Looking good man! And welcome to the 6g forums :cheers:

I got a little bit of a head start but I'm sure you've got some plans in the works haha. Looking forward to seeing the progression of your build :ford:

Nice car!

Couple of questions:

1. Is there an advantage to using the Mishimoto coolant vs the stock one (aside esthetics)?
2. What rims are those green ones on the white GT350?
3. What trunk wing do you have? Is that an add-on?

Thx

1. I believe it holds more fluid, so it can disperse heat better.

3. That is a ZL1addons piece that bolt to the existing track pack spoiler to add additional downforce

Are we 100% positive on both things? Is more fluid in the reservoir = better cooling?

What about the bolt on spoiler? How much downforce does it produce and at what speeds? Do we know any facts about those?

OP does the added spoiler produce wind noise at speeds?

Are either of you considering the BMR "cradle lock-out" to help with wheel hop?Also the 4 pt. front sub-frame brace.

More liquid media should help, but by what, I don't know. The real heat issues that a GT350 has is engine and trans oil, but dedicated coolers effectively fix that issue.

Last I read on the spoiler, ZL1 Addons claims added downforce on the similar design Camaro version, but hasn't made a claim to the mustang version.
