Hey Guys. From Michigan. New to the forum. Had a 87 Notchback 5.0 back in the early 90's. Then I got into Antique trackers. Now, I'm back into Mustangs.
My original goal was a Roush supercharged car or GT350. Then I found the PP2. Just wanted something somewhat unique. The car is used for occasional driving and maybe some tracks days for now.
I had my first experience at the M1 Concourse in Pontiac MI. Probably not the best place to start out. Is was an awesome experience and now I'm hooked.
Going to start searching this forum and others for the following info.....
Things that I'm thinking about:
- Now the shifter is in which trans fluid? Thinking amsoil…...
- The car calls for 5W30 for the track. I currently have 5w20 full syn Motorcraft. Not sure which direction to go here yet. Probably just put in and keep track oil in it.
- Tires - No complaints really but I might replace to save the sport cups.
- Half shafts at some point
- Shaftmasters one piece driveshaft - they are located in my area
- Supercharger / turbos maybe one day
- Cold air intake JLT...
- Some sort of cloth racing seat. Had to order the nice seats since my company makes them.
Hello everyone.

Hello and welcome!
BG Syncro Shift is a transmission fluid that has received great reviews for the MT-82 gearbox. I use it in conjunction with a MGW shifter and it made a world of difference. OP Mustang is a great vendor and sponsor here that sells it. https://www.opmustang.com/store/c3/TRANSMISSION_-_DRIVELINE.html#/
Bill's right. Use the SC2's for the track. They are a great track tire.
I would hold off on the half shafts until you Supercharge or add turbos. They hold up well to road course use.
Many with 2018's are reporting that the stock airbox flows great. There is debate whether spending the money on a CAI is worth it.
Oil is like religion... I tend to stay out of those conversations unless I have a question
Have fun!
