So after three weeks of ownership, I had chance for open track day at TWS (Texas Work Speedway). Only a few chances left at TWS before the close the long track and only offer the short track - and then close[emoji23]. Anyway, on my way to the track at 5:30 AM, I hear this terrible flapping...

I did a search but did not find anything on this - yesterday, after a nice morning drive in my 2017 350, the AC unit quits blowing cold air. Worked in the AM and quits in the afternoon - just like that. I am waiting on word from dealer to take it there but wanted to check in here to see...

So,I just closed deal on a 2017 3k miles. Very excited may have to sell my GT 500 to placate the wifey. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I've had a triple pump, return style fuel system in the car for about a year. I had some recent issues with pressure and pumps supposedly fixed over the last couple of weeks. Took car out this weekend and after a couple of hours cruising around in 90F weather, I pulled into my garage and...

while on the track yesterday (road course), i was throwing flames out the exhaust. Exhaust tips turned a rusty brown (with a fine rust powder). So I guess I am running too rich but what do I need to adjust? Do I just go back to tuner and tell them what is happening and to 'fix it' or is this...

So, I am in the intermediate group one of the DE groups and drove with an instructor on the third session of the day. instructor was a race prepped corvette driver. During the 20 minute session, only comment was the smell of gasoline. I've had the light smell ever since my motor was rebuilt 1...

The OE tires on my O8 are 27" tall (OE 18 x 9.5" wheel). I've been searching for a combination street/road course setup and want to go with a staight setup. I've been looking at 275/35/18, 275/40/18 and 285/35/18. Most of the tires I've considered are only 26". Would a 26" tire be too small...

I've been running my 255/45/18 Goodyear F1 KRs for the last year on the track (on 18 x9.5 wheels). I run 'em on all fours. I've worn them out and need new (and better) tires. I am looking at some 275/35/18 or 275/40/18 tires. I want a 'Y" rated tire. These two have the same section and...

Looking at a new set of road track tires. I use my OE wheels as my track wheels (18 x 9.5) and run a staight setup. I don't use these for DD but will drive to track (and hopefully back!). I finally wore out my GY F1 KRs this last weekend and am considering the Nitto NT05 in 275/40/18 - trying...

So I finally burned up my tires this past weekend at MSR and need a new set. Looking to buy a set of decent road coarse tires in 275/40/18 or similar that will fit my 18 x 9.5 wheels. Am in Housotn but willing to travel for pickup. Thanks, Bill

I posted here last summer about my oerheating on the track (road) and oil bypass through SC. I originally brought to shop because I had what I thought was oil leaking into intercooler - also thought this was the cause of overheating and high IAT2. I found out that I had a couple of bad...

My car was on the dyno getting an initial tune after an engine build. Previous RWHP was 685 and car will do much more now, altough I am starting with a conservative 655. Tuner and Mechanic think I should drop my 3:73's to a lower gear (probably 3:31). Car's had the 3:73's in the rear since...

Stopped by the garage today to check on the status of the re-install of my new built engine. Owner wasn't there but I was talking to the mechanic who told me that they were going to remove my EGR because the new fuel rails were "in the way". They were simply going to plug things off. I'll...

I have a set of SVT wheels I purchased from a forum member a while back. I bought the Alcoa KR's and need to sell theses. Also have the GY F1 rear tires mounted. $500 for all. One wheel has a minor curb rash (photo). Prefer local sale (Houston) as I don't have boxes for shipping. Not sure...

I've been trying to search for some answers to my 'ticking' issue. Ever since I swapped SC and had some exhaust work done, I started noticing a slight ticking sound. It seems to come from under the driver's side wheel. The tick is sinc'ed to the rolling speed; i.,e. increases in frequency as I...

My car is in the shop to take off the HF cats. I added the HF cats a couple of years ago after I had off road pipes installed. Car was just too freaking loud, so I added the cats. Now I am removing the cats because I am doing more road tracking and am concerned these are adding to my...

It was FREAKING hot this weekend in Houston and my car did not hold up to it at MSR. Car over heated if I pushed the RPMs high enough to get a decent lap time - the only way I could keep the engine coolant at "normal" was to ease off the pedal. I have a stock radiator in my '08 Shelby GT500...

I really like what the 13+ models did with the the CAI by routing a cooling tube to the front grill (er, front space). Has anybody tired to modify the earlier aftermarket CAI intakes to bring in fresh air? I want to give it a try but don't have the design skills I've seen by others in this forum.

So I posted earlier about fans on HE not coming on and serious heat soak at open track. Pump worked only intermittent. I just installed an Aeroforce Interceptor to get data on IAT. After 15 minutes of easy city drive, IAT was reading 230F. Checked pump and it was not running. In fact, I...

I did not know it until a KR owner pointed it out to me that my Goodyear F1s are the KR version. I did not know what that even meant until I looked at my spare set at home, which apparently are 'regular' F1s. From what I can tell, the KR version has a UTQG treadwear of 180, whereas the standard...

I started this in thread on the braking issues with the Boss 302 but thought I'd start another thread for a specific issue - and that is this...How do you select pads for the track and maintain proper torque ratio between front and back....And....how important is it to maintain the factory bias...

Had some trouble with my brake set up at the track this weekend (open road track). Just prior to event I swapped front rotors or slotted ones, replaced (F) Brembos with Hawk DTC-30s. that is my normal routine. This time I also replaced rear with Hawk DT-10s and replaced rear calipers since I had...

so I am crawling under the dash in my back with a flashlight trying to find an exit point for an Aeroforce Interceptor and can't find a place to pull the cable to hook up to the OBD. Granted, I can't stay in that position too long. Is there an easy exit point or will I be drillling a hole in...
