Default Flush your brake fluid

sspano01 I see you are biten and sick as hell. Some of us recover, others get sicker, and some relax and go with the flow"easy in and easy out" Any way If we are going to get crazzzy on this, check and change the brake fluid. 3 is good, 4 is better for more heat in the system.
New list of things to do
Add more ducting to brakes front and rear.
Add 3 4" in fans to help remove hot air from motor area and one to send cooler air down trans tunnel to cool rearend and trans.
You already have found out about tracking the car and the oil pressure issues with not running a dry sump setup. Dont wait too long on this. 5,000 rpms and low to no oil for 1/2 a second is major damage. I you said it a forgot, is this a crate motor from FORD? Either way limit the motor to 6,000 rpms and shift a little more. A am sure you are out of the HP range about this time. Max you ever want to go is 500 rpms pass max HP. You are just wasteing motor after that rpm limit.
Have fun with new tires, Get the road race seat. This makes a ton of different with driving and not having to hold your weight in location. Make sure it is bolted to the floor and use large fender washers on both sides for handling the weight of you and your seat in high "G" turns. Good luck. See the doctor but a think you are gone too far to be saved. Small side note I learned over the years, It's not the right way to drive through turns that pull "g's" but back off the throttle a little and let the speed carry you through. I think this helps with keeping oil going to the right placed and having the oil pan refill quicker. Rick
