It is cold tires on the cold pavement losing traction. They are slipping and grabbing. My Pirelli Trofeo RS tires would do that with almost any throttle opening at below 50° F when I first set out in the morning. They never did it on warm mornings.
The Michelin PS4S on there now require...
Don't apologize just because of one grumpy poster. Asking questions is a good way to learn.
Speaking of questions, what is your proposed use of your Whippled Dark Horse? Just cruising? Drag racing? Circuit track events? Autocross? Drifting? Street roll racing (you hooligan)?
Do you have...
815 horsepower is a waste? :giggle:
And here I was writing Whipple to ask what is the largest pulley I could install to keep CHT and oil temperatures down a little on HPDE track days.
(the answer is 4 inches)
Good choice. The Trofeo RS are horrible at anything under 50 degrees. I enjoyed them all summer, though, and well into the fall, whenever it was not raining.

Yipes, it was 19° this morning when I got in the car (both on the weather channel and on my dashboard). 😳
Hrmph. 😠
Well, nothing to be done. I have to be somewhere.
I felt the tire. It was rock hard. I felt the all season OE tires on the Explorer, too. Also rock hard. 🤔 I am sure...
Since then I did encounter a guy on TrackMustangs who ran a boosted (positive displacement blower) three valve Ford engine who said in his opinion, "Yes, e85 runs cooler. No debate about it. It also lets you run more ignition timing so you make more power. It’s also less than half the cost of...
Well, he claimed it was quieter than the stock resonator, if I recall correctly. Plus, it is three inch piping, as opposed to the two and one quarter inch reduced pipe size of the stock resonator, which has to be worth a little horsepower at 7,000 rpm.
What if you cut the hole at the top of the strut ?
Can you get 3.5° then?
The camber plate slots are limited (you can see it in the picture above), but do you run into interference at the edge of the strut hole before you run out of room with the slots in the camber plate?
