Peter92lx replied to the thread FoxBody Red Fox.That's exactly what they were trying to do it's a bit narrow through the shoot then you drop down. It wasn't much wider then my car. I appreciate what they were doing using both lots if they don't its a really tight short course around 28-30sec... (see full post)

Will anyone be at F1 in Miami? I'll be over by turn 5. (see full post)- EF1 replied to the thread Pressure mapping Quiz.I need to spend more time on TGM. I wasn't even close on this one. (see full post)
Ken R replied to the thread 3V Clutch ToB Spacing.Ah very cool, I have talked to him a handful of times and he's always helpful. Yeah I have some crude drawings and calculations that I will clean up and add along with some more pictures, if it helps anyone it'll be a success to me ha (see full post)-
blacksheep-1 replied to the thread 3V Clutch ToB Spacing.I work for Dean and brought my gt500 over there to do the clutch, and he talked me into a dual disc clutch, and I've been very happy with it. The Tremec in the gt500 has an integral bellhousing so trying to come up with a gap was problematic... (see full post)

Ken R replied to the thread 3V Clutch ToB Spacing.That was a good idea Mike and I did reach out to Dean to get some insight. He suggested a different way to make the measurements, the downside with this is you need to make one measurement before you take the original clutch off which I had... (see full post)
- DaveW replied to the thread Rebuild Trac-lok vs Torsen upgrade.When my car was in street class autox trim, I actually had to rebuild the trac loc 2-3x per year even with carbon clutches.Regardless, what I always disliked about the stock diff, whether it was fresh or not, and whether autocross or track...

- stevbd replied to the thread Rebuild Trac-lok vs Torsen upgrade.Set up right, putting power down off the apex is the S197's secret weapon. Google the Phoenix cars if you haven't already. Awesome stuff.I agree with others here that a torsen/eaton is definitely better than a trac lock. @RodS197's... (see full post)
Mad Hatter replied to the thread Pressure mapping Quiz.Boy, for an second I thought you were not going to put the answer. Felt like I was back in school again! (see full post)- ShifterX replied to the thread Rebuild Trac-lok vs Torsen upgrade.Appreciate this. Obviously not saying much but my car is the best handling solid rear axle car I have driven. What I mean by that, is the rear axle does a surprisingly good job of hooking up even with a near open diff. I am currently running... (see full post)
- ShifterX replied to the thread Rebuild Trac-lok vs Torsen upgrade.285 200TW is the plan. I am looking for more of a long wear kind of 200TW like maybe the GY SC3. I am not looking for a RE-71 type tire if that makes a difference.Paperweight is not very encouraging. (see full post)
RodS197 replied to the thread Rebuild Trac-lok vs Torsen upgrade.I used a Trac-Lok until my HPDE 4 days (2006 Mustang GT) when I replaced it with a Torsen T2R. At that point in my driving I noticed a huge difference, some under braking and most from apex to exit. The Torsen (I don't have experience with the... (see full post)-
blacksheep-1 replied to the thread Rebuild Trac-lok vs Torsen upgrade.IMO the T2 represents a significant boost in performance. I would def do that, as I'm not a fan of the Tru Trac, but some guys swear by them. (see full post)
