  1. Fatality at Daytona this weekend.

    As soon as Mathys stopped on the racing line, on the fastest section of the track, the black flag should have been thrown. There was no way to get rescue/tow vehicles to that spot without it. Hearsay was that Mathys had taken off his seat belts obviously this should not have happened. Thirdly...

  3. GT350 Track Tire Options

    Nankang AR-1 305/30-19 square on our '16 GT 350 R have been excellent, highly recommend them.
  4. GT350 Track Tire Options

    on our 350R, have run 305/315 MPSC2, 315/315 MPSCR and 305/305 Nankang AR-1's. The AR-1's were the fastest and their life is excellent. With fifteen heat cycles they are still smooth and suitable for street use. A new sticker set of course would be faster on track. At our local PBIR, tight turns...
  5. GT350 Track Tire Options

    I have had excellent results with Nankang AR 1 305/30-19 square on my R.
  6. GT350/GT350R Splitter

    Are the GT350 and GT350R splitters interchangable?
  7. GT350 Track Tire Options

    Tire Rack has Goodyear F1 Supercar 3R in 305F/325R for $1470 and free shipping. Considering for GT350R. Any feedback on GY Supercar 3R's???? 325's fit on rear????
  8. GT350 blown engine

    #8 connecting rod failure, quarter size hole through the block. Ford has instructed the dealer to "secure" the engine and send it back. Dealer will R&R with new engine under warranty.Tried to upload a 2.85 mb photo but got this pop up: The uploaded file is too large for the server to process.
  9. GT350 blown engine

    Roger that. FP recommends the billet part if it's modified or beat on. I found it curious that FP says the oil canister kit retrofits, but they wouldn't put it on your '16 at engine change out.
  10. GT350 blown engine

    FP does have an upgrade CNC billet steel Oil Pump Gear, p/n M-6600-M50A. The complete oil pump assembly is p/n M-6600-M52The gears can be replaced without removing the oil pan, just remove the timing gear cover. Question: Would you have to re-time the cams?Also, an oil canister conversion...
  11. How much front/rear camber is necessary to run Pirelli slicks

    May I ask how you're getting over 3.0 on front? With M&M's, could get -2.3 maximum.
  12. GT350 blown engine

    I agree, but I have fifty year oid Porsche air cooled race engines that still have the original case hardened steel oil pump gears. What’s the change out procedure on the FPC motor? Engine out, I assume.
  13. GT350 blown engine

    The failed GT350 is at a local dealer, I will report back with the outcome, what exactly happened.
  14. GT350 blown engine

    Did they upgrade the OPG? Seen mention of a canister oil filter in place of the spin on. Has Ford changed the filter? I’m relieved to hear Ford stood behind you. I love this car as a track car and everyone’s got me panicked to get back in a GT3!
  15. GT350 blown engine

    Not my car, a gentlemen from Orlando, FL. I’m tracking my 350R and want to proactively avoid that situation. Has Ford stood behind the failures, when the car is tracked?
