First real track day on my 2016 Whippled GT. I recently added a Mishimoto radiator and Reische 170 Thermostat.... I have the upgraded intercooler and dual fans from Whipple on the stage 2 kit, approx 680rwhp @ 9psi. Never saw CHT's above 215... air temp was in the 70's, very high speed track...

FWIW .... 2016, 105,000 miles, Whipple supercharged... has "ticked" since 5,000 miles or so... always when cold, and occasionally when warm. Hear it the most when cold, mild throttle and a freeway wall along side, or something to reflect the sound back into the car. I drive the wheels off the...

BG, cool thanks... Yes, that's the plan... we're both operating as one driver, one car... ~ 7 20m sessions between us, both running in the same group.

Also.. whats the consensus on fluids..? In the engine I've run Royal Purple Full Syth since I bought the car. Ford/Motorcraft orange coolant with RedLine Water Wetter, same in the SC intercooler. I have Motul 660 for the brakes to flush when I install the SS lines and brake cooling ducts...

Thanks all for the hints, pointers, warnings and experience... no pride to tarnish here, all feedback welcome, thank you! A few cooling mods are on the way, and we'll see where that gets me. (thanks @ddozier for the details - a few DEI goodies, a Mishi Rad and 170 thermostat are inbound)...

yessir.... some upgrades were already being considered, some may come with time based on feedback at the track and interest to keep doing it. All my prior events have been short courses, so quite a change to start a big track at Willow. We'll see you there.

Dave, Thanks for the insight and specific suggestions... :handsinair: This set of tires will have to do this time around, and agreed, I've had understeer with similar NT05 stagger setup on AutoX courses. I need to look at a dedicated track set of wheels and square setup; today, both sets of...

Thanks... yes, I forgot to mention I have the MGW RaceSpec :thumbsup:

Understood and thanks for that... I am just as interested (more so actually) in reliability and safety as any additional "performance" mods specifically. I certainly know the car at this point is much more capable than the driver. What I didn't want is day being cut short by over-temps, or any...

Looking for some guidance on track improvements (safety/reliability/performance, in that order) for my daily driven 2016 Whippled GT. I take Angeles Crest to work almost daily, so any mods below would be valuable off the track as well. I daily the car about 120 miles round trip and have 105k...

My two cents... On the first box, is that a typo..? [Diesel, Patrol, Turbo...] Should that be Petrol, or more typically, Fuel Type? Odd to see this "leaked" out... I'm skeptical too. :inspect:

So is it the 27th yet..??

Please add Tracy and I for dinner #1 and #2 (Fri/Sat)

Unable to make Track Day... All, life happens and as it turns out we're moving in the next 2 weeks, so packing and other priorities have to take priority. :shrug: I'll live vicariously through each of you. Be safe... ENJOY! “On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a...
