    Boost - Losing 5 lbs

    I took out the e 70 tune , put the stock tune in ( didn't drive it , obviously ) unloaded the stock tune and put in the e85 tune . Funny thing is , looking at the dyno sheet , it was making 19 - 20 lbs - towards the RPM range - with the E70 tune - weird .

    Boost - Losing 5 lbs

    Hey all , the other week I had a couple of issues with my car (2012 gt500 )- mainly losing a lot of boost ( boost was down to 10lbs ) and a burning smell coming from under the car .

    Clutch/Boost Issue ?

    Intercooler seems to be working - H/E kicks on and you can see the fluid flowing through the tank . What I meant with the fuel is that the first time it was on E85 , fuel consumption was GREATER than it is now on the same E85 tune , almost like the car is suddenly running lean ... ordered plugs...

    Tallest Rear Tire ???

    I guess I could juts cut the springs , but then with the current tires , the rear of the car would be sitting lower than the front , so I would then do the front , also . I like the look of the lowered Mustang , but as of now the front spoiler will scrape in certain situations , so I cant...
