    How would some bolt-on doo-dad help on the street but not on track? Also, this was asked in the CORNER CARVER RACING TECH DISCUSSION sub-forum, not elsewhere. Yea that sounds like a heck of a stretch there, JC. A body shop owner does see some crashes, but he's not exactly a structural...

    Vorshlag 2015 Mustang GT Road Race Build #TRIGGER

    Well it has been a crazy Spring in 2023... we have made big strides in this project but it has not been easy. We got the car running / tuned in late June - with a completely new engine - but we have done 5 events in the last 15 days. Our first event (above) was on some 4yo 315mm R7s and it...

    Tire Selection for NASA TT

    Jason is right - we haven't even touched anything relate to aero in our latest Mustang build, this LS550. Our first event (above) was on some 4yo 315mm R7s and it was glorious. Last week I took it out with a new front end (GT500 nose & fenders from Anderson Composites) with a wider...

    I mean... its not critical. You won't feel the difference. Places like Ballast My Ride and Kenny Brown Magic Brace are always going to make as many shiny bolt-on braces as possible, because folks will ALWAYS buy shiny doo-dads thinking they will unlock some magic sauce. It won't. Stop...

    2014 GT CAMC Front A-Arms

    Aftermarket control arms tend to have a horrible track record of massive failures. Have seen dozens of racers with horror stories there, all trying to save "ones of pounds" on these heavy cars in all the wrong places. Same goes for aftermarket crossmembers, which tend to be made for drag racers...

    I see that Dan is still killing it in NASA TT3 in his region - congrats, and keep it up! https://nasaspeed.news/race-coverage/around-the-regions/may-2023-great-lakes-time-trial-action-from-mid-ohio/ I hope he is still reading this forum... Dan, you wanna update the thread with your current...

    FINAL PREP FOR DYNO TUNING By January 17th we were ready for the dyno tuning day I had scheduled at LG Motorsports. They have a 5 hour Saturday schedule and I rented their Dynojet for the day, hoping to tune both the S550's HPR built 385" LS6 and my 2000 Silverado truck's HPR built 347" LS1...

    With the Joe's boot in place we at least have a seal from the tunnel's fumes and potential fire, but it doesn't look "street car". The factory shift boot constrains the movement of this shifter so we are working on a custom boot and mounting ring that I will show in a future update. REVERSE...

    WINDSHIELD COWL COVER INSTALL One other small detail I wanted to fix was the missing cowl cover - we had one from the original salvage car, but the new placement of the Canton remote coolant reservoir and the C5 Corvette remote clutch fluid reservoir made this not fit. Brad mocked it up a...

    The ABS system had been plumbed before just by re-flaring and bending the four S550 factory brake lines and two (big bore) master cylinder feed lines. But the lengths for the two feed lines from the master to the ABS brick were a bit short and had some extreme bends to fit - making for a less...

    S197 ABS SWAP: PLUMBING, POWER, AND AIRBAG MODULE As mentioned above, the S550 Mustang ABS doesn't work "stand-alone" yet - there are necessary CAN channels from the chassis and stock ECU that are needed. Some CAN wizards we know have tried to crack this puzzle, and we have got a number of...

    CORNER BALANCE + MOTORSPORTS ALIGNMENT On January 5th, 2023 we had many of the above mentioned problems sorted - the car runs and drives, the clutch hydraulics and pedal stop were working, and we had the brakes bled. The SPL rear upper arms were added and the car now BADLY needed an alignment...

    Some of you might think - "hey, it works and its 1/3rd the cost, why not just use a Holley dash?" Well there are several down sides to their dash, namely it doesn't log (the AiM dash does). But mostly the AiM has built in lap timing and predictive lap timing that is world renowned. I'm not...

    The two Fragola -12AN oil cooler hoses pass through the cold air inlet opening, but that was the safest hose routing and won't impact performance of the engine. After these final air inlet panels were covered in DEI gold foil, the front bumper cover went back on and the ClutchMasters TOB arrived...
