2J PP reduction

[MadCyclist]

My first original thread, I just hope it hasn't been discussed already and I don't get chewed out.

I'm using a 600PP Chaparral 2J with lldantell's suspension tune and my own gearing, with 900kg at 0 ballast and the necessary horsepower reduction to get this PP value (I think 489hp), but I was wondering if there might be a better way to get that value or lower without sacrificing performance? I'm running in the Tsukuba 750PP seasonal event and winning regularly with only occasional restarts due to skid recovery force correction induced mistakes.

Several people run it with dirty oil. Especially in the tougher time trials. I borrowed someone's dirty oil 2J for the autumn ring time trial about 6mos ago when nothing else I tuned would get the required time. Got it on the first lap

Add weight instead of lowering hp.

Thanks for that. I've actually raised the weight without raising the power back up (lowering PP further) with the same amount of success and better bonuses.
