But you are running a Toyo RR in 295/30/19 on the original Dark Horse handling package 10.5" wheel, right? That should not have any problems with rubbing.

I used those words, and nothing useful or even relevant appeared. Maybe I am searching incorrectly somehow.

Thanks for posting that. Wow, an 11 inch wheel and a 325 tire up front? They actually fit with no rubbing on a high speed uphill turn pulling 1.2 Gs or when running over a kerb? Even for the slightly lower handling package Dark Horses? That 325 Hoosier tire is 11.2" tread width and 26.9"...

Interesting that you got the Toyo RR to perform well. Have you tried some other track tires, like the Hoosier track attack pro or R7 or A7 or Nankang CRS or Trofeo R or RS? Also, with the camber plates, how much camber are you running for best results?

Have you done any tuning along with the headers or just a bolt on? Have you been back to the track to see about your transmission temperatures since doing all of this work?

What wheels are you running?

What is this about a notice on the dashboard that the Dark Horse is now untethered?

Interesting

The tread is much wider on those - it looks like wider than the wheel width. I would be very much interested in your opinion of how they compare to the Trofeos, and more especially so if you have lap times to compare. Update: Weird. So I go to Tire Rack to look up the tread width. The...

What tire/wheel combination do you use for track days?

Well, I had the local dealership change the oil with my oil and filter purchased on RockAuto. There is a checklist when they deliver the car back to you, fluids, brake pad life, tread depth. I was surprised when reviewing the checklist to learn that my Trofeo RS tires, which have 4700 miles...

Oil temperatures are definitely different in different modes. Normal is the lowest temperature. Track is higher. I have not driven for any significant length of time in Drag Mode, those violent shifts are annoying. Track mode is a lot more rpm = higher engine oil temperature. I was...

That one was a 4 speed - Lesson 102 in Torque Capacity Ratings and how there ain't never been no 1960s/70s GM transmission built to handle what this dorky 80s kid was building to install in front of it. But, yeah, having a manual transmission made the camshaft and rpm range easier to live with...

Question: At this level would 2 inch headers improve anything?

I was a bit of an idiot when I was young, always pushing the boundaries on compression and camshaft lobe size. Oh, this camshaft says it does not start until 3500 rpm? Perfect for my one car daily driver! :crackup: 3.73 gears with no overdrive is also just perfect for a drive all the way...

LOL, yeah, I do not know whether I will ever make it to 5000 miles on the dashboard prior to an oil change. I do baby mine a lot, but I also go to the track and I sometimes let it rip on the street (I know, I know, save it for the track). My second oil change was today, at 4700 miles or so. I...

I'll add that the old "let it idle for 30 seconds to a minute to let oil circulate" has nothing to do with modern oil pressure and flow in an engine like the Coyote. I was watching my hot oil pressure at 74 psi or so while driving at 2000 rpm or a little more and thinking, "Back in the old days...

I pause only long enough to put on my seat belt and start up the podcast to which I am going to listen. It does no good at all to leave a cold engine idling. Plus, if it is very early in the morning, even on "Quiet" exhaust mode, the sound goes right through the house, and I figure if I drive...

Is there a right way or a wrong way to do it?

PS5 is the replacement for PS4, but they do not have very many sizes available yet, certainly none that would fit my Dark Horse HP wheels.
