    Oil Cooler Setup, Thoughts and Questions

    Right.... If I'm buying a new car, it's probably not another mustang. What a shame; there is so much potential with an A10 + Magneride PP1 GT.Are you still considering the Harrop solution at all?

    Oil Cooler Setup, Thoughts and Questions

    *Reviving the thread hereAs a casual HPDE'r who is not mechanically inclined at all, and has been reading oil cooler threads on/off for the past couple years....I still feel utterly lost and confused. Setrab/Derale this, sandwhich plate that, Temp sensor here, oil pressure there - truly feels...

    S550 ITALIAN STANG BUILD :2018 MUSTANG PP1 10 SPEED

    What are you currently hitting on track for trans and oil temps?If you are targeting 180-190F, would it be feasible to implement a sort of active airflow/grill/shutter system? My brother and I noticed his BMW will automatically open/close the grill during and after track sessions - I think...

    Wheels and Tires

    I agree with the Michelin A/S options, and I would also recommend the continental DWS06 plus. These are all season, not all weather. If you don't see yourself driving in snowy conditions often, the all seasons are perfect. I can't suggest to go square or staggered for your use case, but rotating...

    S550 ITALIAN STANG BUILD :2018 MUSTANG PP1 10 SPEED

    Wow! Trans is too cold!? Could you explain why you want it warmer? Is shifting and performance negatively affected?I'm still planning on doing 10r80 internal 190F bypass, and then installing 160F thermostatic valve in the lines between cooler and trans. I would guess 140F-160F operating temp...

    103db at Laguna Seca

    I'm assuming you have factory active exhaust? If so, you can set exhaust mode irrespective of drive mode. If you don't have active exhaust, then track mode shouldn't make a difference in exhaust note.I have yet to hit up Laguna, but I've run Thunderhill in all configurations in track mode...
