On a road course? With turns? No. Sorry. Take two cars, same everything except for suspension and wheels/tires. A stock car would be faster. Not only are you dragging 33lbs of weight plus extra weight at each corner, you're riding on air bladders, your sidewalls are over stretched, your wheels are unnecessarily wide which adds unsprung weight, and your suspension geometry is jacked! Plus, you'll likely get your camber settings wrong. Most people with adjustable suspensions don't have a clue how to set them up properly.

I am not against what you're doing. By all means, go for it. You have some nice performance upgrades on that car. But let's be clear. An air ride suspension with stretched tires is not a performance upgrade. It is a cosmetic upgrade that adversely impacts performance.
