[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 6176943, member: 11681"] [SIZE="3"][COLOR="Red"]For sure do the brake duct kits first. [/COLOR][/SIZE]This will allow you to use a street/track pad and they will last longer too. Less chance of boiling your (no more than 6 days old) FRESH brake fluid. These are heavy cars, as you know. I ran for 2 years(1 event per year) just like that... though I did put FLSFCs in early on, they are certainly not required. Read the open track primer in the open track forum. It is a great read. I've read it several times and still go back from time to time. Running a pulley car is going to be an adventure in heat management. If you have a flash tuner with user adjustments, I would add some fuel(11.2 a/f), and pull some timing out(less advance). This will help keep the heat down a little. Shifting early at about 4 to 4500 will still get you around the track quickly but won't get you hot as fast as ripping it right up to 6 or beyond. Buy a set of pads and carefully bed them in before your normal street pads are gone. NEVER throw out your used pads! They may get you though a track event or home some day. Don't go mod happy until you have done at least 2 weekends with this car. There are some issues these cars have that you may want to target your money to. One would be a REAL TEMP GAUGE! Another would be caster camber plates. Later we can talk about cooling mods and such. With these few tips you should be set to have a blast. Learn how to monitor engine coolant temps via the cluster odometer test read out (in Celsius) so you can back off when you need to [/QUOTE]
