The difference was last year I had the OEM mid pipe, this year I upgraded to the Nitto midpipe, cut off one of the resenators and welded a cat in OEM location.
Also, last year i was running 225 hankooks on a 7" rim, this year I went with 205 Rivals on a 7.5" rim..

But I think the biggest difference was the driver mod... I have improved a lot in 2014 and really understanding the mental prep work that is required to find the best lines and memorizing the course. After each walk through, I would close my eyes and run the course in my head. If there was a spot in my memory that I was unsure of, I would walk the course again. I would repeat this until I can drive the course in my head every time.

Also, the GoPro helped a lot. Being able to view my runs after ward and seeing where I needed to get close to a cone, brake later, or get on the throttle more was what I needed.

Thanks for listening. I haven't had a rush like that in a long time. My hands were still shaking in grid afterwards. My last run, I gave it everything I had and after viewing it on my gopro, I think there was still maybe .100 in a spot or 2. I was nailing every turn.

I will post up a decent video later on for all to see.
