M1-Fan Here are the parts and tools I used so that I could run 19X11's with 52MM offset front and back: Mach Style Wheels: https://www.wheelreplicas.com/15-22-Mustang-c71586005 Studs: https://lmr.com/item/M1107C/15-17-mustang-ford-performance-wheel-stud-kit-m-1107-c Stud Installer...

How much a tire looks stretched on a wheel varies from tire brand to tire brand. The dimension to pay attention to is Section Width because this defines the width of the widest part of the tire. It is not uncommon for one brand to have a wider section width than another for the same size tire...

I don't think what you are proposing can be accomplished with the wet sump oiling system like the one used in an S550. Its a closed system designed to maintain a specific oil volume and pressure to the engine bearings after the oil has been cooled and filtered. So I really can't think of a...

Aeroquip has been marketing these for a long time for racing purposes. I have seen guys try them and then go back to air to oil coolers on there race cars. Admittedly my experience is mostly with rotary powered road race cars, but nothing stresses a cooling system more than a rotary. If...

I have a 2017 Mustang GT with Steeda Comp springs, 19X11 wheels front and back with Bridgstone 285/35x19 tires. No tire interference issues on the front or the back and I autox the car. The wheels have 52mm offset so I run 25mm spacers on front. Before I went this route I considered the Mach...

The Red Top gel cell battery you are using also does not require a box. From the rules: 3.3.3.B.18. All batteries (on-board power supplies) shall be attached securely to the frame or chassis structure, independent of any container or cover that may be present. Any wet-cell battery moved from...

For that kind of battery you don't need a box. I have an tiny AGM battery in rear foot well of my SCCA STU race car with no box only terminal boots. The problem with the typical plastic marine battery box is that they make installing a proper mount more difficult. I have used them in...

The value of the test was to determine the temperature drop on the back side of the material that is exposed to the heat source. Such as the passenger side of the firewall or floor. They even said as much at the beginning of the episode. For the header wrap portion of the test, they were...

I insulate the rear axle and brake lines on my RX7 that are near the exhaust. The rest of the housing isn't insulated. The idea is to shield it near the heat source.

If you have a subscription to Motortrend+ you might want to check out this episode of Engine Masters: https://www.motortrend.com/plus/deta.../5209849/30774 To summarize they tested various heat barrier materials on a piece of 22 gauge sheet metal place next to a header that was producing 960F...

Beware of where you get "OEM" Sensors. I got a set of Motorcraft branded sensors off of eBay for my newer autox wheels. They have to be paired whenever I put them on the car after an extended period of time. They stay paired as long as I keep the wheels on the car and I drive it every so...

I have bolt on spacers on my road race RX7. They are a necessary evil because I needed to convert from the 4x114.3 pattern to 4x100 pattern on the front of the car. 4x100 wheels are cheaper and lighter than 4x114.3 wheels. Any way, I looked around at what was available commercially and...

As other have mentioned you need to move the wheels out 25MM to clear the strut on the front of your car. If you do slip on spacers, you will need the spacers, longer studs and open end lug nuts. Here is what I bought for my car to do the same thing: Spacers...

Yep sure do! Just dawned on me who you are!

Yep this is spendy right now. A few years ago getting a used PP rear end and changing the ring and pinion to a 3.31 was affordable. Not now. I have run some local events where 3rd gear was needed. I found that a short shift to 3rd worked pretty good because these engines have good torque...

Congrats on being the Fast Ford Nightmare! Its too bad there isn't a way to get a good faith post event ruling regarding things like this. A ruling that doesn't change the results but gives everyone rules clarity. In situations like this, It is likely that you are right and his car isn't...

Congrats KZ! Thanks for posting up the info about the Cam Challenge earlier. Between driving in the event, working the course watching Al Unser Jr. drive in CAMT and dinner at the Museum of Speed, it was the highlight of my week in Lincoln. This was my 16th Nationals and my worst driving...

I would agree would this approach. There are variables in the way wheels are constructed and the struts on your car that may impact your application. So test fit, measure and then order spacers. I would also recommend that you get hub-centric spacers. I found the ones I use on eBay. My...

I think you will need a 2-3MM spacer because the issue is clearance between the strut and the wheel. Below is my car with 18x10 wheels with 42mm offset, Steeda Comp springs and the same size tire. To get them to fit I had to use a 5mm spacer for a net of a 37mm offset. It gave me about 2mm...

Hoping to be in Lincoln Friday night. I am paddocked all the way at the back with a couple of Corvair drivers.
