Yesterday was my first track day at Putnam Park Road Course. So many great recommendations on this thread. Thank you!
Few points to catch you up on. I took the recommendations here, set the rear camber at max which I was surprised was -3.1 (with the steeda camber adjusters). Thought the max...
I'm curious everyone's opinion on toe out for the GT350 for track use. if -0.52 (think you meant, +0.52 total) is a bit too much what do you tell the shop to set it at?
Also assuming you don't touch the toe from the factory, you install CC plates, and max the camber out, the toe should go...
Good stuff! I did the same a few months ago and Vorshlag told me the same thing. Since everything is stock suspension wise the vorshlag plates in there least camber setting is right around -1.1 it -1 which is the factory camber spec. I measured toe and it was the same as before I installed the...
I broke down and bought the Vorshlag CC plates :)
Very easy to install. I didn't end up having to take the brake caliper off either like most of the videos/instructions Rented a spring compressor and had both sides done in about 2.5 hours. They make no noise at all and are really high...
"Steeda clutch assist spring. Made a significant difference in shifting - why did Ford engineer this thing in the first place with that ridiculous thick spring, smaller spring and plastic spacer when all that is needed is one spring?"
Agree. Coming from an older (2000 Mustang GT) I test drove...
Zitrosounds Well at least I'm not completely crazy for wanting to make it work! Glad you were in the same boat for a while or at least considering it. If I had an awesome shop close I would much rather just drop it off and pick it up. Talking to others it's not gonna be easy. Since I don't have...
Zitrosounds Makes sense on the AdvanceTrac with different tire dimensions and setups. I actually read a good thread where some of the guys on here were mentioning that however, it was in the context of putting the 350R tire/rims on a non R model. If I remember correctly the params and...
Thanks! That was my plan, even did that with my old car at Firestone. I spoke to them yesterday and they said with the lifetime alignment they can only put the car to factory camber/toe specs. Said I would have to pay for alignment each time for the track setup. I may call another Firestone near...
Got it. So do you leave yours at -2.5 camber up front and -2 in the rear all the time? Or do you take it back to shop between events? I haven't installed the BMR bolts yet but I feel like maxing the bolts/camber will be pretty easy to figure out. With the bolts though I do agree for the stock...
Damn it! This is the exact setup I went with because I didn't want to run a spacer and extended studs up front. Landed on P51's which I do like the design but wanted more of the R look/replica for my track rims. For the track rims weight was the biggest deciding factor. I know you are just...
If you don't want to run a spacer and extended lugs up front you could go with
19x11 +24mm(offset) - Front
19x11.5 +56mm(offset) - Rear
305/35/19 square setup. Square tire setup. You would have to get the tires rotated on the rims but no spacer or extended studs up front. That's what I landed...
Just ordered a set for my 2017 GT350. Didn't see this post or might have ordered from you guys directly. Either way got a set, talked to a local shop that didn't want to mount the tires due to the machine they have. Said they would scratch them trying to mount. Told me to check with tire...
Ford and Mopar. 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with the 5.7L and the 2017 Ford GT350 :ford:

Thanks, guys! Really helps! I turned off AdvanceTrac today for the first time. Cold roads but holly smokes! 3rd at about 60 it broke loose, really loose.:D
I love the Torsen differential. I had the Torsen (T2 not T2R) in my old car and one of the things I love about it is how predictable it...
bellwilliam In your video and when you run the GT350's do you guys turn off AdvanceTrac in addition to the track mode?
Curious because I was having some fun this weekend and realized even in track mode with traction control off had some dash lights come on when having said fun. Looked in the...
My $0.02.
If you don't plan on road course events such as HPDE's it will be exactly the same as my 2017. Which has the trans and diff coolers.
Even if you want to do some autox it will be great! Heck if the temps are right you and you don't push crazy you will probably be fine for the first...
