- JAJ replied to the thread Cup2R Tires Road Atlanta - Managing Pressure at HPDE Track Event.Get yourself a Motorcraft TPMS Reset Tool TPMS19. It allows you to retrain the BCM to recognize the (OEM) TPMS's you just installed on the car when you changed wheels. You start the relearn with a series of taps on the brakes and the start...

- JAJ replied to the thread Thoughts on how my Pagid 29’s are wearing.What I'm seeing is pads that have been run very hot. RSL29's are exceptional race pads so they can take it, but their condition is a result of going in deep and getting hard on the brakes late. Braking that way generates a huge amount of heat...

- JAJ replied to the thread Tornado hits Willy Da P's house , but there is even worse news.............If you want to celebrate a "my car survived a tornado too" moment, try this:I'm' really glad to hear nothing bad happened to you and your family. There are so many more "unnatural disaster" problems these days - big wildfires, hurricanes... (see full post)

- JAJ replied to the thread S550 Honey Badger GT350 Build.That's great, but with all the cutting and chopping you've done to the chassis since the picture was taken, are there possibly new pathways for water to get in? If you have room to mount the electronics 2" off the floor, it might be worth it. (see full post)
- JAJ replied to the thread S550 Honey Badger GT350 Build.With the electronics on the floor, could rain become a problem? (see full post)
- JAJ replied to the thread S550 OTS Tune with ZERO rev hang?.If you find one, it'll be interesting to hear how it works. For the non-turbo engines, the hang is there to keep the cats hot. On the Ecoboost, presumably it's there to keep the turbo from spinning down too far (lag prevention). Maybe it's... (see full post)
- JAJ replied to the thread Ford Performance Rear Hub w/ ARP Studs Issue?.I have the set on the car and a spare set and there's no human-detectable play in any of the four. If the bearing separates under a high lateral g load, the only thing that can keep the wheel on is the brake caliper. (see full post)
- JAJ replied to the thread Ford Performance Rear Hub w/ ARP Studs Issue?.Depending on your schedule, contact FP again and show them pictures of the play. They may have a defective batch.I had this problem once on a set of replacement OEM rear hubs (with longer studs installed) on my GT350 and it was caused by the... (see full post)
- JAJ replied to the thread More awesome news out of DC.I've been watching this thread with interest. A few points from my decades of watching regulatory overreach develop and grow to fruition:1. That there's a car industry at all is an urban myth. It was completely destroyed back in the 1970's... (see full post)
- JAJ replied to the thread coolers for road racing?.The 10 vs 12 issue goes back a long way, it might have been for the Boss 302 race cars running Coyote's. There was a post about engine problems by Kohr (or whatever the name was before it was changed to Kohr) and from that point on, -12AN has... (see full post)
- JAJ replied to the thread AP racing front brake kit for 2020 GT500.It depends on your needs.Ford, bless their hearts, made doing what you want to do really easy. The front knuckle on the 2020 GT350R (NOT the 2020 GT350) is exactly the same as the GT500 front knuckle, except it's been machined for the GT350... (see full post)
- JAJ replied to the thread IMSA penalties explained..This did create a real dilemma for IMSA and I think their decisions were about money. The teams running the unfair cars likely knew nothing of the unfair advantage - they "runned what they brung" and won the race. While it's great for the team... (see full post)
- JAJ replied to the thread Diff cooling and E85 results - interesting findings at Road Atlanta - fast lap.Exactly. The OP says he has a diff cooler so the spec lube that Ford puts in the high horsepower, high torque, cooler-equipped GT500 should work fine. (see full post)
- JAJ replied to the thread Tire size for handling package.I went looking for a Trofeo RS review and didn't see any. Can you point me at one? I ran Trofeo R's in the past, I really liked them and they're what I'm switching back to when my current set of MPSC2's wears out. I saw the RS, but they're an... (see full post)
- JAJ replied to the thread Diff cooling and E85 results - interesting findings at Road Atlanta - fast lap.You might want to switch back to the diff oil the car came with. Ford runs 75w-85 diff oil in the FP Shelby's because it generates less heat under high load than heavier oils and it lubricates at least as well or better. It's a modern... (see full post)
