strut tower brace help with et?

07stanggt · August 7th, 2008, 01:11 AM

Went to the track tonight on street tires again. Didnt let any air pressure out of the tires, launched at about 1000rpms.

Ran my best times on street tires ever. 3 runs all 12.90s with 2.02 60s.

the only thing different was the strut tower brace which i didnt think would help at all with 60s.

I ran tonight to try changing my shift point to 6250 from 6500. becuase looking at the older dyno thats where the power was dropping off a little. last dyno and tune the guy said 6500 but i dont know about that.

I was thinking the strut tower brace would hurt but then i thought maybe it helps with torq transfer a little.

do you think its the brace or the shift points.

My mph was also lower then normal at 110 so i know it wasnt just some new found power due to air or something.

Shift points are the cause.. The brace is doing nothing for front to rear torque or weight transfer, they are un-associated.
