[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 15814068, member: 68944"] Nailed it. I think a gt350r setup for 9000rpm on e85 and mild bolt ons for 525-550whp with a 3.90 to 4.10 rear for a bit of shorter gearing, as well as sticky sub 60tw tires in a square 315 all around, and about 100lbs of weight reduction to end up around 3500lbs would be about the perfect s550 grip mustang. It’d barely be a mid 11 car, but it would feel so much more like an r34 gtr or an m4 gts, amg c63 black series. Big power is nice for straight lines. I have 3500 miles on my fresh built turbo cobra. The 3475 of those have been on 10psi. Honestly I want to put 5psi wastegate springs in it and a 4.30 set in the rear because I love to rev it out to 7500 (8k+ once I go stand-alone. I already have good heads/cams), and with the 3.73’s and 10psi, I’m going unenjoyably fast for stop light and canyon work. It traps 140 on 10psi. I think trapping much over 120 for a canyon carver is redundant power. You have to play traction management, and be patient... Honestly the funnest cars I’ve driven trapped 110-120, but were very light and agile. 2000-2500lbs with 200-400whp way up high at 8500+rpm with short gearing is a lot of fun. [/QUOTE]
