    S550 AJ Hartman Aero's GT350 Build

    Since yours is a Mag Ride you will eventually need these if you are going to do anything more than stockish rates and aero.https://shockdeletes.com/products/ford-mustang-electronic-shock-height-sim-kitDave

    S550 AJ Hartman Aero's GT350 Build

    Do what you can to check out the ABS prior to hitting the track, its important on these cars, if you loose ABS the rear will lock under heavy braking on stock spring rates as the weight transfers to the front and the inside rear tire will also lock on almost any trail braking event. The OEM bias...

    S550 GT350R Race Car Build

    I am guessing "IF" anyone gets the opportunity to pass you they are going to want to pass on the drivers side or risk an ear full of 7000 rpm screaming Mustang.Dave

    S550 GT350R Race Car Build

    Awesome I will be shaking down a new car for me and delivering another to a customer. It been a tough battle with parts vendors getting these two cars built this year. Everything is on Back-Order. The Ruby Red GT350 is a customer car and the Orange Fury GT is my new car till it sells. Both cars...

    Track Time Videos

    This track in particular in this FULL configuration is complicated to learn and quite a few people in the advanced group had never run Autobahn let alone in the combined layout. I understand every ones desire to be placed in the "Advanced" group in an effort to stroke their ego, but if you do...

    Track Time Videos

    Having a little fun with Black Boss (Nick) in his stunner of a Mustang, Sounds like thunder as he launches off the corners. We took turns sharing the lead and learning each others line while avoiding the slow moving chicanes. MVP Track Time advanced group session 3 - Both of us were on slicks...

    Lap Time Thread

    One day event, full track layout with MVP Track Time, lots of traffic, perfect weather and a lot of fun. Finally got to put together 3 laps without massive traffic jams. This is a very hard track to get a clean lap. Even if traffic is light there are so many turns, braking zones, and short...

    Building a 2020 10 spd. Ecoboost for racing. Inputs?

    SCCA touring does not, IMSA GT4 does not, not sure about GT3 or GTE. World Challenge would not but that may have changed.The theory in GT cars is the cage is a safety device and while it does enhance the cars chassis it was not intended to add rigidity beyond the need for safety to protect...

    Building a 2020 10 spd. Ecoboost for racing. Inputs?

    Before you paint, add a piece from your main hoop to your B-Pillar to complete the upper box structure between the cage and the chassis. That is going to be one stiff setup, you can likely remove much of the rear package tray support and tie the rear glass mount to the rear wheel arches for...

    Ask AJ Hartman - Aero Questions

    I added the scoop to my first build in an effort to avoid the eventual trans swap on all subsequent builds. I was not really ever thinking about trans temps with all the known issues of diff temps getting too high. While the diff does run hot and heats up quicker at higher speed tracks the trans...

    Ask AJ Hartman - Aero Questions

    Hey AJ,I watched all your Videos on the flat floor, I know you will see some airflow to the trans but I would be surprised if it is enough and by closing off the tunnel you will be trapping a large amount of heat in that airspace with little fresh air movement. I would plan on a pump and...
