  1. Please help a newbie with GT350 camber

    Good point. It certainly is an expensive hobby. From everyone's responses, if I do anything, it'll be camber plates and running something moderate on track until I improve, and switch back for the street. I'll just monitor tire wear as I go and adjust if needed. Thanks for all the responses and...
  2. Please help a newbie with GT350 camber

    Thanks. Do you run the same set of SS on street and track, or do you swap out? Do you drive much on the street. It's not my DD by any means, but I'm on pace for around 3,000 miles a year.
  3. Please help a newbie with GT350 camber

    Yes, track pack. I totally agree that I need to work on my driving as far as the performance benefits of setting the camber, but are you saying I can run it stock and not worry about wearing the outsides of the tires because I admittedly won't be pushing the car hard enough until I get better...
  4. Please help a newbie with GT350 camber

    Thank you both. Is the rear not really worth worrying about? Or which is more important, just leaving it where it is for the street, which most of my driving will be done on, or do I want to add some negative camber? I'm guessing the rear is something that I'm not going to want to deal with...
  5. Please help a newbie with GT350 camber

    So if went with the plates, the benefits would be more adjustability, and relative ease of changing between street and track settings? With you recommending -1.8 for me, and saying that you ran -2.0 on your Boss without excessive wear on the street tires, are you saying to go with plates to get...
  6. Please help a newbie with GT350 camber

    Any idea how much you can get with camber bolts? I thought he said they were able to get around -2 with the bolts, but I could be mistaken. But if that's the case, I'd rather spend $30 for bolts vs $200 for plates if possible. Im just starting out on the track, which is why I don't think I need...
  7. Where's Wally

    Congrats on the 17. Is it going to be another R? Looking forward to more of your posts either way.
  8. Please help a newbie with GT350 camber

    So I was talking with a local race mechanic, and (hopefully I'm getting this right) I think he said if I wanted to do a moderate adjustment, one that I could just set and leave for both the track and the street, that I could just do camber bolts in the front, and I think he said you can get...
  9. GT350 Track Attack Program

    I've never been on a track before and almost didn't do the track attack. Let me just say that I am so glad I did it! The instructors were awesome, and I had a blast! My only "complaint" was I would have liked more track time. I only did the one day as I wanted to minimize the time away. And...
  10. Introducing "Project 6GR" Spun Forged wheels For S550 Mustang & GT350

    Re: Introducing "Project 6GR" Spun Forged wheels For S550 Mustang & GT350 True, but does anyone know how much is "enough" to prevent throwing a lug nut in this scenario and are they actually going to stick their neck out there and state a torque number?
  11. Introducing "Project 6GR" Spun Forged wheels For S550 Mustang & GT350

    Re: Introducing "Project 6GR" Spun Forged wheels For S550 Mustang & GT350 I'm just putting this out there so that everyone is aware. A while back, I contacted Gorilla and asked the tech there if putting a closed lug over an open lug was ok. Now I'm sure part of this may have been from...
  12. Upcoming TMO Layout Changes

    Oh, and @jmbboss302 deserves a commission, too. I came for the GT350 order tracking, and stayed for the GT350 race tracking.
  13. Upcoming TMO Layout Changes

    Keep up the great work, Rick! Credit to Ford, too, for making such an amazing car in the GT350. I can only imagine the boost in visitors and new members that correlated to the release of the 350. I've never tracked a car before, and have never heard of this site until I got my 350. Needless to...
  14. Introducing "Project 6GR" Spun Forged wheels For S550 Mustang & GT350

    Ok thanks. I was asking about Ricks exact setup with ARP studs, his wheels, and the front spacers. But I think you gave me enough info that I can make a good enough guess.
  15. Introducing "Project 6GR" Spun Forged wheels For S550 Mustang & GT350

    Thanks. Looking forward to seeing pictures of your car once you get time to mount the tires. Do you have any track time planned for trying out your new setup, as I'm interested to hear how much of a difference the sport cup 2's and square setup make? And if you happen to get a chance while...
