nice numbers...if im not mistaken your 20s are heavier than your stock wheels...and depending on that weight, plus the overall circumference of the 20s compared to the stockers, you would have a difference in RWHP...if the dyno guy is a connection of sorts, and should you dyno it again, you would probably be better off with the old rims.

but, thats if youre REALLY that concerned about your rwhp...you dont own a mustang, so you may not care much...

touche!
well yer right tho. I don't car enough to go swappin rims. I don't even have the stock ones to put on.
Latest quarter mile time is 14.2 @98mph. This was before the JetChip and I was runnin without fuse 17. Next time I will be in the high 13s with fuse 17 back in but ESP turned off with the dash button.

agreed on the thermostat. I've bought two of em and have given em both away before installing em.
Does the fan mod really do that much?

right now, the GSM fan mod is the only way to keep the motor at 180 degrees. the stock fans turn on at 217 and turn off at 212. the fan is only needed at speeds lower than 45 mph.

I guess you leave it on while in line at the track?
Does it kill ESP too or is that a seperate switch?
Do you use the GSM ESP kill switch at the track or just the dash button... ooor do you leave it on?
I couldn't hook up at all last time cuz I had fuse 17 out. 14.2 at 98 was my best. 16.9 at 97 was my funnest. Sideways halfway down the track.


I'm thinkin leaving fuse 17 and just turning it off at the dash will be better.
