  1. S550 PP master on S197

    Interesting, but what are the working chamber diameters for each MC? I assume the s550 has a larger MC dia, and that is what you are trying to gain. I heard there are a couple different parts for the s550 and maybe more than one for s197 as well. If someone has measured all of these, it would...
  2. 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 Enkei PF01’s

    I sent a pm but no response so far
  3. Antigravity RS-30 RESTART Car Battery

    I have heard 2 reports from customers that had issues with the “restart” tech fighting the car’s own voltage protection system. In both cases they switched to the normal ATX12 size without ‘restart’ circuitry and proceeded as planned. We make a mount for the ATX12 and I was planning to...
  4. Motorcycle Racer Fired After Grabbing Competitor's Brake

    Right or wrong, this isn’t that uncommon in the lower ranks of MC racing. Another common cheat is to hit the opponents kill switch. These guys just aren’t used to having cameras watching their every move.While he deserved to be punished, it wasn’t the life threatening move some websites have...
  5. Dead Lithium Battery

    AGM is still lead-acid chem. You need to use a lithium specific charge strategy and in this case one designed for bringing cells back from low voltage. You can ‘trick’ this battery into charging, but if you flood this thing with 2+ amps when those cells are that low, they are more likely to...
  6. Dead Lithium Battery

    Before you buy a new battery, try the tecmate optiMATE charger. I had one that was down to 2.5v and that’s game over, but I was told to try the optiMATE, and it recovered the battery. It’s roughly $50
  7. Hennessey 01 Mustang @M1

    Can you buy one, or do you have to buy the wheels and parts from another customer’s car while it’s in Henny’s Shop and use them to replace the parts when the Sheriff helps you get your car back from said shop?
  8. 'Race' / lightweight battery installations

    We have this available for s550 and s197: https://www.svtperformance.com/forums/threads/saving-weight-antigravity-battery-morris-engineering.1133785/
  9. 2012 Boss radio WANTED

    Any of you track rats have a radio sitting around, collecting dust, that has been removed in the name of weight reduction?thanks in advance, Matt
  10. Suspension Failure....You guys should see this

    Suspension Failure....You guys should see thisHonestly guys, it's great that you are "researching" the interweb and talking to the mechanic at the speed shop! WTF?!?Unfortunately, there is more to engineering than having a good look at the part...well, maybe not at whiteline ;)Riddle me...
  11. Suspension Failure....You guys should see this

    Suspension Failure....You guys should see thisAs an engineer, I don't think the complaints about Steeda are reasonable. This isn't a customer service problem, that Whiteline can somehow "make right". This part is a result of a development process that is clearly lacking...and most...
  12. Weight balance and scaling set up

    Are you currently below the class min weight?
  13. Weight balance and scaling set up

    This confirms my suspicion. Even stock cars cannot alter front / rear weight distribution significantly by adjustment. They are adjusting cross weight and corner balance. Ballast is the only real way to improve net distribution. And that only really applies if there is a minimum weight limit...
  14. Weight balance and scaling set up

    I'm guessing that from the op comments he may mistakenly think front/rear distribution can be adjusted with threaded spring perch / coilovers...
  15. Camaro ?

    I have a friend that has a new 1le. He knows what he's doing at the track so we should be able to answer this by the end of the summer. :)
