Mjschneidy replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.cjatrains - so you are running stock HP rear set up except for the bar? Front is only the CFTP springs plus the spring inserts? Asking because I’m chasing trying to dial in my M1 HP and not liking where I’m at now. Did you do anything with... (see full post)
steveespo replied to the thread S550 Heel-toe struggles.Not really, you do need to be on the brake and fully release the clutch for the second shift. I can sometimes beat the timing if I don't fully release the clutch. (see full post)
StangGuy97 replied to the thread S197 Sallie.Wow, didn't realize how long its been since I posted. Last time at the track, the wheel studs on the right rear broke. That incident has necessitated a mid-season upgrade. I've taken the opportunity to catch up on upgrades I had bought but not... (see full post)
Bedouin replied to the thread S550 Heel-toe struggles...the left ball of foot & slight roll onto the throttle (with a wider gas pedal) is great advice, & if you practice on every downshift during street driving it’ll become second nature at the track. Also very important is having the throttle lag... (see full post)
byronj replied to the thread S550 Heel-toe struggles.It takes a few minutes to get used to. Place the the pedal is about 1/4 to 1/2 lower than the brake (see full post)
Bill Pemberton replied to the thread S197 FR500S #32.You are in PA., why not take it over to Phoenix Performance, LLC in Phoenixville, PA., as they have a ton of experience with S197s having fielded a boat load of " National Champion " Mustangs in SCCA!!phoenixperformancellc.com (see full post)
bnight replied to the thread Rear diff whine after track sessions (Dark Horse) – normal?.Start with checking your wheel hubs as they start to whine on track if it's not wheel hubs than it's most likely the diff. I change my fluids every season 75W140 and this year my diff started whining way more (Steeda diff inserts, IRS base kit... (see full post)
blacksheep-1 replied to the thread S550 Heel-toe struggles.I'm a kart racer, it was either left foot braking or left foot braking and a sequential box, so I never was good at heel n toe, for this reason I use an auto Blip, and for me, not having to mickey mouse around with a laptop and programming is a...

TMSBOSS replied to the thread S550 Heel-toe struggles.Exactly. The knobs of the auto blip have moved on me. Some have put rubber bands or o rings on the knobs to hold the knobs. With the Xing unit you can program in, by percentage, the amount of delay and activation. When working out which... (see full post)
Fabman replied to the thread S550 Does more power = more heat?.I saw similar gains on my super charged 3 valve before I went to the N/A Coyote. (see full post)
txgt replied to the thread S550 Heel-toe struggles.In general I’m a fan of MMR products. Their module is plug and play and is controlled via an app on your phone so that was the deciding factor. (see full post)- RedStallion27 replied to the thread S550 Heel-toe struggles.Thanks. Would you mind sharing why the Xing is more consistent? Does the Autoblip not hold its setting properly? (see full post)
- RedStallion27 replied to the thread S550 Heel-toe struggles.Yes I tried that first. The gas pedal was in the way when trying to brake normally, but I suppose maybe I'd get used to the change. Thanks. (see full post)
- RedStallion27 replied to the thread S550 Heel-toe struggles.Thanks I will give this method a shot! It makes total sense. (see full post)
- RedStallion27 replied to the thread S550 Heel-toe struggles.Thanks. Yes fumbling it is so frustrating, especially on a great lap. Would you mind sharing why you chose MMR over Auto-Blip or Xineering? (see full post)
- RedStallion27 replied to the thread S550 Heel-toe struggles.Thanks. Definitely something to consider if I continue having trouble. Are double-downshifts tricky with a blip module? (see full post)
- Champale replied to the thread Boss Axle (No) Vent.If you ever plan on driving at high speeds (over 100mph), you will want a rear axle overflow catch can. JLT used to make a great one that a lot of us used 10+ years ago that was a simple catch can with a single bolt mounted bracket but I don't... (see full post)
- galaxy replied to the thread Boss Axle (No) Vent.Aaahhhhh. sh*t, I found it.So is that normal then for the thing to hold pressure? She’s been sitting for a few days also, thus it caught me by surprise to hear it vent when I pulled the plug. (see full post)
- Bouncing Soul replied to the thread S550 Does more power = more heat?.Closest thing to a cheat code in motorsports. My supercharger lid is noticeably cooler when I have my 500 on E- on top of the extra 120HP or so. (see full post)
- galaxy replied to the thread Boss Axle (No) Vent.It looks/feels factory. And it’s a brand new car, so I have no reason to suspect someone did this due to leaks. (see full post)
