Solly,
We have tried several combos of sway bars-didn't seem to help.I have had a BIG red light installed on my dash which will illuminate should the
oil pressure reach a certain level.Just a little insurance in case the Accusump fails or some other problem arises.
One problem I had some time ago.While I was running at G&W's Fall Fling at VIR last year,several corner workers noticed I was dumping something out of the rear of my car when I was going through corners.There was a black "sludgey" coating under the rear where the exhaust pipes exit.Turned out that my fuel was sloshing out the rear.We replaced the stck exhaust gas cap with a ventilated one and that cured the problem.
I'm sure you know that the Roush engines in the Coupe do not have a rev limiter,which I found to be incredible.I have set mine to 6200 rpm.
The oversteering seems to just happen.I am running Pirelli P Zero tires as I also drive the car a lot on the street-9000 plus miles.No "tire warning." I have,however,noticed that there is a light "twitch" from the rear before it cuts loose-feel this through the seat.The car WILL rotate,which is helpful.
I have not tried any adjustments to the caster or camber settings,which should help your car.
I installed a Steeda close ratio shifter which shortened the throws and helped what I thought was a problem going from 3rd to 4th and not pulling it into 2nd.Probaly more my tecnique than anything else.
The "new" engine will be a 427 with the Dart block.I am told that the Nascar guys at Roush changed just about everything in the internals with the exception of the Holly 750 carb.It will not be quite as streetable as before but will be more reliable on the track.I don't have any dyno numbers yet,but Dennis said it will be a stronger engine.The "old" engine dynoed at 423 hp at the rear wheels.
I enjoyed your comment on the Challenge car.We have a Ferrari Club Track Weekend coming up in several days at Summit on the new circuit,and I will take our new 360 Spider up for some fun.I have not tracked this yet,and it will be interesting to see how it does on this track.We ran the new track on this year's One Lap of America in my son's C6 'Vette,and it is a difficult one.Not a track suited to high horse power cars,limited run off areas,lots of walls,off camber corners etc.Did you run in the Ferrari Challenge series?
I would appreciate any thoughts you have on the 427.Thanks.
