    Multiple engine tunes for your street / track car?

    5 different tunes for various fuels and applications. Shaun at AED did me right, one dyno session and once he had the car dialed in, additional different calibrations were easy and relatively inexpensive.

    Multiple engine tunes for your street / track car?

    I was using multiple tunes on my supercharged 2014 5.0. Very useful to me when alternating from pump gas or E85 for street, or E85 and 100 octane (when E85 wasn't available) on the track. The performance of E85 & 100 with an effectively tuned engine is... Remarkable, and safe.Never forget to...

    Your not alone, I'd like to understand it better too.

    This brake kit seems like a no brainer, right?

    Better still, replace it with a ducted plate for brake cooling.

    This brake kit seems like a no brainer, right?

    Wheel clearance is another issue for those with 18" wheels

    Maybe this wasn't such a good idea!

    It's not inconceivable that a rental car may have a tracker installed. If so it would likely be disclosed in the contact's fine print. Track use might be a violation of the rental agreement?

    S197 DeepImpactBlues

    I've taken a little time to make my frame repairs look halfway decent by using a bit of body filler to blend in the reinforcing doublers to the frame rail on both sides:And today I reached the point where I've got the engine bay completely stripped, and the dashboard out to the firewall...

    Best to read the fine print there, most insurance does not cover events that occur on a race track. Ask me how I know...

    Maybe this wasn't such a good idea!

    My thoughts exactly! After my experience a couple years ago, I'd hate to have to go outta pocket on a new (used to be!) Mustang, at least mine was paid for...I met a guy at the track once with a rented 718 Caymen and that could've been much worse

    Interest in Ford Racing Splitter?

    Yes. Pricing is a big factor. Staying tuned for any updates!

    S197 DeepImpactBlues

    It seems like every "afternoon" task takes me 3 times longer than I expected! Sound familiar? That being said, I have been able to make some progress in between going to work and life happening. I've removed a bunch of stuff from the engine bay, The "rat fur" firewall insulation, ABS module &...

    Sell or build the roller

    I'm no expert, but I think you could find a very capable S197 with a coyote (Gen 1 though) and have enough left to make a few upgrades.And, as you've said...

    S550 The best and worst decision of my life

    Sounds like you're now about to experience some deeply gratifying driving! If you're like me, that point at which you get the car set up as you'd like is an illusion, a carrot on a stick, never really attainable! Enjoy the ride.
