Thanks to @NightmareMoon and Zebulon the new rear wing is installed and it definitely works. There will be some front aero and rear suspension tuning required to rebalance the car.

It is, but that top end is sooo special. And there are so many places where having that 8250 redline is beneficial, for 1st and 2nd gear. I believe for a Mustang, the VooDoo is the motor to have for autocross. Add long tubes and e85 and that's the perfect motor.

Talk to 10 people and you'll probably get 10 different answers, but having had a Vortech on my car making 650 to the wheels it just wasn't usable on most autocross courses. I loved the power but was actually slower than I am now NA. I do wish I could add another 50 or so whp as I'm only at 430...

I've done bumper bars and strut bar (lighter version) and removed the washer bottle while I was in there. I can do 2 piece rotors in the rear, the aluminum center section, the rest of the A/C system, stereo and the previous listed carbon parts and the math doesn't add up to 3300 to me. Maybe if...

I'm thinking it would be harder than you think on an s550. It's a very heavy platform. An S197 can get to minimum for sure. I haven't pulled out all of the sound deadening but I'm told is around 10 lbs total. Probably less. My buddy with an SN95 found 5 lbs in his interior. I can't imagine the...

I don't drive me car more than 300 miles a year on the street so the CF doors with no cage doesn't bother me, and since the cage offsets the doors, I wouldn't do both. Its still a risk, but one I'm willing to chance. I mean, if and when I can afford the doors. Someone (Watson Racing) used to...

Nice list and I agree with prioritizing the lbs,/$, but what seats are you buying for $400? Between decent seats and mounts that's a $1000 to $2000 proposition for both of them. But at least you're gonna lose more than 50 lbs. as well! From what I've read CF doors on a S550 are worth closer to...

Were you on Yokes?

I used the NRG adapter and a Summit Racing quick release.

That relocation thing is hideous. I'd keep the Shelby wheel before I'd do that. The MMR thing seems like a nice answer but I already use my OBD2 port for something else.... But it shows how flexible CAN bus is.

I only wanted to keep the "OK" and arrows controls from the left side of the wheel. If you look at the pic I posted they are mounted under wheel to the left. I then mounted a horn button and a Dyno Plug switch to the right of the wheel.

Another off-season upgrade complete. Swapped out the GT350 wheel with the FP Sparco unit.

I'm in the process of swapping out my Ohlins R&T dampers for MCS 2-ways. I am planning on still running the divorced rear springs (1200#) and 700# front springs. The first thing I've noticed is how loud the rear dampers are. I can deal with a bit of squeaking (assuming that will go away after...

The rumor is a 315/30-18 and a 335/30-18 is coming from Bridgestone and some larger 19" sizes (no specifics given), but it's a 2 part rumor... The 2nd part is that there is a whole new Super 200TW tire is coming and it will include those larger sizes. Again, just a rumor at this point. And of...

It really does play with your head. I get raw timed by James Darden in his FS Camaro at pretty much every local event. I think I beat him on the east course by .4 so, yeah, all of the aero bits, stripped interior, bigger wheels/tires,.... And I'm 4 tenths quicker. My friend Brandon ran James's...

Agreed, it's not apples to apples when the run days are different, but in general, CAMC doesn't out-PAX FS very often. There are some great drivers in both classes, but for CAMC we are PAXed harder due to one driver that dominates the class. And hey, he's an UNBELIEVABLE driver. One could also...

Honestly you probably don't even need the kit to end up in the top 10. The leader in FStreet would be in 3rd in CAMC. But if you want to beat Schotz you'd better bring a lot.

Time for a season end wrap up. As I mentioned above, I had just done the last local event before Solo Nats. If nothing else it was a bit of an ego boost as I won CAMC which ran first at that event and beat the guy who had won every event he has run with his CAMC Mustang for the past 2 years. It...

I think I found someone local to retune the car, but like I said, it will be a winter project as the tuner isn't doing much right now as he is installing a new dyno at his house. I do like driving the Stones much more than the Yokes, but I'm taking the Yokes to Nats next week. They work well...
