    Anyone running a boosted mustang on road courses? IE Streets of Willow?

    I have run a Whipple upgraded 2011 GT500 at Sonoma and Laguna Seca for years now. All sorts of upgrades to cooling and things to manage the engine. Currently upgrading to a newer rev of the 2.9 along with a ported / modded lower intake. Part of this upgrade includes the VMP intercooler with 1...

    Mustang Track Clubs??

    In the olden days, Rick did do a few gatherings of TMO folk here on the west coast for Sonoma and Laguna Seca track days. I have a TMO group pic from Laguna around here somewhere if there is any interest.
