LOL Spit it out. What happened?

I have asked that question a few times, why is everybody wanting the redline to be at 8000 and all of these YouTube videos of 8000 rpm shifts? Is there more horsepower? Does it make the car accelerate faster? If the car does not accelerate faster, you are simply putting a lot more stress on...

For flex or for E85?

Another couple of views of the 10.5/11 inch combination So, yeah, I would forget the spacers and go with the wheels.

Get the LMR DH wheels. Same size and appearance (slightly different) and backspacing as the originals with a lighter weight. Here they are with Michelins: https://lmr.com/item/WTK-444913DLFJ/sve-mustang-dhp1-forged-wheel-michelin-kit-graphite-2024 But you can buy the Trofeo RS tires online...

Is there some practical application for doing this of which I am unaware?

LOL, I was not even thinking about the tires. And the front splitter looks cool as hell, so I can live with the mileage. I was looking at my car as I left it in the parking deck, thinking, man, that is a nice looking car.

LOL, my first car had a redline of 5,500. My Pontiacs were 5200. I have built engines where the redline moved up, a small block Chevy to 7,000, but it broke, so maybe that was too much . . . It is still wild to me that this engine runs at such high rpm. I hear what you are saying. I never...

Maybe my poor mileage is because my Gurney Flap is still installed and I drive toward the 85 end of that range . . .

LOL. I must have more of a lead foot than you guys. While I can get over 20 mpg for short stretches, I am typically around 17mpg for a tank.

The fuel in the tank is how the pump is cooled. I would not make a habit of running so low, or you will lead your fuel pump to an early demise.

Mine saves the display on the dashboard, but it always starts in Normal mode.

I have a feeling that the tuning scene will be completely different in 6 months. We are expecting miracles in just a few days.

I was wondering what the limiter is, and what the top speed might be without it, as well. It almost sounds like the limiter is different on different models.

An oddity I have discovered about the original Trofeo RS tires. The rear, 315 tires are taller than the front, 305 tires. Look on TireRack, click on specs, and look at both the tire diameter and the revolutions per mile. The front tire is taller and less revolutions. :shock:

Damn. I was hoping I would get at least another track day out of them . . .

An early result, 458 at the wheels. I think that car made 434 on 93, but that video only mid 440s on E85, so who knows? 10-25 horsepower, less on first attempt, more with later finessing of the tune?

2800 miles but only one track day
