  1. SCCA CAM-C Thread

    fwiw, i had no problems putting 3x335/13 in the rear (with the seat delete), and one in the trunk (along with a WHOLE bunch of spares, etc) before i picked up a trailer. did have to remove the passenger seat once i moved to fixed-back sparco though, but was able to fold and move the factory...
  2. Random Aero Idea

    mine is carbon fiber :p ... but yes, everything was plastic on mine from the factory :)
  3. Best 200TW for the TRACK

    It already exists in Japan, RE-71RS. No ETA on arrival stateside yet, though.
  4. Best 200TW for the TRACK

    Yep. And you’ve got a great sponsored Falken driver in your region that runs CAM-T on 315 660s already (Chad Ryker). He loves them and has gotten even faster since making the switch from the 615K+ and was running at the front even before.
  5. Best 200TW for the TRACK

    i've tested back to back on both the track and autox with the GY SC3 (forgot to mention THAT tire too, it's been an expensive year). the A052 was superior on my current setup by over a second @ PPIR roval (high 60s vs low 62s) and over two seconds (high 60s vs low 63s) @ packwood autox. i had...
  6. Best 200TW for the TRACK

    holy necrobump! :) RS4 is a great endurance tire, since they wear like iron and tolerate all levels of heat. i use them for a regional racing series in a different car (lucky dog, similar to chump/champcar, without $$$ limitations). fwiw, i've tried the Rival S 1.5, RE-71R, PS4S and A052 this...
  7. The Big Fat Track Car Cooling Thread

    until you upgrade all inlets/outlets (on the radiator, h/e, pump), your flow will be restricted by the smallest bottleneck (most likely the 5/8" inlet/outlet on the manifold, although these can be upgraded to 7/8" on the Roush iirc) DOB has done analysis on flow with various components, both...
  8. The Big Fat Track Car Cooling Thread

    this is an early production triple titanic heat exchanger made by the department of boost. in tandem with the 26A water pump and -20AN lines used throughout (including manifold inlet/outlet), the cooling system flows ~28gpm and keeps IATs much lower than anything else available in the market.
  9. The Big Fat Track Car Cooling Thread

    sorry, that was a mock up pic from the offseason - OEM fan is mounted, no extra fab needed to make that happen.
  10. The Big Fat Track Car Cooling Thread

    100% this. Case in point: Fluidyne. Their proprietary tech is all in air fin and tube design (in tandem with an oversized 3" 3-pass core). FWIW, I never have coolant/CHT issues with their radiator (combined with full fencing), even in less-than-ideal conditions running 15 minute sessions @...
  11. What's the name of this plug?

    great timing, i'm replacing all (4) of mine tonight! ... and yes, it's the VCT solenoid (WPT-1506 is the service part number) these plugs fail from the factory eventually, due to the thin wire gauge used - especially if you track your car (the wire gets brittle from heat cycling where it's...
  12. extra cooling: most bang for the buck? What temp gauge to look at?

    i don't have my car in the garage at the moment to confirm fitment, but don't recall being concerned when i plumbed it a few years back - and it's been through the ringer since then! no failure yet. FWIW, i have delrin subframe and poly diff bushings though, so any diff carriage movement is...
  13. extra cooling: most bang for the buck? What temp gauge to look at?

    I have an adjustable relay that I currently have set for 200deg. Once the pump starts running, temps stabilize at 200 for me, regardless of average speed, session time, etc. I run very thick oil (80W250) so don’t want it lower than that, although I could set it lower if I wanted. Now that my...
  14. extra cooling: most bang for the buck? What temp gauge to look at?

    Ohhhhhhh, I thought you were implying the FTBR kit was double the price it should be due to the cover being included, my bad. Yeah, that Ford kit price is criminal, but has nothing to do with the cover and more to do with the Shelby/GT350 “tax” methinks :)
  15. Time Attack Mustang Owners

    there's a time attack component in optima, so i guess i do? :) had intentions to do the SCCA TT/GTA event at the ridge this year, but the weather was shit so i went to laguna that weekend instead. definitely next year! and probably some NASA TT @ thunderhill/sonoma.
  16. extra cooling: most bang for the buck? What temp gauge to look at?

    no, since the wiring is all upstream - you could reuse your existing cover and just add AN fittings in the fill/drain holes.
  17. extra cooling: most bang for the buck? What temp gauge to look at?

    that statement is a tad... hyperbolic :) all the diff covers i've picked up from WBL over the years (15, 16, 17) were ~$60 also the reason FTBR is including a cover is because of thermostatic control - you need to drill/tap a hole for the sensor (or a 2nd one if you have a newer model with a...
  18. Good, cheap, user friendly, Track app

    i still remember the first time i ran out of space on my 214mb hdd, and added an 850mb drive when napster came out in 98 - and promptly filled that up in a few nights due to the T1 dorm network i was on :crackup: what's a few tb these days? send it to the cloud! especially since gopro plus...
  19. Good, cheap, user friendly, Track app

    possibly, but 720p/30fps is never gonna look as good on a 65" 4k TV ;) my guess is OP is looking for a good out-of-the-box solution though, so it might be the droid he's looking for. just presenting a cheaper alternative if willing to put in a bit of work :)
  20. Good, cheap, user friendly, Track app

    to capture video/audio, i use a gopro hero 6 black @ 1080p/60fps w/ external mic mounted on the rear bumper. for data, i use a solo 2 dl connected to the obd-ii port, which captures a LOT (speed, rpm, throttle position, brake pressure, steering angle, IAT, CHT, oil temp, long/lat g, etc etc...
