Fuel Level at The Track

[wickedstangs]

What Fuel Level do you guys run at the track?

Unfortunately, half a tank in GT500's. Anything less than that and you risk getting temporary fuel starvation on hard launches/shifts due to uncovering the fuel pickup.

Thanks IronTerp really appreciate that..

I run over a half, under 3/4

I've also found the extra weight in the rear of the car helps with traction issues. I run as much as 3/4 of a tank now for ballast.

It's a bit of a Catch 22. Putting weight over the rear tires can certainly help with traction and weight transfer with the GT500's. But at 6.6 lbs per gallon of gas, you're going to be increasing your race weight. With the Terminators, 3 to 4 gallons, (about a 40 lbs weight savings when compared to 10 gallons in the GT500's), was totally acceptable without any risk of fuel starvation. And with the heavy-ass IRS, wasn't as much of a benefit to put weight over the rear tires on the 03/04's.

Full, because this thing sucks gas on the road course like no tomorrow. :burnout:

Full Tank, you have enough power to take care of the extra weight...................
