Speedboosted
Found missing cylinders
I'm going to the Northwest Street Car Challenge in Spokane, WA with my dad at the end of May and the event will be a little different this year. Friday & Saturday is dig and roll racing in which we will be racing the Shelby, but Sunday is the day to run the track itself and I really would like to take my 6 cylinder out there finally. I may eventually end up doing one more NASA HPDE event at PIR but we'll see the condition of the car after Spokane. It will most likely be THE slowest car there straight line speed wise but I feel with some help it could hopefully hold its own on the track, probably not though. With that said, here is what is done right now to it suspension/brake wise. Car is a 2006 4.sl0w and has intake and tune engine wise
-H&R Race Springs
-Steeda Pro-Action Struts
-KYB Gas-a-just Shocks
-GT500 Strut Mounts
-Eibach Camber Bolts
-GT500 Strut Brace
-BMR Ajustable PHB
-J&M Extreme LCA's (poly bushing)
-Takeoff GT front (34mm w/ poly bushings) and rear (20mm) sway bars
-GT front brakes with EBC red stuff pads and standard pads in rear (brakes were just done in the summer so a lot of life left)
Now I'm on takeoff 2011 5.0 base wheels with those 235 pirellis, however I plan on using the Shelby's regular tires (255/285 in 19s) since the drag wheels will be on it.
I also will put in DOT 4 brake fluid and am in the process of designing my own brake duct cooling kit since I don't really see any advertised for the V6, and I love doing that kind of stuff anyways.
I am not sure how my pads will hold up, and I don't want to ruin my new-ish rotors so I may swap the slightly smaller v6 rotors back on (they are still in very good condition).
I should note that this is the basic model that DOES NOT come with ABS (wtf?)
Anything else I should look into or plan differently? 5 speed manual too if it matters
Thanks guys, just joined and loving this forum already. Especially this section!
