Testing our 2024 HPDE Mustang at Daytona! New Achievement Unlocked (Over 176 MPH!)

[tj@steeda]

While we find ourselves at Sebring and Homestead quite often, Daytona offers some unique challenges for the Mustang. Specifically, the saddle tanks experience fuel starvation issues at about half a tank. This is due to the extreme banking and high-speed turns that force the fuel to the opposite side of the stock pump. KPM sent us a new unit to test and see if it solves the problem. Find out if it works in this video and how the "White Stallion" performed at Daytona!

So I saw that the tank shortcomings were apparent at Daytona... did you notice issues at any other tracks?

Yes, we noticed the issue with both S550 and S650 on every track we have been in both Florida and Georgia. At Daytona, the problem is a lot more apparent and worse, that's why we chose to test at that track.

Great video. Thank you. On a completely different subject, what kind of hood is on the car?

 

[JohnM@Steeda]

That is a GTD style hood from Anderson Composites. Top notch product!
