- stevbd replied to the thread S197 Boss Lite - 2011 Mustang GT.Thank you! Good eye. I have vorshlag camber plates. I run them in the upright position on the street (center of the strut hole) and move them to max negative camber on the track. This is a somewhat polarizing approach, not everyone loves it as...

- Bouncing Soul replied to the thread Bob's Ton of Posts!.I occasionally remind myself of this- usually when the kids say something like “dad you don’t count- you’re dad”. It’s heavy. (see full post)
- Champale replied to the thread Brake Pedal Feel (upgrade).I felt the same way when I got my 350R and still had my LS. I found a special sale of Stoptech 15" rotors and 6 piston calipers and, combined with Ferodo 2500s, the pedal feel was exceptional. Much firmer than OE and easy to modulate (in some...

- galaxy posted the thread Shelby Remote Clutch Reservoir in S197 Mustang Tech - GT, Boss 302 and GT500.Anyone running this? Just put one on my '12 GT and it's pretty trick. But then the Shelby website says "excludes Boss" and I know good and well I've seen them installed. Don't know what would be different.
- stevbd replied to the thread S197 Boss Lite - 2011 Mustang GT.Thanks! The track wheels are 19x11 LMR SVE R357, 50 mm offset with 305/30/19 tires, square setup... (see full post)
- galaxy replied to the thread S197 Boss Lite - 2011 Mustang GT.@stevbd What sizes are the SVE wheels and tires? Great build. (see full post)
- stevbd replied to the thread S197 Boss Lite - 2011 Mustang GT.That almost gets me to current day. At 196,000 miles and with a leaking rear main seal, I bit the bullet and decided to get a lift and do the job myself. “While I’m in there,” I did a new clutch and got my transmission refreshed with new...

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread S550 Does more power = more heat?.Almost 2 years later, but, When you say E85 "runs so much cooler," are you talking about intake temperatures, or does it make a measurable, observable difference in CHT and oil temperature? (see full post)- stevbd replied to the thread S197 Boss Lite - 2011 Mustang GT.In what was by far the most frustrating problem to chase down on this car, I finally traced a persistent random misfire to the engine harness having worn through and shorting out. This took me about 2 years to finally find and fix the root... (see full post)

TMSBOSS replied to the thread SN95 RinerAutomotive's CAM-T Mustang.Reminds me of the time Renault was introducing the Le Car. They brought a bunch to Road America and let anyone with credentials drive one in an event. No liability, no cost, no power, no common sense. Several were wrecked. (see full post)- stevbd replied to the thread S197 Boss Lite - 2011 Mustang GT.Looking to improve cooling on my stock GT, I installed a Fluidyne radiator and the Ford Boss style oil cooler setup.Unfortunately the Fluidyne leaked and has been replaced with a stock Boss radiator which so far has held up well.

- Bouncing Soul replied to the thread S550 2017 RTR Spec 5.the front was stock other than coil over so went back and forth but ordered SPL arms rather than sending the stock pieces to Cortex for bearings. I don’t like mixing suppliers but I liked the design of the AAD bits feeling they’re probably the... (see full post)

- Bouncing Soul replied to the thread S550 2017 RTR Spec 5.Well this is not good. It’s oily underneath and my diff is seeping, though not leaving oil on the floor- so I thought I had it. I also didn’t really care because it’s getting the Full Tilt diff cover/cooler kit and upgraded axles anyway. It... (see full post)
