    Cambered Rear Vs. Weight Reduction Vs. Power Mods - Help Me Decide!

    Weight - I have generally found that 100 lbs. of weight reduction equals approximately .6 of a second reduction in time on a 2 minute lap time course. First you have to evaluate by using same course, same conditions, same equipment and setup. Also to be a driver that turns consistent lap...

    Team Fight CANCER had a great past weekend. Had Cancer Survivors sign our race car. We also did a charity bike ride and the Team raised over $14,000 for Cancer Research. Pretty awesome weekend.

    S197 Snoop the Sleeper 3.7

    Agree - Even running the V6 Cyclone engine it definitely requires a diff catch can and a cooler is suggested to prevent issues. No diff issues of 3 years racing this Mustang. Note: I also race Enduros.
