I will run 6 to 6 1/2 qts oil, but I'm worried about starving the engine, I have the stock oil pan. Do I show up to the track with a full tank of gas, better weight distribution, right? Turns 6-9 and turns 15-1 look like good spots for topping out, what sort of top speed does your SVT hit on the course?

I think I'm going. I'll let you know for sure by Friday.

Jake,

As long as there is tread they will pass the tires!

I have never ran my SVT at Thunderhill.. This will be the first time! If you do not have any open track experience you have to run the beginner group for at least the first session. I would definitely run a full tank!

If you come I would be happy to help in any way. I will be pitted with a Panoz, 05 STI and a bunch of SRT4's!! I will also be driving a 2500lb USTCC Prepped SRT4 whohoo!!! Can't wait!

Definitely going to gut my SVT to try to keep up on the straights!

1999 SVT Contour, 2004 SRT4 & Lots Others... Currently building my 1999 SVT for NASA's TT REAL racers do it twisty!!
