My Trofeo RS recommended setting on the door jamb was 33psi cold. Two things. (1) they shot up to 46-48psi after 20 minutes on track, so I had to let a bunch of air out of them to get the best performance. (2) setting them to around 33 psi cold (I actually drifted lower cold as time went by)...
Are the "Sprint" wheels recommended for our Mustangs? I ask only because of the weight. These cars are not 3200 lbs. Street and/or track HPDE days only (with sticky tires and kerbs).
Are you guys getting a check engine light or some sort of dashboard warning regarding low coolant level, of are you just noticing the reservoir is low?
I wanted to ask those of you who have used Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires what you set for tire pressure. I have had these tires wear in the middle first (in the center of the tread rather than at the edges on either side). My Trofeo RS tires did the same. Accordingly, I have been...
Oooooh.
Well, then, Cali sucks. Guns and cars are my two favorite hobbies, and Cali attacks both of them . . . headers are really an automatic fail? I mean, no cats I understand, but headers?
Sorry to those who live there. I think it is otherwise an awesome state with great natural beauty.
Wouldn't he be slower somewhat equally on all of the cars, assuming your theory is true?
Also, if being 68 makes him slower, it is probably by fractions of a second. I mean, if you review his Wikipedia entry, he is still winning or placing things he enters, including as recently as 2021 and 2023.
This is a 6th Gen Mustang, 120mm pulley, no asphalt prep, but drag tires.
"So I got my new drag wheels mounted up , went an attempted 1/4 mile dragy pass. I just stopped in road did a very very soft launch in 2nd gear. About 100mph the car started shaking pretty bad and kept getting worse so I...
That is a huge difference in horsepower going from 125 to 120mm pulley, 632 horsepower jumps up to 711? 8 psi increases to 10psi. That seems like a mistake of some sort, not a real result on the dyno.
When you select options to order the 125 is 7 psi and the 120 is only 8psi, not 10. It...
I am satisfied with the Michelin Pilots Sport 4S tires I installed early in December, so far. BUT, on days like today, when it is 70° out, I really miss my Trofeo RS tires.
😕

I don't know anything about this. I am just posting a link to show something that is available on the aftermarket.
At 1000 horsepower, the rings do not expand until the gap is gone and then pop the skirts off the pistons?
What sort of fuel? You are not doing that on 93 octane, not with 12:1 compression.
You need bigger ring gaps and E85 (to keep the piston oil rings cooler) - which means tearing down the...
Excellent update. Glad it worked out for you.
I see it is 78 and sunny in Roswell in December. Maybe it is time to consider a second set of four 18 x 11 or 19 x 11 wheels and some sticky performance tires, Michelin Cup 2R, Hoosier Track Attack, Pirelli Trofeo, or even just a more street...
