A quote from my friends over at PhasedApproach.com, have said this many times, so it's nice to see when others explain it.

From my standpoint, I will point to this the next time I get someone who wants the easy answer. The just sell me something, why does this matter guy. It matters because how well or poorly your stuff works reflects on me. Happy customers tell some others, unhappy ones bitch and make a lot more noise. AND I'd rather not just pick your pocket for a quick sale.

"Everything is a system. Everything needs to be designed around being PART of a system. One of the biggest flaws I see with people are ping-ponging around and taking bits and pieces of setups / advice from others while not thinking about everything in a cohesive picture, but rather thinking that there's some konami code where if you enter some ideal spring rate, bar rate, ride height, then a massive pace increase is unlocked, when it's way more about ensuring that all of your decisions work cohesively together, and that there's no such thing as anyone "ideal" variable, everything has drawbacks and tradeoffs."

This is a screenshot, and you're probably asking why I am sharing this. If you're not familiar with Pittsburgh, this is what AI and I heard on the internet stuff is like. There's a whole bunch wrong here. It's not hard to figure out where Mount Washington is, anybody with a map can do that even if they've never been to Pittsburgh.

Please understand that this is the world we're living in and it's only getting worse. You want to use AI to make it video, for fun, go for it. Relying on this. Kind of crap for real information, is a horrible mistake, and extremely frustrating for anybody trying to help.

What did your setup guy accomplish today?

1-2 (and a lot more in the top 20) on index. Cody's suspension is mine, in fact his Penske's used to be my personal C7 set.

Little bit of footage from the 2026 Toledo Pro solo. Both these cars are customers. Two very different ways to run in CAM, the differences are far beyond just Ford versus Chevy.

The Mustang is on Penske's, coilovers on the front weight jackers on the back, Haltech fuel injection and traction control. BMW mk60 ABS, and much more.

The Camaro runs in CAM T, it was Chris's first first prosolo. The neat thing about the video is you can watch both cars run down that first section one after the other, and when you realize that the Camaro is basically on our handling pack 6 with SP141 lowering springs, Koni Sports and sway bars, It shows you that you don't have to go off nuts to have a very nimble pony car

I know I make these posts once in a while, and more often than I like, but here is another one to pass along.

I think we all know nothing is cheaper, and some things are about to get a lot more costly, right now I'm talking about Oil. I just saw a letter from Amsoil about the price increases which spells it all out. I have already seen marked increases on the brands I personally use a lot of like Red Line and Driven, and nobody is immune to this given that so much oil and so much synthetic base stock comes from a place that we can't get it.

I am surprised it took this long but the ball is rolling now. BTW, I bought a bunch of oil myself about 2 months ago assuming this would be the case, just to try and outrun it knowing I'd be needing it anyway.

I've seen notices from various OEM's as well about shortages, costs and the like for their own spec oils.

Also, keep in mind at the end of this month the Koni Shock Value sale is slated to end, and that offers a tangible savings, sometimes multiple hundreds of dollars that you might not want to miss out on. There are others too, in general nothing is likely to go down in price, what does? But costs and inventory are both pretty volitile right now.
