It's a new club that features Mustangs that go to Hallett. They are going to do an event once per year. They did a car show and a track day. Not a big turnout, but it was hot AF and I think I did more marketing for it than the actual organizer.
You could always come out this weekend...
Come out and play sometime!
This was a special VIP for a new Mustangs of Hallett club. They ended up inviting all car makes/models too. I'm taking my GTI this coming Saturday but will bring my Mach 1 for the October HST weekend. I hope to see/meet you there!
I could not agree more.
Trying to track that procharged 2016 GT was not fun. I spent as much time looking at my gauges and worrying about heat management than I did looking at the track. Hence why I went to my GTI (before I bought the Mach 1) for track days. Sad thing is my VW GTI...
Exactly, I put that fuel pump in almost the worst possible conditions and it passed the test. At first, I had reservations forking out that much money, but it was worth every dime. My previous 2 track weekends were not fun because I was dealing with that fuel cut. I thoroughly enjoyed this...
More power=more heat. Heat is your biggest enemy on track during a 20 minute session.
I have 1st hand experience with this when tracking the 2016 GT I had (mods in sig). Several others on this forum have battled it as well. A larger intercooler is going to reduce airflow through the cooling...
Yes to the problems w/the OEM pump. Ford issued a recall because they suck at making fuel pumps for the 18-23 5.0's. I was getting massive fuel cut tracking out of fast left turns and when over 6k rpm. I tried the DW400 pump and had the same issue. Tried the DW400 module. Same issue.
The...
Session 2 I intentionally started with 3/4 and ended with 1/4. No fuel cut. I did full tanks the other sessions. Didn’t want to do too much science testing.
Nope! Just the tabs holding the plastic radiator cover. Use a small flathead to remove the stock inserts, slip the new ones in. There’s a good video on their website.
New PR video. As my daughter says, I was "locked in". A 1:24.6 for a non-dedicated race car is in fairly rarefied territory at this track.
My car needs LT headers.
Fuel cut was happening when tracking out of turn 6/around the 47 second mark in the video.
I’ll update as the day goes on. I’ll do at least 5, maybe 6 sessions. It’s going to be hot here (104).
Session 1: It works. So far. Hopefully it continues this when the heat creeps up.
Zero fuel cut. And I set a new PR of 1:25.5 which is pretty damn good for a not-dedicated race car.
I also...
I ordered and installed these on my Mach 1. IMO, this is how Ford should have done it from the factory. Shipping was fast and install was easy.

3-4 mpg. Seriously.
But that's because my car is on E85 and I'm staying >6K rpm most of the time. Track use.
If I do drive it city/hwy then it's about 13-14.
Look, regarding the weight of the car, all cars made today are heavy AF. Thanks Uncle Sam for making so many damn useless safety features required. This car will be >4k lbs. Probably 4,200-4,300 lbs.
I HIGHLY doubt any 4 door Mach4 buyers will be taking this car to the track. I have seen 2...
Ok, I agree partially with what you are saying. But the Ranger thing has no bearing on the 4 door Mustang. A nicely equipped Ranger is F-150 XL money. That's a very base F-150 with none of the amenities the Ranger Lariat offer. And not everyone wants a full size truck. I didn't. I cross shopped...
