[QUOTE="lindermant, post: 14086038, member: 32103"] [b]first test & tune 2014 (2005 mustang gt)[/b] no new personal best, but learning occurred :coolman: Northern VA Mustang Club track rental at Mason-Dixon Dragway (MD) on Sat, April 12, 2014 ([I]note date on the time slips below is incorrect[/I]).

I think the sweet spot for my setup will be 14-15psi in the rear tires, with the rear shocks on +3. I hope to be able to launch off the limiter at MIR - that track just flat out hooks. This fall I plan to lose the passenger/rear seats and run the p/s delete short belt for my hero run.
