If you wanna play with stuff, I made a Google Sheet which autocalcs most everything as long as you change the green boxes to match your needs/setup. -- -- (not sure why this forum wants to always iFrame it, but feel free to right click/save and open in Excel or upload to your own Google...

is that the rear left on the rear right? did you make negative horsepower?

I can say that a standard BC worked in a pinch, as a 5# bottle is all of what, $30? I didn't have any issues with corrosion, but that's only because the fire melted most of my engine harnesses, and I had to replace half of the electronics but all the others didn't have any issues with...

I mean, it is what it is, a message board. Times change, people change... back in the days of SoCalStangs, we'd have 150+ cars cruise up from SD to Knott's for the Fun Ford Weekend, and from people's lack of interest, they've moved it to what felt like a few rows at Irwindale. We also had...

Well glad to see that you've came around to it, as we've lost so, so many to it that we'll never be able to turn back. I've got a plate and spare set of harnesses when I get mine race-worthy and will show you what a proper set of coilovers do, an absolute night and day difference ... to your...

Well, you can't really teach a moderately old dog new tricks. I'm not the only one to do it, and if you spend enough time at the track, you'll find out that others do it in a pinch when plans don't go to plan. I will have to figure out some ways to lighten it though, as a full 4x8 sheet of 1/2...

Funny how I always seem to build cars during economic downturns and further put myself deeper in a financial hole. Oh well, not like you can take it with you. Cage is in, car is beefed up with some heavy duty gusseting. Just finished my NASA Rule Book degree to what I can and can't remove...

Definitely have the rear shocks and springs right there, lemme run to storage tonight to see what I did with the front struts, they might have been sold. Not a tricky install by any means, could even do it here this weekend if you're bored, peeps can come by and eat pizza and crap.

Ah that's shitty luck, and unfortunately the precise reason that some of us steer clear of bags on the track, because ugh, just imagine what it'd do at speed 😬 Obviously not what you want to hear, but I've got a perfectly good set of the FRPP track pack struts with your name on it, and the...

<Nerd> Tunes are no different to configuration files. Microsoft (and actually Sybase and heck, Ashton-Tate) wrote the Database engine many years ago, along with the trace flags, and startup parameters that allow me to suggest values to tweak it just perfectly. I don't change the Microsoft SQL...

Problem with the aftermarket ECUs is generally most of them are one or the other regarding our Port Injection AND Direct Injection, most force us 18+ to choose, a problem that the Gen1 and Gen2 don't have, and the Voodoo is essentially a Gen2 as well. A popular combo is the Gen3 block, Gen2...

That's great news. Because the only thing worse than having problems at the track is the long ass ride home, even worse if it's on an expensive flatbed for several hours. I don't have any personal experience with Air Ride, but I'd think its creature comforts are nice on the road, okay for an...

Interesting to hear about the differences between the Boss and 18, can't wait to check it out in person one of these days when you bring it to a track :D

Considering that according to them, Adriana's Insurance Services only writes Insurance in California, Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Utah and Illinois ... and actually, they're just a broker hooking you up with other cheap insurance companies like Access. Just call around anyhow, I do it every time I...

Great to know. Never auto-x'd, so didn't know how much time you get for gridding sessions or areas to play with or fart around in to warm them up. Our track days usually start around 45-50f and if all too common to see somebody who knows what they're doing on 3R's either driving like a grandma...

So yeah, literally anything other than a Cup2, and this coming from somebody who used to run them before the GT500 had their own spec, and had to bounce around between all the 305/30/20's made for/to Audi (A0), BMW (*), Ferrari (K1), Jaguar, Porsche (N1), and Mercedes (M0) specs. Definitely...

... but why? The technology is there for flex vehicles, but yet, the Mustang isn't one, at least from the factory. The gas stoich is 14.7:1, and the e85 is 9.85:1, and having it at some random point in-between those two with the stock computer's logic won't really do you much good. That story...

You could give our friend Christian a holla at Ford of Upland. He's usually in one of his Mustangs at the Mustang Driver Club meets, and is just down the street from you.

It's a shame what's happened to Fab Fords, used to be a huge show, and now it's just maybe 20 rows at Irwindale, and feels pretty half assed to the point where maybe they should just consider stopping it altogether.

Must have misread the first one, that's goofy as all hell. Hopefully they don't do something like completely pull the PCM, which I've read some horror stories about, and generally speaking, depending on whether your tuner is married/locked to it, it may have you begging your tuner for another...
