- stevbd replied to the thread Building my Boss 302 to meet or exceed newer track mustangs.Agree with all of the above. A good coilover suspension with stiffer springs and really good dampers will be transformative, especially combined with 305 square setup tires. I think that’s your low hanging fruit if you keep the boss. (see full post)
GTP replied to the thread Advice on camber setting for track.@GAR944 that's what I thought you meant, i.e. throwing around numbers that only make sense when both people use the same "assumptions".That is why I think it is best to quote the toe-in by angle, and to declare "total toe" (L+R). Because we all... (see full post)
RinerAuto replied to the thread SN95 RinerAutomotive's CAM-T Mustang.After Bristol we traveled another 5+ hours west to NCM Motorsport Park in Bowling Green, KY for Summit Racing's Autocross Week! Autocross Week is a competition where we have 4 days of autocross at 3 different venues and we can only drive our... (see full post)-
bnight replied to the thread Advice on camber setting for track.overall you shouldn't overthink your alignment. For me -1.2 mm is almost the same as -0.12 toe. So What metric you use is not that important. Regarding rims sure they do play a role which is why most motorsport alignment is done with rims off... (see full post)
Rodpwnz replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.Anyone here have AJ's kit on the car? What is your spring rate and ride height and/or fender/wheel gap for the fronts?Anyone have helper springs with the AJ kit too?Wondering if the car will get lifted with the 400LB front springs - I quite...

honeybadger replied to the thread S550 Honey Badger GT350 Build.While I wait around for my shoulder to heal, I’ve been playing with cad. My goal is have a side skirt that covers rear wheel poke, integrates the exhaust exit and better seals the floor.Will pair with wider fenders of course. Starting here... (see full post)
GAR944 replied to the thread Advice on camber setting for track.If i say i run 1.2mm toe out, which is a common statement, no one really knows the true value without the other pieces of the puzzle. Where was that 1.2mm measured from. Where if we give and angle, it gives all the information in one package. Its... (see full post)
Hey all, looking at the tires below and if they will fit on the front of a GT350 mounted on Apex 19x11 ET52 wheels with a 25mm spacer. I'm sure they will clear on the rear but not sure about the front. I have run the Pirelli take offs, 315/720...-
GTP replied to the thread Advice on camber setting for track.Not sure of your point. Do you mean that they don't explain the process so that it makes sense? (see full post)

GAR944 replied to the thread Shameless plug OK here.Nothing wrong with being a P car guy. My user name is a hint. What is the link, love a deep dive into someone else's car stuff. (see full post)

RinerAuto replied to the thread SN95 RinerAutomotive's CAM-T Mustang.Agree, glad they figured something out for Sunday. I'm sure it was tough decisions. I was quite impressed with the shocks and suspension. That was the reason for changing to adjustable rear shocks this year. (see full post)

GAR944 replied to the thread Advice on camber setting for track.BUT then everyone gives a measurement but doesn't give the reference frame. That is the stupid part. Thanks for the links. (see full post)
JDmustang82 replied to the thread S197 Autocross/chassis help.Thanks for the tips! I will defiantly work on being smoother and practicing early entry and on throttle.What is MiDiv? so short answer is no haha. (see full post)- TeeLew replied to the thread Advice on camber setting for track.*Also, when I say 'at the rim', it's to differentiate it from 'at the tire center.' If you're really in a pinch, that's how you have to measure it.If you use the angle measurement, then rim size doesn't matter, but you'll sound more 'in the... (see full post)
- TeeLew replied to the thread Advice on camber setting for track.Your brain is right. If I'm talking about a car on a road course, then assume an 18" wheel. On a 19" wheel, add 10% to the measurement.This is a really good kit for measuring toe. It's much better than plates, because you're keeping a... (see full post)
Hi All.Throwing out my buddys youtube channel and his car stuff here? He works for the Tube but has a cool channel and makes some decent stickers and shirts.Hes a P car guy but and has a survivor 356 thats pretty damn cool...-
byronj replied to the thread Building my Boss 302 to meet or exceed newer track mustangs.Read this. You can make it exceed most things if your dedicated enough. Even with a junk yard engine.There are a few fast S197s out there and for handling I believe they have Cortex. While they make great stuff, I suggest you ensure they... (see full post)
- DaveW replied to the thread SN95 RinerAutomotive's CAM-T Mustang.Glad you avoided damage at Bristol. We also did, we have the way high ground there and have learned over 15+ years in lincoln and 10+ in Topeka that you never leave a tent up overnight if you want it back in the AM.Bristol is definitely a test...
