Yes it is a new spec, but Bridgestone has a greater allegiance to Ferrari than other team and will receive more support for their tires. Even though all the teams have tested the tires doesn't mean they have as good an understanding as Ferarri as Im sure the characteristics are closer to last...
McLaren will be stronger as the season goes on, and give a real fight for the constructors championship. The drivers is tough championship is tough to call, Kimi looks to be the one to beat but give Mclaren a chance to get to know the Bridgestone rubber better.
This race would have been better...
relocate only if you want to vent to atmosphere with a bov, which I wouldnt recommend doing unless you are boosting over stock. A real solution to the rich fuel mixture is the dsm afc, unichip, mpi, haltech, or microtech ems.
I did a turbo hoses smic and hard pipes first, then a 2.5' catted mid pipe and then a greddy profec b spec 2 and a unichip. Car drives much better now, best mod was the smic IMO.
The split second afc is also a very good choice for ems.
My next mods wil be a 626 IM and Focus's exhaust...
The best buffet I had in Vegas was at the Flamingo, and I would also recommend the Rum Jungle over at the Mandalay Bay, its not a buffet but very good. (you need a reservation)
My advice, get a multi day monorail pass the first day you arrive and if you want to drink go to Freemont as it is...
I get 550-625kms in my MSP in Calgary, and I warm my car up for 5 minutes when its cold.
Try using the block heater when its really cold out, my car starts up like a summer day if I plug it in for 30 minutes before.
