I'm taking my 2011 GT to the strip for the first time tomorrow, here at the Yas Circuit in Abu Dhabi (UAE). I'll be running on Toyo R888's R-compound 305-35-18's, which hopefully will give me somewhat decent traction, with my mods. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for what stiffness I should dial in for my Ford Racing adj suspension, tire pressure, and optimal launch rpms...? Any tips are appreciated!
My mechanical setup is a 2011 GT manual trans, 3.73 gears, ARH longtubes with catted x-pipe, Borla over axle pipes with 2013 GT500 mufflers, BMR relo brackets, Ford Racing adj shocks/struts with the P-springs, Eibach sways, Steeda panhard with upper and lower control arms, DSS aluminum driveshaft, Boss 302 intake, 90mm throttlebody, JLT CF intake, Boss oil cooler, MGW shifter...as listed in my signature, lol!
The temps here have been fairly mild for the region, mid to upper 70's in the day, dropping to 60's in the evening...our track time is from 3-7 PM. I'm thinking of launching about 3500 rpm, shifting around 7300 (my tune has my rev limiter set to 7600), and starting at around 32 psi and lowering. I don't know if I'll be able to avoid the burnout box, but will try to, since these are really road race tires, and not drag radials.
