TMSBOSS replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.I added oil temp, low pressure and water temp gauges to my Mustang when I started tracking it.

(see full post)- cjatrains replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.I was driving with SCDA, Monday & Tuesday 7/13 - 7/14, the INT2, Intermediate Lvl2 group.

cgornowich replied to the thread S197 3V Chasing an Oil Leak.Thanks for the advice and insight. I think I'm going to "smoke" the crankcase and see if the leak is at the rear of the oil pan, at that rear crank seal plate. If so, I'll remove and reseal it, and smoke her again. That's where I'll start... (see full post)- CarSalesman replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.@cjatrains what day and operator were you with? I was there July 1 and 2 with Chin.

Bill Pemberton replied to the thread S550 How do you mark your tires?.I follow the Blacksheep method or just watch where the tire lays over . Often, for me, simply sight studying each run is a way to focus on if my tire temps are working. A weekend may start with markings at a track and if things are working I... (see full post)

mrw2442 replied to the thread SN95 1994 Cobra #1555.Thank you! I am not building my car for any particular racing class. Just HPDEs and some occasional street driving. I am thinking of starting to save for some more power. I went suspension first and don't regret it one but but with stock power... (see full post)- TeeLew replied to the thread Mach 1 Track Build & Dark Horse Overheating + Trans Failures – Need Proven Cooling Setup.I don't know if anyone has made the A10 transmission work well for track duty. It's going to take a fair amount of coolers and venting to get things under control. (see full post)

Mad Hatter replied to the thread Mach 1 Track Build & Dark Horse Overheating + Trans Failures – Need Proven Cooling Setup.You have the better tremec transmission but in may case I went through some five MT82 trannies at the track.

ArizonaBOSS replied to the thread Mach 1 Track Build & Dark Horse Overheating + Trans Failures – Need Proven Cooling Setup.PWR is as good as it gets. Anyone looking for things other than this for serious track use should not only compare the physical size of the radiator but also the fin/tube density of PWR compared to whatever you are looking at. On the S197 the... (see full post)-
Bill Pemberton replied to the thread S550 Brake pad questions.Do not consider an R10 for the front, not enough heat resistance there , though they are fine for the rear.

- Ring_Mach1 replied to the thread Mach 1 Track Build & Dark Horse Overheating + Trans Failures – Need Proven Cooling Setup.That's impressive. Once the ambient temperature reaches around 22°C (72°F), I can get my Dark Horse up to 140°C (284°F) oil temperature pretty quickly.That said, those are still the calculated values from the factory system. I really need to... (see full post)
