you're pretty stock, right?

go like 15+ psi tire pressure in the rear, and take off your rear sway bar. trust me on this. for easy first free mods, it's a good place to start.

yes the dts eliminators help..makes your car easier tod rive.. Power shouldnt be a problem, Ive seen guys out there with SOHC KAs connecting the whole coarse.. This track is for all power levels..The goal is to get your fc to drive like a 240... lol
yeah do what John[oilcover said] take off rear sway bar, soften the rear settings, set the rear tire psi at 55 and work ur way down at the track if its too loose.. When you enter try feinting and then hold the clutch downand pull the ebrake , hold it up and as soon as the car is facing the crowd petal to metal, countersteer and just throttle control the sweeper in to the s[ or in ur case never lift and clutch kick!]... Or next time i can ride along with you and give some pointers!!!

oh that would be awesome if u could give me some pointer while riding along...i will try ur advice this next thursday hopefully i can make it out i just need to find some used tires for the rear.....and i just figured something out tonight i went to this empty abandon parking lot deep in the mountains and was trying something and i realized i can only drift or hold a slide going to the left but when i go to the right i dont seem to steer fast enough or something and just spin out.....man i wish i had powersteering im sure it would help out so much...
