I'm down homie. This weekend is pretty much open for me with exception of Saturday afternoon from noon-5pm.

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

No need to be defensive. It's just a conversation. If you can't handle it, don't post on the subject.

That's kind of what I'm referring to. People do stuff like that putting way too much stock into dyno numbers for bragging rights but then only end up looking like a clown when the performance of the vehicle doesn't match claimed peak numbers.

The only numbers that matter are performance numbers at the track and A/F ratio.

No harm done. I just wanted to see a dyno chart. That's all I said. Nothing about peak power or acceleration

He's still on the stock motor and running low boost. It's most likely making around 600-650rwhp/600tq through the auto. He will be putting an Aluminator motor in it at some point. That kit on a different car with a built motor previously made 1249rw to give you an indication of what it capable of producing.

Cool. I'd like to see when the boost comes on in the Coyote. Smaller displacement V8 so wondering if the boost is laggy at all.

It's instant. To add to that, being an auto he can easily brake boost it to leave instantly on the hit at full torque.

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!

May I ask why did you go with the twin turbo kit and not the single?

This makes zero sense to me... Id be dead or in jail going 200+ mph up and down 75 trying to tune my car...

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.

not if you know what you're doing.
