Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Vorshlag S650 Camber Plates + OEM Struts + 19x11 Square Setup.Would you mind coming back and reporting to us how many track days you get out of that 3R tire?It is 100 tw. I have been thinking about running it in a 19" size, but I did not want to have to buy a new set after every track weekend if that is... (see full post)- TeeLew replied to the thread Opinions on Current Setup for Dual Purpose Street/Track.I see no reason to increase the rear spring for most people. The advantage to AJ's (or others) rear setup is to have control of rear ride height, not for the ability to run super stiff springs. IF you have understeer, there are 10,000 things you...

Mad Hatter replied to the thread Header Questions.I guess you can say its a sum of all the additions you do to your car. For example, if you do a Cobrajet manifold with 67mm twin throttle bodies and a huge CAI, you have to improve the exhaust end as well or you do not get much to show for it...

Maybe i need to go test drive lol (see full post)
- WeDgE63 replied to the thread How to install GT500/FR500 ABS modules on 2004 and older mustangs.Would you be willing to email the 05-09 Mustang profile to me?I’ve looked all over the Forscan website and there’s no way to get a hold of those guys!I’m trying to access the ABS bleed procedure via Forscan and I can’t get past the PCM check...

- AirBiscuit replied to the thread Opinions on Current Setup for Dual Purpose Street/Track.I just revisited your response, and ironically I ended up placing an order for the 400lb front spring from AJ's site. I had to do a double take because I remember you said thats what you did. It's come full circle haha. Did you go with the stock... (see full post)
- AirBiscuit replied to the thread Opinions on Current Setup for Dual Purpose Street/Track.Just placed an order for the 400 spring from AJ's website. I am going to leave the rear Ford Performance spring alone, and see how it rides. Different forums have reported that the rear FP spring is rated between 750lb - 850lb. One chart that I...

Rocky400 replied to the thread Vorshlag S650 Camber Plates + OEM Struts + 19x11 Square Setup.I swapped to Goodyear F1 Supercar 3 tires, and the wear wasn't bad. I took this pic Sunday morning of the front tires while doing a rotation. Saturday both myself and my friend were running the car in back to back sessions (transmission on his... (see full post)-

Rocky400 replied to the thread Vorshlag S650 Camber Plates + OEM Struts + 19x11 Square Setup.It felt fantastic, between that and new tires I felt much more planted and the car handled great. (see full post)

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Vorshlag S650 Camber Plates + OEM Struts + 19x11 Square Setup.How did the tread look at -2.4°? I am guessing they were still worn toward the outside edge after Road Atlanta.What camber plates are you using? (see full post)
- TA28 replied to the thread We are looking for front shocks AST with lower control arm for a Boss 302S and R.They are different. Ball joint stud is bigger.think 21mm not 19mm. Call watson racing. Or dean at khor motorsport (see full post)
EricH replied to the thread Vorshlag S650 Camber Plates + OEM Struts + 19x11 Square Setup.How did the new square setup feel on track? (see full post)-
EricH replied to the thread Vorshlag S650 Camber Plates + OEM Struts + 19x11 Square Setup.New setup installed today. I pushed the camber plates as far as I could, put on the wheels, and measured about 6-8mm of strut clearance up front. (see full post)

- CarSalesman replied to the thread We are looking for front shocks AST with lower control arm for a Boss 302S and R.Are your Boss control arms different than the FR500S? My FR500 arms are the same as S197 GT500. Those are available at all the usual Mustang parts suppliers. (see full post)
dave2278 replied to the thread S197 Redrum "GT350".No pics today, but the harness and ECU came today and it’s alive! my oil cooler adapter has a crack so I have to replace that, it will be here Saturday. Wish I could have gotten it tomorrow, then I could hit an autocross Saturday.Driving it... (see full post)- Champale replied to the thread Header Questions.Isn't a lot of the hp gain simply in getting rid of the cats (or going high flow)? Why not keep stock manifolds and side pipes and just replace cats with your choice of high flow cats or test pipes? I seem to recall some back-to-back dyno tests... (see full post)

Mad Hatter replied to the thread Header Questions.Side pipes were nice to listen to, but they had the car black flagged from most tracks down here. (see full post)
mwjscn replied to the thread Header Questions.Is your goal to keep the OEM side pipes, and therefore the factory H mid-pipe? It's an important consideration because I believe almost all of the long tube header options don't work with the factory mid-pipes since they come much further back... (see full post)-
Rocky400 replied to the thread Vorshlag S650 Camber Plates + OEM Struts + 19x11 Square Setup.I moved to a square set up about a month ago before going to Road Atlanta. With 25mm spacers on the front and 20x11 all around. Running 305/30/20 on all corners. Atlanta has a few spots of noticeable compression so I definitely had slight rubbing... (see full post)

- galaxy replied to the thread OPM Lug Nut - Torque Concerns.Brand new car with brand new wheels; surfaces are clean. Dry threads. I typically lightly lube threads (anti-seize or ARP ultra-torque), but because these are the coated lugs, per OPM guidance, I did not lube with anything. (see full post)
