i only ran there once in the beginning of the year, i had +2 on the rear and stock on the front, if i go back i'd probably run -1 on the front and +1 on the rear

Depends on how fast you are, running even a decent advanced trackday pace and you'll be short of gearing if you're one down in the front and any up in the rear.

That straightaway is looooooooooooooooooong.

I was also hitting the limiter in 6th with a +2 rear, so I went to stock and it would have been perfect if my skirt hadn't kept blowing up.

I'm not sure what times I did, 1:38's I think.

Best time I ran was a 1:37

I dropped to a +1 rear and it mest up my gearing in the corners. mostly cause it was my last race with new gearing. If I ran that gearing all weeekend I probally would have went faster

On a 06 gsxr 600 I ran 36 flat with -1front +1rear. You want to ALMOST hit the rev limiter in the kink. You will gain about 500 rpm when you exit the kink.

I meant to say your rpm will drop by 500

05 gsxr 600...i ran -1 +1 and changed to -1f/stock rear after being on the limiter. i run a 190 rear, so w/ a 180...+2 rear, stock front would be good.
