- ShifterX replied to the thread Multiple engine tunes for your street / track car?.So with your setup, the tune was based on the fuel, the application or both?thanks
- ShifterX posted the thread Multiple engine tunes for your street / track car? in General Mustang Forum.For those that have a true street / track car (arrive and drive), are you using one ecu tune strategy or multiple tunes depending on street or track?I have a 2011 5.0 but this can apply to any flash-able car. My thought was the tune should be...
- ShifterX replied to the thread New shocks / springs for street track setup?.The spring looks like a bespoke design that goes from an adjustable coil over coupler on the bottom to an oem style mount on the top.I would think if you selected an upper mount that had provisions for a coilover style perch you can just use a...
- ShifterX replied to the thread New shocks / springs for street track setup?.I got of the phone with H&R and the street performance coilovers are rated at 400lb front 290 rear. The design is an inverted monotube. Pretty aggressive for a "street" setup.However I guess some of the front rate would be used up with the...
- ShifterX replied to the thread New shocks / springs for street track setup?.Good point. From what I can find, .75" is the expected front drop on a GT. This would make it one of the stiffest (factory type) springs with a minimum drop.
- ShifterX replied to the thread New shocks / springs for street track setup?.That’s a good point on the clearance issue. The reason I even thought of that is from what I read researching Steeda comp boss springs. On paper they seem like what I am looking for. Slightly stiffer than the normal Steeda comp springs with...
- ShifterX replied to the thread New shocks / springs for street track setup?.Noticed H&R has some entry level coilover options. They seem to be endorsed by Kenny brown and Sam Strano for an “affordable” coilover. Two versions are street and RSS (club sport). I discounted the RSS for 3 reasons. Cost, spring rates...
- ShifterX replied to the thread New shocks / springs for street track setup?.Thinking of going very close to your setup @EF1. Or at least your previous setup. Koni yellows with Steeda hd mount and maybe comp springs. For my expected level of street vs track, this is probably the best balance.Just trying to figure...
- ShifterX replied to the thread New shocks / springs for street track setup?.Was looking at the Steeda plates and its the same thing with those as well. However the steeda plate supplies the bearing, just not the upper perch.

- ShifterX replied to the thread New shocks / springs for street track setup?.Yep, that was my concern as the thrust bearing is a fairly important wearable item. Would prefer that everything is replaced with the CC plates.
- ShifterX replied to the thread New shocks / springs for street track setup?.I wish bilstein made a pss kit for this platform. I was leaning more toward koni just because of adjustability.What would your bilstein setup look like?
- ShifterX replied to the thread New shocks / springs for street track setup?.Ok, I read the instructions on this cc plate. It must be unique.https://www.americanmuscle.com/mm-caster-camber-plates-2011-install.htmlgo half way down and you will see what I mean. This plate uses the factory upper spring perch and...
- ShifterX replied to the thread New shocks / springs for street track setup?.Don’t you need the upper spring perch from the oem mount? Thought I read that somewhere.
- ShifterX replied to the thread New shocks / springs for street track setup?.This is what I am trying to figure out. Even with CC plates I need to use an OEM upper spring mount, right? Does that also include the upper steering pivot bearing?
- ShifterX replied to the thread V2 Bama tune safe for the track?.Figured I would provide some updates on this. I decided to reinstall the JLT intake pipe and try the provided BAMA tunes. I downloaded the datalogging app from the X3 to see what it was doing. I did datalog some stock WOT pulls as a...
