Do you still have the big scoop on the bonnet? I would get rid of that completely and go for no scoop at all - I reckon it would cost a bit of speed.

At 280+ with that much drag on the scoop I reckon you *might* risk ripping it off completely.

Stock bonnet, your other front bar, no wing.
Suspension set low & soft.
Tyres set at track pressure, and increase until it affects launch.

1. take bonnet completely off if you're allowed to
2. Tow it down with the fezza - instant boss credit!

I think your biggest limiting factor will be a combination of drag and high gearing. I'd love to see you run big numbers, but I dont think you'll go much beyond 250ish.

I'd go scoopless or reverse scoop if possible. Also try and get your run at the hottest part of the day so the air is thinnest to reduce your drag.

LOL.

Another suggestion would be to dial out the camber to near enough zero and possibly toe in a bit as well - will affect your "cornering" but you are going in a straight line so thats a moot point. I'm not sure if you use WW, but possibly John could point you in the right direction there.

You can put this on as a temporary setup if you want scoopless.

WRX/STI Hood Vent (scoop delete) - 04/05 - semi-flat black

Oh, and if you are towing it up, you may as well get a 2 car trailer and take the fezza as well.
