The weekend went great. I'm the DE chairman for our club so, I don't get much track time. In the past, when I could get out on the track, it was not much fun due to an ill handling car. I fabricated the front spoiler that you see in the photo which kept the front end down and followed the advice of a friend and set the psi on the new Falcon's at 28psi front and 44psi rear. Did all the changes work. YES! Very little push from the front and good grip on the rears. I had more fun than I've had in a very long time.

Your friends advice for tire pressure. Is that applicable to all set-ups or under certain conditions?

Those are factory recommendations. However, I am running as much neg. camber in the front as possible with out mods with the exception of drop links for bump steer. Rear? not sure but I believe I'm running around 1 to 1.2or3 degree neg camber. 17x8 front wheels and 17x10 rear with Falcon RT615s 245/ 45 front and 275/40 rear.

Cool, can't wait to take mine out this yr.
I've driven gt3s, 997tt, etc at the track extensively, I think the hardest thing for me to get usd to in the non ABS.
