TVR Griffith 500 '94

TVR Griffith 500 '94

Tried this tune on the '02 Tamora with oil change and at max hp ~ 536 / max pp @ 570, full weight reduction. After a couple laps to get a feel for this tune, then 3 laps on RS tires your excellent tune helped me lay down a 1:24.2 at Trial Mtn. I wondered what "WE" (I say WE because this is still your tune bud) could do if I made just a few changes. Leaving in place some ofg the settings - these are the modified settings: RH: 91/96, SR: 6.35/5.65, Comp: 3/4, Ext: 5/7, ARB: 3/2, Camber: 0.0/0.3, Toe: -0.07/0.00, Brakes: 6/5
Trans: MaxSp: 205, 1st) 2840, 2nd) 1870, 3rd) 1360, 4th) 1060, 5th) Final Gear: 4300 (as mentioned prior this FG was at Trial Mtn), Differential: 6/14/30 - Standard clutch (double and triple clutches caused excessive wheel spin but I intend working with the LSD to use the triple clutch as I feel the car may accelerate quicker off the apex with a triple clutch)
Left all other settings At this point YOUR tune with these modifications helped the car and myself cruise to a 1:23.3 ~~~ at this point. I am certain we can find a high to mid 1:22 with good driving and throttle control. More to come,, but Thank you Thrasher!! Wonderful,, 5 STAR set up pard!

I'm very honored that you found this tune helpful. I'm especially interested in the fact that the tune also seems to work on the '02 Tamora. Didn't realize they were that mechanically similar. I'll have to try out your modifications and see how that works out, with both the Griffith and the Tamora.

Thank you very much for your feedback!
Pretty good setup, Only part I dont like is it feels like it has a lot of mid corner push and even with the diff brake sensitivity at 5 it doesnt get any lift throttle oversteer.

Mid corner push? So for you it washes out in corners?

Interesting. I think I might have to revisit this tune pretty soon, see if I can't improve it.

Thank you very much for the feedback!
I like it. You've turned this handful of a car into a competitive racer. some of my other cars at 550pp put in slightly better lap times, but this one is fun to drive, can hold it's own, and handles better than some tunes I've seen for it. (I left off the exhaust and intake to get maximum power-to-weight at 550pp where I ran it).

I ended up with brakes at 8/6 and LSD at 8/8/33 (on racing tires), but that's just personal preference. I do notice the nose really seems to dive down under heavy braking, but it doesn't seem to effect performance much and I'm not sure that feature is really a "problem"

Thank you very much for your feedback sir! It's good to know that my first tune was a decent one.

I'll check out the changes you made, and if they make the car easier to drive (heaven knows it can be a little tamer) I'll update the tune.

Thanks again sir!
