Kevin knows what he's doing for sure, but to do my setup properly, you can't tune it in second and call it a day.

I guess it's cool to tune it for driveability and all, but almost impossible to get the maps tuned while hauling f'in ass.

No one said anything about doing 200 MPH. Just lock the converter in a gear and make some WOT pulls to redline. No need to speed.

I don't have a converter. And to tune a turbo car properly, it needs to be in 1 to 1 to load the car properly. My car will do 200 or a tad more in fourth gear...
Just saying that it isn't so safe and very difficult to monitor real time.

But I know a 315 takes some work on these 11-14 5.0s Is it just me or would Junkies 375 rear tire from the slow ass Viper look killer on this?

It's about balance and the lines of the car. If you look at the sidewalls of the tires, they are already starting to bulge ever so slightly. I can guarantee you Kevin would not put anymore tire on that wheel because sidewall bulge is not only ugly, but unsafe. He would need to widen the wheels at the very least to fit that much tire if not have to alter the fenderwells which I'm sure he doesn't want to do hacking up the car. Besides, running that much tire really isn't necessary to go fast, it looks cool, but not needed.

He's correct, dyno numbers mean absolutely squat. Only this latest generation of car guys are obsessed with peak dyno numbers as a measuring stick for performance not understanding peak numbers don't mean squat. (mind you most of them don't know SHIT about cars other than what they read online with NO first hand experience turning wrenches themselves.)

I'll give you a cookie if you can find where I stated or emplied that peak power determines acceleration entirely .

There was a guy on the Facebook group that posted a dyno graph of his F150 a couple of weeks ago.
Stated the truck (5.0 w/ straight pipes and an AFE CAI) made 4xx whp and 42x wtq. I called BS. He didn't like it.
When he posted the graph, the dyno readings skyrocketed when the truck hit the factory rev limiter, obviously skewing his "peak" numbers. He honestly believe his truck made that peak power for a split second of RPM...LOL

So freaking sick! That's the first time I've seen the TF super sport wheel and liked it. Makes me want to ditch my forgestars.
Great job Kevin. Just like your red termi. Sick!
