  1. Tire recommendation?? --> 285/35/19 on 19X10 wheels.........

    I canā€™t say enough good things about the Michelin AS4. Itā€™s honestly funny to me how good it is at all times, and how close it is in dry conditions to my summer tires. I run it in 255/40/19 as my winter tire. AS4 is the OEM non performance package Corvette tire for a reason now, itā€™s very very...
  2. For those of you with the FP tune package

    I gave it zero thought and have ran the tune in rain without issue for 2 years. The vent hole isnā€™t that big and it would take quite the inches/hour to really flood it. However, your question isnā€™t without some validity, might be worth it to post in the thread for that tune specifically to see...
  3. PP Strut Tower Brace kit + Cowl Extension + Lower K Brace Install Guide

    Weight concerns aside since thatā€™s really up to you: The firewall brace was noticeable to me when I first added it (and this was without the strut tower brace). It makes turn in a little more immediate and is noticeable in something like a slalom. More noticeable in DD scenarios, it got rid of...
  4. Wheel and Tire Indecision on GT Model

    I run 285/35 19 square on 19x10 +35 Yes, I get some occasional tugging up front especially if there are ruts in the road. But itā€™s not as violent as some descriptions I read prior to having wide front tires. Worth the trade off to me for handling and the ability to rotate tires front and rear...
  5. Wheel and Tire Indecision on GT Model

    For rock guards, there are a few threads on them. Iā€™m very happy with these. https://rokblokz.com/collections/ford-rally-mud-flaps/products/ford-mustang-v6-ecoboost-gt-splash-guards-15-17 Any wheel and tire more aggressive than factory offset is going to eventually throw something on the...
  6. Ford Performance Tune for 2018+ GT

    Same catch can. Had it on for about 18 months with the tune. No issues. I should probably add some heat tape or something else but havenā€™t.
  7. Do you drive in quiet mode?

    I use it quite a lot, even more after an X pipe. Itā€™s pretty boomy in the rear seat otherwise and I have toddler back there who deserves a chance to ruin his hearing later haha. You also get to hear a nice intake tone when there is less exhaust volume. I do find myself driving faster in quiet if...
  8. Wheel fitment

    Front will poke some. Common fit is between +35 to +40 on a 10ā€ wheel. Rear is spot on for an 11ā€
  9. shall i pull the trigger?

    For some perspective on price: I bought my 2018 GT 401a with multiple options (not PP) for $32.5K used @ 12k miles in January 2019. Even in this wild market, itā€™s possible prices fall in winter when people arenā€™t after sports coupes.
  10. Ford Performance Tune for 2018+ GT

    Youā€™re right about the torque management in low gears being a thing. I notice it separately from TC. Iā€™m not positive itā€™s actually better with the FRPP tune. 1st still feels like itā€™s holding something back, because sometimes Iā€™ll short shift into 2nd while being aggressive on throttle and I...
  11. Is there a site that list track events, around the country?

    There are other sites, but I found this when my SCCA region moved registration here. I get an email each month with every event within 300 miles of me. https://www.motorsportreg.com/
  12. Ford Performance Tune for 2018+ GT

    Itā€™s really obvious why there is more low end torque: itā€™s a 91+ tune. Therefore FRPP can always use more aggressive timing at low rpm, which gives you more torque. It says +40 lb-ft at 2,000 RPM right in the marketing material. Itā€™s less that they held back the car from the factory, and more...
  13. Apex EC7 versus SVE R357?

    Another member here got SVE to approve an R357 19x10 square set over the phone. I wanted those for a long time but ended up with X500 because square and rotation was more important; now I love the look and Iā€™m glad I chose them.
  14. Dog friendly mustang

    For your existing cover, could you hook some suction cups onto the sides that are falling down and put them on the rear quarter windows? Probably wonā€™t solve your whole problem but itā€™s something. Shedding and cleaning the carpet is gonna be what it is either way. Some anti static or maybe a...
  15. Ford Performance Tune for 2018+ GT

    Ah yes I will have to rewatch that.
  16. Ford Performance Tune for 2018+ GT

    Turns out itā€™s easy enough to find something related online. Hereā€™s a blog post copying an interview from Autoweek. I got about 5 search hits all with the same wording šŸ˜‚ It covers VW emissions with manuals and how rev hang can avoid lean air/fuel conditions and reduce NOx...
  17. Ford Performance Tune for 2018+ GT

    That could also be a result of engine and wheel speed not being matched at the moment you get back on throttle. I do that plenty when Iā€™m winding it out and shifting aggressively at redline, still a skill I donā€™t have mastered.
  18. Ford Performance Tune for 2018+ GT

    Oh interesting. Care to elaborate or point me somewhere? Iā€™m curious how thatā€™s related.
  19. Ford Performance Tune for 2018+ GT

    Yes Iā€™ve noticed this as well. Makes me wonder if the strategy is to prefer rpm to be a little high vs a little low on upshift in the case the car is being wound out through gears. I will ignorantly speculate as to why: I think it makes more sense to slow the engine a little at mesh vs...
  20. Ford Performance Tune for 2018+ GT

    Itā€™s really surprising how much smoother the MT-82 cars are to drive with this kit. Just Putting around DD or driving hard, itā€™s just better. The factory tunes rev hang is so obviously bad once itā€™s gone.
