The key to this is consistency... if you're not running consistent laps
to begin with, you won't be able to tell if the changes you make in
braking and turn in points are helping or hurting. The other thing to
remember is to experiment on one corner at a time. If you make a change
at two corners, and your lap time doesn't change, you may be making a
gain at one point and losing it at the other... you don't want to miss
out on any gains, so stick to one thing at a time.
