blacksheep-1 replied to the thread S550 How do you mark your tires?.I just use a paint marker from Walmart, if I'm handling more than 1 car, I use a different color marker for each car. Tires that I use really don't last long enough to use a spreadsheet. (see full post)-
blacksheep-1 replied to the thread Building my Boss 302 to meet or exceed newer track mustangs.The Boss302 platform had to be legislated out of competition to give the Gt4s a fighting chance. IMO, it's still the high water mark of the Mustang platform, with a few exceptions like maybe the Gt350. And..uhhmm just stick with a panhard bar. (see full post)
10 years ago I took my Saleen 4.6 3V to Summit Point for the fifth time, and threw a rod. My fault completely. So, time for an upgrade. I installed a forged Ford Racing shortblock, some CNC heads, mild cams (boost), and an oversized 10 quart...-
Bill Pemberton replied to the thread Shameless plug OK here.Thanks for the post , love the save the Planet shirt, though my oldest car is only 13 years old yet it is a guaranteed classic!

GAR944 replied to the thread Advice on camber setting for track.Not having a go at anyone, far from it. Hadn't done the maths in my head as to degree of accuracy between methods either.

Bill Pemberton replied to the thread Tire fitment on front of GT350.Good info from Mr. Loudcar and though many run 305s and 315s, the 325s are super tricky. Depending on what you are trying to accomplish there are other solid choice besides the Goodyear F1 3Rs, though a set in 305/19s is still a good option. (see full post)

mavisky replied to the thread Tire fitment on front of GT350.I run the 19x11's up front with 305's easily. I wouldn't feel as comfortable running a 325 on there unless it's a very narrow 325. I would want an 11.5" up front at the very least. According to Apex the preferred front fitment for something that...

It doesn't really matter...they're all bad. The GT500 spring is the only one worth talking about. If you're not going to go at least that far... (see full post)
- TeeLew replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.Those sound like the Mach 1 non-Magneride combo? Is this a Magneride car? Ford doesn't change the physical spings very often, because it's expensive to do. If this is on a MR car, then they've made a new spring for us. You'd have to be able to... (see full post)
- JAJ replied to the thread 2021 Mustang Mach 1 HPDE - What is a high cylinder head temp?.I used to look carefully at temperatures in my track cars but I eventually realized that "there's a computer for that" that takes care of the engine and drivetrain and if it gets too hot, it'll cut power to protect the equipment.These days...
