I know this is old thread, but want to comment on fuel heating.
If your 3 pumps in the surge tank are running at full speed all the time then you are definitely heating your fuel. And your setup is best for drag racing and not good for daily or road course.
Better way is one pump runs off the...
Yeah definitely one of the most successful first time out tests ever, well done. Did you mention it was 96F and COTA is notoriously tough on cars. 👍🏼
And there’s me driving home. 🙂
I haul my 3,700lbs Mustang with a 3.5 ecoboost F150 and have had zero issues. It pulls along at 85mph no problem. I don’t carry anything extra on the trailer, everything is in the back of my F150. I’m sure you could add a tire rack to the trailer without any issues.
My only suggestions are get...
I think the holdup is figuring out how to control the gearbox. I’m not aware of any aftermarket controllers that would work with the stock ecu. You could probably go custom Motec but now $$$$ cost is getting serious 🤣😂

The AC heat exchanger that sits in front of the radiator should be closely inspected as a culprit causing cooling issues.
A fellow mustang owner with a higher mileage car was having issues with cooling until he noticed that the AC heat exchanger was in poor shape and preventing good airflow...
I’ve also been tracking with a Mishimoto with no issues. My car is turbo at 7psi for track.
One thing you will need to do is box in all 4 sides of the radiator otherwise air flow will bypass and you won’t get the cooling result you are expecting.
