[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 15694484, member: 68944"] Also, heat will be the thing you'll want to handle pretty early on. Play it by ear as everyone's driving styles vary. You may be fine with factory stuff but depending on climate, weather etc and habits, ahappy iat range to shoot for is atleast 5° below ambient and no more than 40° above ambient when rallying. Forget the days of 140-160° inlet temps as ok. Sure they may still be, but that iat in a 600whp engine probably isn't healthy but it's not overtly dangerous. In a 900+whp engine it's dumb. Precognition is 15-20° away. Engine oil cooler, trans cooler, diff cooler and a proper radiator, Lincoln mk8 fan, and water wetter mix etc will dramatically help with heat but again you may not need them if you don't get on it hard for more than a few passes a night. It's continued medium to heavy driving that will quickly overwork the stock equipment. If e85 is available, set it up and save so much hassle if you haven't already. The trans will need at the least a very capable clutch and decent flywheel, the rear needs a total build with ftbr etc or a well executed sra swap for 1.35 60's. Brakes wheels tires bla bla blah plan on going half broke to have it run right but it'll be pretty damn fun. [/QUOTE]
