For track use I have seen others use Hoosiers as the preferred tire. The preferred tires for all around use are the following:
Bridgestone
P265/40ZR18
RE050A 101Y
N1(porsche)XL
P345/35R19
RE050A 101Y
Scuderia
Congratulations, your patience paid off and look what you got in the end. A Heritage model NGT with all the upgrades including that nice 1/2" black stripe between colors.
Agree that battery needs to be tested. Assuming you are using Optima. Still a good battery but not what they used to be in quality and endurance. When I replaced my old Optima with new, old was much heavier than new battery.
