 and I surmised earlier this year, the car was uncomfortably loose w/ the stock rear bar and a square tire setup. I had brought along the Strano rear bar for this reason, and swapped it on after the first session.
Note, this swaybar kit came with absolutely no instructions and required a bit of guesswork as to what bushings, collars, and washers went where. Sam--please include instructions for your future customers! On the plus side, once the bar was installed, the car was a blast to drive. Setting the bar in the "middle" setting got the car settled down quite a bit, maybe even a little on the "tight" side. More on this later.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Is this the bar you ordered?

Thanks again!
Dean: That is the one.
Further review of the Trackmaster logs and laptimes shows that the second lap of the two that got jumbled was a 2:06.3. Where I thought I was almost a second slower before was wrong--The BOSS was 0.9 seconds FASTER!
Edit AGAIN: I have video of the fastest session--the BOSS ran a 2:07.2--dead nuts ON the benchmark.
THAT'S THE LAST UPDATE, I PROMISE!

Beat that time when you go with NASA (with evidence) and beers are on me!
(Of course, I will complain that lower ambient temps allowed you to make more power and go faster
)
Without further adieu:
What is it going to take to break 2 minutes? ;-)

Haha, good deal. Beer's on me if I can't touch the boss's time. Assuming I have a car, lol, I'm starting to forget what mine looks like, I'm already developing my tricks and habits on the 'yota.
Hopefully that gent with the laguna seca isn't out there (he was happy to coach me at FIR-W, and I was glad I wasn't having to chase his brand new car).
Remember what you learned at West for INDE...I always refer to INDE as "a big FIR West". Despite its length, it's not a power track, it's very technical.
If Gary Felton is out there, see if you can grab him for some coaching. He is the king of INDE for sportscars; ran a 1:55.4 in his Vette there this event!

Might be next week or the week after for my car, so should have time to get it ready for Inde. Mondo's not looking great, but even if I can't drive I'll make it out there.
Sounds good man!
