Installed Ford Performance springs, GT350R calipers (G2 paint did not turn out), OPR caliper stud kit, and PowerStop Z26 pads. Took over a month due to part delays and the car is dirty, but I finally was able to get it out of the garage!
then how do you get them fully open? Everything I can find says to put it in track mode or toggle the exhaust open and then shut the car off. From my understanding, the valves are either open or closed. Mine are a little limp lol.
I reinstalled my GrimmSpeed exhaust valve simulators, but the flaps are not fully open. I turned the car on, put it in track mode then shut it off. Both sides were partially open, but not fully. Should they be fully open? I am thinking yes, but wanted to make sure. I sprayed some...

They took a while to get, but I love the look. Not cheap though lol
I gave myself time to do it and stopped the first attempt when I became frustrated. My biggest issue was trying to get the little screws on and off that hold the front bumper on behind the wheel well liner.
Tow hook install was more complicated with supercharger fan using the same bolts, but I figured it out. New Signature wheels as well. I have a few more projects left to do before spring. FP springs on order.
I had the option of adding MoTeC when I did the Whipple, but I wasn't sure if I needed all of that at the time plus it was a ~$15K additional cost. Maybe one day I'll add it, but I will see how this summer goes.
I will probably go with the Pilot Sport Cup 2 Rs unless I can figure out if 305/30 and 325/30 R888Rs will fit the new 20" wheels without rubbing. I only had the R888Rs (same size but 19") on the stock wheels for a few weeks before I stored the car and they hooked relatively well, but more...
Thanks for the responses. I am still new to most of this as this is my first sports car in 30 years. I didn't think about the 20" tire having less traction, but I guess there are tradeoffs with some of the aesthetic choices. I have two sets of wheels now so maybe I just add a drag pack too at...
I recently got Signature wheels (20x11 and 20x11.5), and I love them, but I am trying to find a tire to handle around 800whp. Signature suggests 295/30/20 and 315/30/20. Other than Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, anything else that I should look at that has that size? I more concerned with...
