  1. S550 GTPP - Tune (rev limit, hp increase?)

    I'm looking to increase maximum engine RPM & HP/"area under the curve"(via tune for 93 vs. OEM 87 octane). The car is a stock 2015 GTPP aside from basic things such as catback CAI. I believe there would be a decent benefit in laptimes at a few of the tracks I run with having another...
  2. Vorshlag 2018 Mustang GT + S550 Development Thread

    Any ideas to fix the fuel starvation issue aside from running atleast a half tank of fuel?
  3. New to S550, looking for starter tips

    The marketing on BMR's website suggests this likely reduces wheelhop and suitable for 'stangs used at the strip. I can't help but wonder in a roadrace environment will the mod lead to reducing laptimes or if it's largely just dead weight and a preception or confidence enhancer (ie: can whatever...
  4. S550 HPDE Prep - Need advice

    I'm running a pretty similar setup as Track Pony, GTPP with Project 6GR wheels (see below tread) 19x11 square (295/30/19), -2.8* front & -2.5 rear, Steeda camber plates up front and their adjustable inner mount in the rear(PITA to install BTW). APR wheel studs & 21mm custom spacers up front...
  5. Did you notice the price on Hawk Race pads for the S550 Performance Pack pads?? Wow!

    Nah, Slick Performance out of Ottawa. Drop shipped to my door. Andre is a racer in these parts for nearly 20 years, good service.https://www.slickautosolutions.com/
  6. Lap Time Thread

    Tires heat cycled out?
  7. Did you notice the price on Hawk Race pads for the S550 Performance Pack pads?? Wow!

    I'm using DTC-60's and was able to get similar pricing up in Canada. Very happy with the product, currently at 5 abusive track days with some minimal street driving and the pads are still at 7/10's wear.
  8. Lap Time Thread

    They aren't really comparable. DDT is slow(good for learning) and the GP track is a world class circuit. I only live about an hour from Mosport so running the DDT offers a unqiue venue to the Time Attack series. Given how far you're traveling it woulld be a bit of waste to run a split day...

  10. S550 GTPP - Fuel Starvation

    Yes, on a track. I just find it very weird that it hasn't been discussed more given that it occurs with such a full tank. The exact corner is at 5:59 within the below video (not my car). Nothing particulary exciting, just a double apex opening radius with some bumps and curbs to move the car...
  11. S550 GTPP - Fuel Starvation

    Has anybody experienced fuel starvation when under 3/4 tank during long sustained loading left hand turns? If this is not common and just an issue with my car, ideas on why? 2015 GTPP
  12. Lap Time Thread

    It's the same rubber compound as the R888 with a different carcass and tread pattern. As I'm not testing back-to-back (previous expirence was with a C5Z over 6 years) it's tough to come to absolute convictions in opinion although my preception is that steering response, feedback, and...

  14. Autocrossing tips??

    My car is a 2015 GTPP. The event ended up going well and I won my class while setting a new track record for the class. I'm sure there is another half second or so in the car once getting the traction controll fully off. On my track wheels I'm not running tire pressure sensors and am...
