Beware of some track insurances. They cap the payout which might not be enough to replace or repair a GT.
Stock brake system with good pads, and fluid, are fine with hoosiers. You do not need cooling ducts.
Stock clutch is fine. Kendall was reminding you to flush the clutch fluid when doing the brakes.
As for the Simpson head restraint, who cares whats required, I was suggesting it for your safety. A Hans, can not be used with OEM 3 point seat belts, the simpson can.
Last time I tracked the 05 was at the rally at miller giving rides. I used 4 tanks of fuel, and the Hoosiers and brakes were just fine for the day.

The Torrie tune (vendor on this site and Florida based) can adjust fan parameters. Never had any issue with this tune in the Florida heat. BTW, In addition to the Torrie tune I am running accufab exhaust,throttle body, coolteck trans cooler and modified pulley. Good bolt-on combos.

Turning on the AC and Tunes will only bring on the fans earlier at something like 180. Fans by default, with factory Ford tune, will be full blast at something like 200. There is no tweaks to enhance this further
This is the only one that is 3 point approved.

How about multi point harnesses being fitted... are there any good/easy options?
My 2000 M5 had a set up that was an easy bolt on using the rear and front seat anchor points.... easy in and out when not used

Id be surprised if it was a liter, but no harm having too much.

I did 2" "Hans style" belts, and per the recommendation of HMS motorsports / Scroth distributor, only 4 point. No sub belt, the thoughts were, that assuming your not willing to go through the seat, for proper installation (duh, no), then it does no good so skip it. There was also another negative reason, that I can not remember (probably been a decade).
If these are still available:
Belt Mounting Clips for 6 point harness

Its a toss up... The Simpson is about 1k and no fitting harnesses to car ...easyest option but only for one person..
Keeping both seats safe from what the FordParts team offers with the fire wall anchors and harness runs about $850+
Might do the harness set up as for better safety (especially if I have a passenger) and I dont have to buy another head restraint device (will use my HANS)
Hopefully ordering the Ahlman Performance V2 set up today......
Having an issue with check out ("Please complete this section") but it won't take my selected state of Florida.....so sent them an email.

Great call, Scotts awesome, and has forgotten more that I will ever know about suspensions. You will greatly enjoy them especially on the street. Track is an added bonus.
