I swapped to Castro SRF in mine after doing quite a bit of research. It doesn’t absorb moisture as readily as the 660, has a much higher wet boiling point, and has a lower viscosity at cold temperatures. It doesn’t requires as frequent of flushes when tracking. That said it’s about twice the price of the 660.on changing out brake fluid, Motul or StopTech 660?
Have you been on GMan before? Ran it 5 times from 2010-2014, not one of my favs, designed more for smaller cars IMO.
Why, yes it does. I love the remote sensing. Its like a dog that stands by the door thinking they are going out to play if you just walk by the door.
Each year, before racing season, I'd research all the different brake fluids and switch if necessary. Ran Motul for many years and then went to StopTech. I compare Wet/Dry Boil as well as price and lastly, is the fluid doing what I need it to. I found myself flushing after every race weekend, so I always had a good stock on hand. Doesn't take much to weaken the fluid.
). Next up is installing a Roush H Pipe debating on doing it myself(ramps and jack stands) or paying a shop with a lift do it if the price is good.
Interested to see how the H pipe works out. I've been debating Kooks Headers and an H pipe but I think that might just be silly loud on a Dark Horse so may just go with the H pipe. Won't give me any HP but will adjust the sound a bit louder and deeper.
What is the product and cost of the light? Let us know! Thanks!I replaced the stock trunk light with the Ford LED strip light. Now the entire trunk is lit up.
Probably 15 grand is my estimate!
I bought it from Ford accessories. Used some of my Ford Pass points. Looks like it is now $99:
Gee! Thanks for the info and didn’t know that was in the Ford website and thought it was some suppliers on the other website of some kind! I’ll check into it soon!
Thanks for the info. I’m new to taking my car to the track so I appreciate input from those with much more experience. I realize there is no downside to flushing after every race weekend other than the cost of the fluid, but Castrol states SRF, which is specifically intended for use in racing, should be changed every 18 months. From my research I had pretty much come to the conclusion that bleeding after each weekend and a complete flush once a year would be adequate. Do you think it is really necessary to flush after each weekend?Each year, before racing season, I'd research all the different brake fluids and switch if necessary.

If you race the car as hard as I did mine, yes. I'd race 3 days a month, lots of hard braking. Brake discs would get very hot, 1200*F+, so the fluid in the calipers was well used. I probably could get by doing less often, but I preferred not to, liked going into new race weekends with "fresh" stuff as having good responsive brakes was vitally important. At a minimum, I would bleed the brakes after each day of racing, more often if braking didn't feel right.
