I got around to making pad changes way more convenient. Now that I am shifting to more track time and less AutoX time, I think pad swaps specific to AutoX and track days are inevitable. As most know, the back of the front Brembo's have a bridge, meaning you have to pull the whole caliper off...

Glad your experience is better. Maybe we are not using it in the same application. It's not just me with the issue, as many other forum members have posted the same issue. It helps, but it's not the solution.

Even though I'm a proponent of sticking with the CPC, you're going to love that engine/transmission.

The AG batteries are hit or miss in these cars. Do the BMS reset, and see what happens. Clearly your car hasn't fully cycled. Someone posted one time, and I can't find it, the exact parameters to get the readiness good to go. It was an awful lot of varied driving. So if you are just pounding...

It won't. I have everything, plus spherical RCLA bearings, still doesn't help, at least not on super grippy concrete. Jus the nature of the geometry of the rear of these cars.

You need something to hold the front end down on launch...this solves two problems!

I don't think that is Corvette money, and I know they don't perform at Mustang levels LOL they do sound good with the right exhaust though!

Ahh gotcha. I replaced them with the stock motorcraft plugs (SP548). After doing more research, I will probably go the route HB did and go one level colder when I swap them next year. I still have a stock tune, so at least there is one less variable in there to play with. On second look, the...

Yep, it's my visual to shift is all. It's still revs to 8250 if I ask it to. 9k though, that's so much to ask of a sprayed on iron cylinder liner!

That makes sense, useful insight for sure. Yep, my thoughts exactly on the revs. My HUD rev gauge starts flashing at 7900, about as far as I like to take it.

Ah, not well. This was session 3. On top of that, a GT500 lost a tire in the first session on the back stretch. Short weekend for my buddy and the 500. It could have been worse I suppose.

Oh I don't disagree. I use track based results as a datapoint to understand what is going to fail. We saw a lot of problems with the VooDoo in that GT4 platform. Another variable. How much of the GT4 failures were a learning curve, vs actual problems with the platform? I don't think anyone...

Why did the GT4 car's ditch the Voodoo as soon as possible?

Just asking for it LOL

Can you get the front knuckles off the wrecked gt350? I'd throw those on too right away if you can.

Just my two cents, if you can get a gen 3 to rev like a voodoo, I'd go with the gen 3. Admittedly, I don't know the reliability of a gen 3 set up like that, but I do know the tremec is significantly better. And I do know all the vibration dampers on the voodoo add a significant bit of weight...

It's lower, like 12 mm in the rear, and about 15 mm in the front. Also a 30 profile tire. And I have 3.1 degrees camber in the front as 2.1 in the rear. It's a ET56 rim, but it's not apples to apples with yours. Let us know how it ends up.

I run 19x11.5s, with 305 falken 660s (11.4" wide). They are a track day set up, but the location of the lip on mine is very similar to yours. I think you will be happy with how it turns out. Keep inind, if the tire is massively winder than the rim, you will not be happy with the handling...

It looks fine to me. Put the tires on and compress the suspension, I'd bet it's flush with the arch. The rears will be close. I just went outside and looked at mine, and they sit almost exactly the same, and both wheels tuck into the wheel well nicely. Or didn't you want it flush?

The plugs out of spec was cylinder 8 (passenger rear). I could be wrong on that cylinder number, but it was passenger rear. It was the factory plug as best I can tell.
