Exactly the point. These cars don't really pickup with cramming timing into them. Most people aren't going to chase 4whp gains by adding timing at a certain level. You aren't going to find 50whp by adding 10 degree's if the timing is in the ballpark. Historically these cars are in the low teens for small turbo's and below 8000.

 

I agree. I was scared and lazy before and was depending on my local tuner too heavily.

 

Wow this looks like such a fun street car! Get ready to replace synchros will that tq!

 

I don't understand how synchros are eaten up by torque. The only brake gears to same speed to allow slider to lock together. Too much torque means gears can shear off to me. Or bend the tranny shafts apart if gears hold. What am I missing?

 

You're taking my post way too seriously. I'm speaking of things like rebuilding the tranny in general depending on your driving habits. So in a rebuild or your shifting habits, clutch drag etc. I hope you'd be replacing synchros, gears, bearings and so on. Been there done that. Good luck

 

Mustang Dyno FTW!
All other Dynos produce high #s
Especially a Virtual Dyno SMH
Whereas Mustangs are 💔
Point being, make high #s on aMustang & you know ur makingAt least those digits!

 

Why wouldn't he take your comment for face value? LoLYour comment was backwards. It goes w/I saying that you replace synchros when rebuilding the tranny, but not the other way around. He simply means that synchros are not affected by Torque.
They're affected by either bad shifting or a failing clutch.
The Trans gears on the other hand are definitely affected by Torque, which is why you get them REM ISF treated.

 

Numbers are just numbers. Dynos are a tool and what they read is kind of whatever.
That said, when VD is setup correctly, it does give pretty accurate numbers. The last time I had my car on a mustang, the VD graph I made the weekend before was within 5hp of the dyno.

 

I did dyno then VD pulls and its was 5hp diff also, with more mid torque
