Haha that's the one I'm looking at right now. It will not be something I get until much later. Kind of a last resort type of deal.

What wheels and tires are you running on your drag setup? Honestly at that power level you only need a stop the hop kit and the right tire setup and you should hook easily, especially on a prepped surface.

I have all of the things I listed. I went with BMR because I already had BMR springs and a chassis lockout. I personally don't think my NVH is bad* Disclaimer: All things considered It's a 1000+ hp car setup to drag race. It's not going to be a great ride compared to a normal car. I don't...

I don't think there is a 1 piece item to buy and fix all of the issues. But I imagine a combined setup of a Thermostatic Oil Cooler and a much higher quality radiator like the Mishimoto will go a long ways. Separate Trans cooler most likely. Then from there I would think air flow is going to...

Yea I suspect this is going to be by far my biggest issue. But they sell all sorts of stuff just for that luckily.

Grab the steeda stop the hop kit. Or BMR both are fine. Viking Crusader dual adjustable shocks for the front and rear. Remove the front sway bar. Chassis lockout. Start at like a 12/12 on the shocks and adjust until you start hooking. Also if you do all of that and still can't hook you don't...

I cannot go out and track a stock GT Mustang from a C8 Corvette and expect to have a good time... I will just end up frustrated at the car and over heating it. Plus the stock tire setup is what you would expect at that price point. It's a fine road car. But not for the track. I am not starting...

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...

I do appreciate the advice. But financially it is fine. I'm not going to miss track days for upgrades I promise you that. I'd rather have a good setup to learn the platform on than take it out, mod it, and have to learn the new limits of the setup. Rinse and repeat. Just set it up decent...

Haha trust me I can picture it now.

Just picked it up a few days ago. Just the stock cloth seats that say Mustsng on them. Very comfy lol. Not going to work for the track. Browsing seats on different websites.

It's a different car. 2018 GT Premium. Fully built out from the rear axles all the way to the block. Yea I want to avoid fighting the car if I can spend a few grand it's worth it in the long run for sure.

That thread is what really got me reading into the cooling on these things. I will be doing a few things to attempt to fix the cooling issue... better radiator, separate oil cooler, wrapping the exhaust near the rear diff, changing the rear diff fluid and running a different oil when tracking...

It's not my very first event. I have a few HPDE under my belt with my C8 Z51 Corvette. It's stock aside from pads and brake fluid. I guess the 2 quarts of transmission fluid and some other stuff GM does to keep the warranty if you track the car. I still very much consider myself a beginner but...

Gotcha. Makes sense honestly. I thought most road course cars were running square setups. But like I said I am much newer to the turning track world than the straight line one lol. If I'm going to buy wheels and tires I may as well buy all of the supporting mods at the same time. Wondering...

It is one of the fancy ones Steeda carries. https://www.steeda.com/mishimoto-mmrad-mus8-15-s550-aluminum-radiator#/filter:ss_ymm:Mustang$253E2020 Supposed to be like 77% better cooling than the stock performance radiator.

I keep reading about the PP1 and the PP2. There does not seem to be a choice on the 2022 model. The only option is a GT Performance package. Thanks for the info on the rear diff. I'll swap that out and do the heat wrap. I'll leave the stock ducting in there for now and see how it holds up. I...

Thanks you 2. Will be reading up. Found some good parts to start with on CJ Pony Parts. Misimoto radiator, proper rim and tire setup. Will probably get some Carbotech brake pads and see how it runs from there. Then test as I go.

Hey everyone, So I picked up a brand new 2022 GT. I am very familiar with the platform from a drag racing perspective but not from a road course event perspective. First thing I am noticing is that heat is a big issue for these cars. Seeing lots of threads on that. Checking Lethal Performaces...

I agree 100 percent. My 18 doesn't have a stock part left on it with the exception of the alternator and air conditioner. Everything from the motor and every piece connecting it to the aftermarket rims is different. Now it is designed to go fast in a straight line so a lot different than a...
