Junkyard Dog replied to the thread S550 Alignment Strategy.Is he going to be able to do 1000 miles of street driving on his Nitto G2 tires with -3° of camber? He is looking to do both without changing the camber. I don't know the answer. It is a sincere question. (see full post)-
Junkyard Dog replied to the thread S550 Alignment Strategy.That is one of those, "Duh!" things, but for some reason I did not think about it until you posted. 🤔😆 (see full post)

WVTrakPak replied to the thread Little help on Rear End Puking on track.It is street driven. I have a Watson roll bar and am not opposed to modifying but I am not crazy about the idea of installing it in the trunk. We like to run the Dragons with friend groups and I dont want to go that far.Honestly I thought the... (see full post)
Stangra replied to the thread Little help on Rear End Puking on track.I had the CorteX vented catch can, mounted as designed on the differential cover and it still puked fluid. I relocated it as high as I could get it, above the wheel well liner there's space by the fuel fill. Same benefit as trunk mounting without... (see full post)
ArizonaBOSS replied to the thread Little help on Rear End Puking on track.What level of prep is your car? If you are doing track only, you could put a vented catch can up in the trunk space so you have the volume of the line and the can for the fluid to expand, but also the ability for the fluid to drain back down...

Stan Whitney replied to the thread S550 Alignment Strategy.For stock suspension and the relatively sticky rt660 I'd suggest going to your max front camber - as close to 3 (stock suspension will have a bunch of body roll on the sticky 660s). The rest of the setting s look good. Then just enjoy the seat...

WVTrakPak posted the thread Little help on Rear End Puking on track in S197 Mustang Tech - GT, Boss 302 and GT500.2008 Roush Trak Pak and it has the Eaton TruTrac from Roush. At Rockingham, the rear puked quite a bit. The banking was a cause on this I realize. The overflow tube from Roush just sends it on the wheel.After the Rock, I added a Boss 302...

RedStallion27 replied to the thread S550 Alignment Strategy.Oh that’s a great point. Makes sense. Thanks. (see full post)
Rodpwnz replied to the thread S550 Alignment Strategy.If you are only changing camber via top of strut camber plates then wheel/tire to strut clearance should not change. With our McPherson front strut system, the wheel hub and the strut are fixed and move together with camber changes. (see full post)
bnight replied to the thread S550 : rear brake upgrade, ran the numbers and got a surprise.I think @Fair used a Factory Boss302R ABS in his car but he runs custom ECU no reason why the FP350 unit (M-2323-D) will not work but you will still need a custom ECU to make it work properly at least the ABS was reasonably priced at around $1200...

bnight replied to the thread S550 : rear brake upgrade, ran the numbers and got a surprise.The OEM ABS on this things is made for Street cars if the rear sees more than 1.2G of braking it triggers the ABS Ice mode. What cure it for me was going back to OEM rear pads. But in your case RSL 29 should be very close in mU to rear pads but... (see full post)
