@twistedneck This isn't your precise setup but on my '11 GT I have the Cortex Koni coilovers with their offset strut and run SVR LME 19x11 with 50 mm offset, usually with a 305/30/19 Goodyear SC3R. With that setup the tire just barely rubs the front strut housing with no spacer. No rubbing in...

3-2-1, I was referring to the gen3 shortblock, gen2 heads, gen1 timing combo. I have a 2011 that is a street/hpde car not a dedicated track car. I like the look of these combo motors with gen3 shortblock but I would want the flexibility of running pump gas without having to change everything...

@Mad Hatter this is very interesting and helpful information, thank you for sharing. Is it not safe to run a 3-2-1 motor on track with pump gas, or is it more a matter of using E85 or race gas to optimize the setup?

Scary. Glad you’re ok, thoughts and prayers for your whole community.

I would start by replacing the fuel pump. Remember that the fuel filter is a "lifetime" part built into the in-tank fuel pump and is non-serviceable. It gets dirty and clogged like any filter but the only way to replace it is to replace the whole pump assembly. I broke apart my old fuel pump...

Set up right, putting power down off the apex is the S197's secret weapon. Google the Phoenix cars if you haven't already. Awesome stuff.I agree with others here that a torsen/eaton is definitely better than a trac lock. @RodS197's description is how I feel about mine and I agree that if...

I'm not understanding this comment. An Eaton or Torsen won't lock up both wheels either, quite the opposite, no? I think that is their biggest advantage.

@ShifterX I went from a functioning OEM trac loc to an Eaton in my 2011 GT. Similar to you, I usually run in advance level HPDE and my car is daily street driven.In that context, I found the Eaton to be a noticeable but not transformational improvement. My lap times before and after were...

@ShifterX agree with @EF1, every CC plate I've seen includes the spring perch and bearing as part of the assembly. Yes, the size of those elements will vary depending on the spring and shock you are using. Your new CC plate is the upper strut mount. You don't use the oem strut mount or spring...

Neither. You definitely want adjustable camber plates. In terms of ROI on track, CC plates >> adjustable dampers or spring heights, imo.

You may want to double check this, as a lot of clubs make an exception for the 4-point Schroth QuickFit system as it has anti-submarining tech built in. It's designed to work with the stock interior and factory Recaros and you don't need a harness bar. In my region I have had no issues passing...

I have the basic Cortex Koni coilovers. I like the overall quality, offset front struts, easily adjustable spring rates, height adjustability of course, and the true rear coilover location. I didn't like the camber plates they used (I think they were GC?) and swapped in my Vorshlag CC plates...

I'm almost positive the 4-piston GT500, Boss, and "Brembo" or "Track pack" calipers are all functionally the same with only cosmetic differences. Here are the GT500 version for $260 per side. https://www.tascaparts.com/v-2011-ford-mustang--shelby-gt500--5-4l-v8-gas/brakes--front-brakesI've...

Same here. I have the 14" 4 piston Brembos and swapped to GT500 rear brakes because I was frying axle seals. The bigger rear brakes fixed that problem but honestly I didn't notice any difference in actual braking balance or performance, either on track or street. On track I run GLOC 12 in...

@mwjscn I'm sorry, I misunderstood the reference to dust shields. Good catch.
