my buddy did a 2:13 in green conditions at VIR in a stock VN with just camber bolts and 200TW CR-S tires

In 2021, there was a VN with a JB4 and RE71R tires, the old set, and nothing else, that did a 2:11.218. You'll be surprised

That's actually really impressive.....A 2:11 is a very brisk lap.

do you ever notice a whine coming from the transmission with this fluid? switched over to synchromesh maybe 5k miles ago and noticed an interesting whine from the transmission within the last 1k miles ?
No, not that I've noticed. Do you have an upgraded torque mount?

rear motor mount? yes, i’ve got a PRL RMM installed, which i’ve heard exaggerates the trans whine. i was going to let it ride for a little bit since the track season is over and then change fluid to see if it helps.

I only ever noticed whine after installing a RMM.

I have the 27won RMM. Never noticed whine. Although I'd have to hear it over the rattles ? I'm ready to try another brand see if it's any softer while still maintaining some of the benefits.
