Yes, one would think so but some of the folks using HP Tuner software seem to struggle finding the right combination of limits to modify. I noticed on Steeda’s Mach 1 tune video that their tune raised the 6-7 shift point.
21 HP in Track Mode, auto shifting, the WOT acceleration typically shifts at 7400rpm in the lower gears but the 6-7 shift occurs at 6800rpm. My research seems to indicate that one would need a tune to raise this shift point. Has anyone been successful in raising the 6-7 shift rpm point and who...
@TRDFurgesson. Beautiful! Since i drive to the track, I’ve been running the GY SC3R 305/325 staggered on Apex wheels, been a pretty nice tire so far.
For me, dual rates are fine on 12 hour road trips and the weight shift on track was vastly reduced. I don’t notice any understeer on track but I’m only running about 8/10’s, just having fun at Sebring.
Steeda dual rate springs here, softer completion rear sway bar. I made the lower splitter easily removable, take it and the gurney flap off for road trips. For me, this is a really nice setup for a track/road trip car.
The A10 transmission keeps the revs up nicely but the ECU protects the CHT by limiting the 6-7 shift at 6800 rpm. It will also lower the shift point if it thinks the CHT is getting too warm. The ECT is a calculated value I believe derived from the rate of change of the CHT. I experienced lower...
I believe this recommendation is for the 2.3L turbo high output engine. I use 5W-40 during track season as I had a low oil pressure warning once that put the car into limp mode.
A good video on the differences between motor trend and car & driver braking tests….
PS, I installed the track orientated Essex/AP Racing kit on my M1, easier install than the GT350R route, all of my wheel sets clear, and the system works very wheel on track. It is a bit pricy though...
I used a small burr bit on a drill to create a center point and then an air hammer with a pointed tip and just knocked them out. But that was from underneath the vehicle. If you can remove the lower splitter with the splash shield, you may be able to just cut them with a flush cutter.
If I...
Assuming you’re inquiring about the lower splitter that is standard equipment on a M1 HP and the aftermarket splitter attaches in the same manner, then if you just want to remove the lower splitter the plastic rivets need to be removed. I believe the lower splitter can be removed with the belly...
