Yeah, when I noticed it, you were turning to the left, so it may have been Fred.
My only suggestion is to ask Bob at AutoEdge (651-777-6924). He just did a superb job on Dad's 997 and I know he's set up a few Caymans. I've been impressed by their customer service, and Bob's knowledge. Really great people there, and as a bonus (big bonus) they are at every DE weekend if you have any problems. I'd ask him about the
LSD too.
You may want to go to 18" wheels for the track (then you will have track tires for dry, streets for wet). Looks like you have 19" Carerra Classics, right?
Oh, the most important mod to make is seat time. I figure you knew that. A lot of the cars up there that will be passing you in the future don't have nearly the HP you have, and many of the cars you will pass will have more HP than you!

LSD - Limited Slip Differential
|
 |
A limited slip differential (LSD) is a modified or derived type of differential gear arrangement that allows for some difference in rotational velocity of the output shafts, but does not allow the difference in speed to increase beyond a preset amount. In an automobile, such limited slip differentials are sometimes used in place of a standard differential, where they convey certain dynamic advantages, at the expense of greater complexity.
The main advantage of a limited slip differential is found by considering the case of a standard (or "open") differential where one wheel has no contact with the ground at all. In such a case, the contacting wheel will remain stationary, and the non-contacting wheel will rotate freely– the torque transmitted will be equal at both wheels, but will not exceed the threshold of torque needed to move the vehicle, thus the vehicle will remain stationary. In everyday use on typical roads, such a situation is very unlikely, and so a normal differential suffices. For more demanding use however, such as driving off-road, or for high performance vehicles, such a state of affairs is undesirable, and the LSD can be employed to deal with it. By limiting the velocity difference between a pair of driven wheels, useful torque can be transmitted as long as there is some friction available on at least one of the wheels.
