I should also add that my current setup only last about 15-20 laps and
then the RF tire goes away on me, then i'm only running at about 159-162
best.I've also tried numerous driving styles, where i've tried braking a
little earlier just to get the car hooked up but as soon as i get back on
the gas i go straight out to the wall.

Try slowing down.  167 for race trim sounds to me like it would melt the
tires and make you push.  i think if you run maybe 164's and 163's youll
see a big diff.  with my open setup i run 164's and 163's along time
again sometimes i might hit 165 others towards the end a 162's.  but I
can go a full fuel stop of 38-40 laps depeneding yellows and such.

Does anybody have a really fast setup for pocono? The best lap i ever
turned was a 167.728 and I just can't seem to get the car to stop pushing
while exiting the turns.  Any input would be appreciated

thanks

If the RF is going away that quickly, then your car definitely has a push.
Trying moving some weight to the rear or reducing the crossweight.

If the push is only on the exit, you want to play with the balance of the
LR/RR traction.
Try increasing the shock and/or tire pressure on the LR. You can also
decrease the shock and/or tire pressure on the RR, but this will cause the
car to push more going into the corner.

Also, check out the tire temps on the RF and make sure they are fairly even
across the tire, with the inside temp perhaps a couple of degrees warmer at
the most.
