  1. 265/285 width tires on stock PP wheels?

    (1) Google (2) Chat GTP (3) Forum discussion. Not one of those is a reliable source, and they all feed off of each other. Dig deeper. I often find the first returns from Google are wrong, as Google searches are now AI driven. AI literally scours the internet and "creates" returns based on...
  2. 265/285 width tires on stock PP wheels?

    I honestly have no clue why the two of you posted this, or why you think this confusion for all seasons is the case. I posted the quote, in boldface type, but, more importantly, I provided a link in my post. Click it, and you will see that it is not an all season tire. wesg79 can even compare...
  3. Its here! New Dark Horse

    Beautiful color aftermarket wheels look good, too, with a good color, at least in the shade
  4. 265/285 width tires on stock PP wheels?

    Would you please share with us where you discovered this information in your post, which directly contradicts what I posted immediately above?
  5. 265/285 width tires on stock PP wheels?

    That's negative seven Celsius, -7°, not 7. Big difference. Note: Tires exposed to temperatures of 20 degrees F (-7 degrees C) or lower must be permitted to gradually return to temperatures of at least 40 degrees F (5 degrees C) for at least 24 hours before they are flexed in any manner, such...
  6. 265/285 width tires on stock PP wheels?

    PS4S are great tires and grippy for a regular road type tire, and they will perform well in the winter if you do not live somewhere very cold (ugh, scratch that, I just saw you live in New York - you probably need a winter tire!) If you really want best grip, though, Michelin Cup 2 are a...
  7. new Dark Horse coming!

    Oh, so you went with the stock size handling package wheels (DHP 1?) and Michelin PS4s. By stock size, I assume you mean 305/315, which are actually larger than the Trofeo RS by quite a bit. Would you please let me know all of your subjective/objective assessment of the new tires? I am about...
  8. Thoughts on Warm up Times?

    They have full on electronic ignitions now that use a distributor that communicates with a computer (ECU) where the camshaft and crankshaft are, but you control and program the advance curve on a computer screen, sort of like with modern cars. A fuel injection piece that looks like a carburetor...
  9. Thoughts on Warm up Times?

    On GM cars I always went to the junkyard and grabbed a factory HEI distributor from a 1975 or later model car.
  10. 265/285 width tires on stock PP wheels?

    Remember that the guys marketing tires and wheels here on the site are mainly in the market for looks. How does this look? Fill the wheel wells. Oh, that looks great. They are not out there beating on their wheel and tire combos on the track and saying, here is what gives your Mustang more...
  11. 265/285 width tires on stock PP wheels?

    So in the test, a 225 track tire was marginally faster on a 9 inch wheel than a 245. On an 8 inch wheel, it was no contest. The 225 was way faster. I am just providing information to help you make a decision. Stuffing even more tire on the same wheel is not only not always better, but it is...
  12. Dark Horse cooling help- auto transmission

    Great thread which I had not seen before. Thank you! Already on p. 1 there is post, #18, of an S550 guy who built a custom set up in front of his radiator and dropped his transmission temps from 240 down to a range of 210-215.
  13. Dark Horse cooling help- auto transmission

    So the 7A095B part that is just below the transmission is the transmission fluid cooler. The 7A095A oil cooler may be there, I have not taken a look but the performance pack GTs and the Dark Horse handling package care (or maybe even Dark Horse w/o handling package, I do not know) have...
  14. MMR Differential Oil Cooler Kit Install- Update 9/21/24 Track Testing

    Is this essentially the differential cooler that Ford installed in my Dark Horse or something different and better?
  15. 265/285 width tires on stock PP wheels?

    9 tests in total, three different tire widths on three different wheel widths. Adding tire width reduces lap times, up to a point. Increasing wheel width for the same tread width reduces lap times again. Watch this and see what you think. Which tire size was fastest? What was more...
  16. 265/285 width tires on stock PP wheels?

    It is not just a preference. I posted a YouTube video somewhere here where the proved it using different tires and wheels. Wider tires on a narrow wheel (pinched) actually slow the car down on track. Found it! See next post.
  17. Thoughts on Warm up Times?

    LOL, remember those days?
  18. Thoughts on Warm up Times?

    When I fail to warm it up, the car will stall if I try to drive, because it kicks off the choke and the fast idle cam.
