I've done some of my best work in a carport....come to think of it, not much gets done in the garage. :rolleyes:

I got a chance to run the car out at Buttonwillow with the new torque arm. It was a little looser into the corners but drove harder coming out so I'd say the time spent netted a gain.

A little loose on entry isn't a bad thing, just look at Moto-x and GP bikes...Ken Block is loose on entry :D

If I could make a suggestion...now keep in mind I'm only a partial expert and not in the field of suspension or driving....or mustangs. Not so good with women or finances either, come to think of it I've really got no business giving any kind of advice. I did however attend one of Ron Suttons classes so that qualifies me as someone who has interest in the subject.
Here it is.
1) lower rear .5 psi
2) more cowbell

Good to see you're out having fun and making improvements.
:thumbsup:

I talked to Gaetano (not really) and he said 10 psi (or maybe it was 100) in the shocks.... His advice was also to add two clicks to something, and to drive faster. The key is to be a better drag racer between all those stupid corners.

So what are you thinking?

And was the car looser or just the front or back? I'm guessing the back was loose on entry and the front was gripping.....Yup, that's what I think. Easy fix.

The TA swap was just a start. I'm no suspension Guru but I slept at a Holiday Inn the other night so here is the plan I came up with:

1 Call A suspension tuner
2 Put what he tells me to on the car.
3 Drive faster.
