Nice work Matt, keep at it!

I don't remember the dimensions off the top of my head. I "borrowed" it from my dad's RCR GT40. If I had to guess I would say its 14"x28" or 29" supposed to be good for 600hp. I'm going to have some thick mounting brackets water jetted that will bolt down to the frame rails and onto the core support. I think I'll have the shroud attach to the side mounts so there is plenty of space between the radiator and fans.

More hunting and gathering:

Wow, very nice brake set up and mustang in general. You going to run the Stoptech on all 4 corners?

Oh yeah - those can overpower some 200's easy!

LOL

What if ... *gasp* I'm not always going to be running with 200 TW tires? I discovered a whole new world last year where you weren't judged for not having back up lights your car never had new, autocrosses lasted longer than 20 seconds and lap times didn't matter. But yes, I will still be using those brakes to flat spot some 200tw tires, although I might also implement a solution for that.

Really though, I lost so much braking force due to caliper flex in the Camaro that I figured I'd just buy expensive brakes once instead of twice. Also, I've been hanging around Ron too much, and was able to justify the cool factor.

Yes, the rear is going to be a Speedway 8 on 7 hat with Wilwood rotor and Stoptech caliper.

Surprised he didn't have a set or two on the "bought it and not going to use it" shelf. He's also very hard on the wallet!!

They're going to be awesome for sure.

Funny how Sutton had me change to a harder rotor and a softer pad.... and wow did that ever make a huge difference!
