Yea all of that is pretty much spot on the plan. APEX wheels, cup2 305 square setup, wrapping the exhaust when it is installed on Tuesday, change rear diff fluid 75-145, upgraded radiator with water and water wetter, trying to decide between Ford Perf or Steeda suspension kit, stock clutch until it is toast.OP, you're getting lots of good info here and lots of chatter too. I would not dive in with many upgrades at once. Take care of your brakes first - high temp fluid (Motul, etc) and track pads. Then if you plan on tracking a lot, get a square setup starting with 305s, many run, as well as I, the Apex 19x11 with front spacer AND extended studs. Tires can be stocker Sport Cup 2s, GY F1 3R, etc, all not cheap but you can manage and rotate them to prolong life. Then, you will need front camber plates (GC is what I have) up to 3 degrees and do the corner balance right away so the car is properly set up.
I have wrapped the exhaust by the diff and has worked fine so far on hot days, just ensure you cool it between sessions. I have a fan that I shove underneath the cool it during breaks, helps! I have not needed a dedicated cooler setup although have it in hand for future install if needed.
Do install at least a passenger side Ford Perf oil catch can, driver side for extra insurance although you won't need it as much.
Have fun and log your progress. Again, don't throw too many variables at once, our cars will handle well with just the above upgrades to start with. Watch your temps during sessions.
I'm not that far off my friend's ZL1, about 3 secs at Auto Club's Roval 2.7 mi. FYI, PP2s are only made 2018-2020 I believe.
Going with a E85/Flex Fuel tune from PBD and a cold air intake for now. That will be the only power adding mods. I guess the exhaust might give it 5 to 10 also. (Yes I know most tracks do not have E85. I'll bring my own. It's just such a better fuel than 93 I am not going to not run it.)
Any track I run at is going to be extremely hot. South Florida or Arizona. I travel for work and they ship my cars back and forth. I have to plan for the heat.
