I'm not really interested in racing. I'm just expressing curiosity as to how the systems settings work as to getting off the line. I suspect I'll never be able to get a lot of the HP to the ground on launch with my setup. As I've said, my thing is 20 to 90 MPH WOT where safe to do so, like getting on an empty freeway or on back road without any side streets. I doubt I'll make any mods to improve launch.

Not sure if I asked or not, had you considered getting it dyno'd ?

When I started modding my 11, I had a FRPP 750 kit installed, ProCal tune.
The tune was very conservative, netted me 656rwhp..... ( that didn't last long )

You aren't gonna have much luck with those baby tires

You're no the least bit curious what their 670 package puts to the ground in YOUR car ??

...................( you didn't get it base-lined either ? )

No such thing as more than enough horsepower!

Of course, but I think I'm stopping at 670!

I'm going spend some time learning how to improve acceleration from 0 to 30 mph with stock tires. I'm open to any suggestions on that! It isn't as easy as it sounds! So far, it seems like the answer may be in using either the "Sport or Track Modes" with the "Traction Control left on! With "Tractions Control" off it really takes way too much throttle control with stock tires & frankly dangerous. I'd like a setting that controlled the traction until well off the line & then applied full horsepower. I've been done with the flu lately & haven't had much time to play with the car.

Wash your hands a lot & keep your fingers away from your eyes! The flu isn't fun!

From the BMR site:
.
" BMR Suspension tested its 2015 Mustang GT and shows us that when spinning the wheels at launch, the tires clearly slip and grip repeatedly causing the entire suspension system to oscillate. This is caused by deflection of the bushings in the lower control arms, bushings in the cradle and differential bushings.

To combat this, BMR Suspension has developed an entire line of rear suspension parts in attempt to cure all signs of wheel hop on the S550 Mustang, including:
◦BMR Full Spherical Lower Control Arm
◦BMR Delrin Cradle Bushings
◦BMR 95 Durometer Poly Differential Bushings
◦BMR Billet Vertical Links – Rod End/Delrin Combo
◦Factory Toe Rods
◦18-inch Wheels with 255/40R18 MT ET Street Radial IIs "

Good to know! I'm I right in thinking that "Track Mode" with the "Traction Control" left on is probably the best you can do with with stock tires?

Opinions?
