To be honest I am not sure I have seen anybody add headers and then tune. I think one of the tuners (PBD?) added headers and a ported intake and did a tune, but the intake is another variable that may not apply to headers and a tune.

Thank you for sharing that. Read every word and studied every photograph. :like:

Hoosier makes its R7 in a 295/30 size that has an 11" tread width and probably does not rub like that. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Hoosier&tireModel=R7&sidewall=Blackwall%20(Mount%20DOT%20inside)&partnum=93ZR9R7&tab=Sizes

We tried to fit an 18x12" wheel on the front or back of this S550 chassis, but came up short. Not possible without massive tire poke, cutting, or flares... 11" is the maximum and the 315mm Hoosier is pushing the limits of what "fits" - as you can see above.. End of Quote - and they had some...

Great article, but, um, I am not going to take a Sawzall to the front fenders of my beautiful Blue Ember Metallic Dark Horse to fit 12" wheels up front . . . Wow, they got some excellent results, though, I and I liked the look of the S197 with the fenders flared after they were painted. For...

Oops

I had no idea. Sorry I mentioned it, now. I just saw a picture of a chunk of the cast center of a flow formed wheel flying of on the track, lol, but it could have been one in a million, who knows?

SVE does not have the reputation that a company like Apex does for road racing. I cannot comment on the actual usefulness of SVE v. Apex. I just do not know. I think Apex has a very good reputation. SVE has historically been a cast wheel company. Then they got into flow formed. Now they...

21 pounds for the 10", and 23 pounds for the 10.5" but only 22 pounds for the 11" wheel, according to the video.

UPDATE: Sorry, I was not searching for it properly or something. SVE does make the 10.5 forged wheel in Graphite, and they sell it in a package with the Michelins. https://lmr.com/item/WTK-444913DLFJ/sve-mustang-dhp1-forged-wheel-michelin-kit-graphite-2024

Well, the price reflects what you are getting. If you want a forged wheel and a quality tire, then even from the same company (SVE), the package will be significantly more expensive. Take a lookout the forged Dark Horse look alike and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S...

This next guy got 1000 horsepower from adding headers.

They give some comparisons to their own flow formed wheel design at about 10 minutes in (video).

Yeah, I posted that in another thread. (A) That one is not tuned, and (B) I was curious if anybody here is doing it. EDIT - It was not "another thread." I posted it on page 1, as post #5. :crackup:

I hesitated to make a recommendation, because I am not an expert in this field. If I were buying today, the only two I would consider are the Apex VS-5RS or the Apex SM-10RS, although I wish I could get them in the exact same color as my current Dark Horse wheels. I did not want to mislead...

Nobody here installed headers and a tune? It is Whipple or nothing?

Now you have me wondering whether your experience was just temperature, rather than the tires being all done. Ah, never mind, I see you said they were not sticking at high 80's. Odd, because I am over 6000 miles, and mine still stick in warmer weather. All sticky. But at 52° - forget it...

It's not divisive - your money, your wheels, your car. :like: And objectively lighter is better, and forged are going to be lighter and better. How much better and how expensive are the only questions.
