More good advice thanks.
I've been getting print outs of my better runs and looking at both my fastest and average laps when taking the badly driven laps out of the equation.
I'm only about 4 weeks into my racing career so still learning a lot both in terms of driving and set up. Week before last I set myself a target of getting my lap average consistently under 5 and this week achieved that - even with the handling issues. I think average was about 4.5 and fastest was 4.08.
The fast guys at my club are probably a second quicker than that per lap so that's what I'm aiming for. Every week they get a little more cagey about their set ups lol.
My next goal is to get my total laps up into the 70s - the fast guys are putting down 78-83 laps.
The fastest my car has ever made it round was 3.95 so I think there is still room to get my setup dialled in.
Back to gearing - as this is something I want to get settled before making finer adjustments to springs etc - looking at some ratio charts I've made there is often a gap in the rollout as the tyres wear down. As in at say 47mm rear dia a 16T pinion drops bellow my target rollout of say 53-54 and a 17T over shoots it. How do people usually deal with that?
I've looked into 48DP gears and they seem to not have this problem.
