Why do you think a "good" car should run .600 to .800 under right out of the box? Is that a new rule?
" wasting a ton of $$ and 6 months of my life trying to figure it out to be competitive???" Then I would suggest buying a used stocker.
Figuring it out is paramont to being successfull in stock. It starts with picking a good combo from researching the class guides and blueprint specs. Remember, there was a time you were a hero if you could even run the index. Now everybody thinks they can roll out of bed and run .800 under.
This is a tough sport and requires dedication as well as money. Even with a receipe card, not everyone is a good cook.
