New GT 03 Owner, Have a few q's

[SRMobile]

All I can say is wow! What a frigen machine man! I should have done this a long time ago!!


Just a few basic questions,

1. The engine is a 4.6L but how big is it in CI? Someone asked me the day I got it and I felt a little retarded.

2. What are the best shift points ?

3. What rear wheel drives more then the other ?

Yeah Im new.

Thanks in advance,

Congrats on the new purchase.

Shift point: 1500-2000 when I driving to the video store
CI: 281
Rear wheel: Posi on or off?

3. What rear wheel drives more then the other ?

When both tires have traction, they drive equally.

But the right rear tire has the tendancy to spin up before the left. WIth a Mustang's traction lok rear, both tires will try to spin with the same force but the right will always get a little extra torque

I shift mine right at the red-line when driving hard.

When your at the track then you probably want to shift around 5500.

1-in = 2.54-cm
1/2.54 = 0.394-in/cm
1-cc = 1-cm*1-cm*1-cm = 0.394-in*0.394-in*0.394-in = 0.0610-ci

1-cc = 0.0610-ci
4600cc = 280.7-ci

2. What are the best shift points ?

As 03gt said, for a stock or close to stock car 5500 seems about best. If you start modding and add a bit to the power band past 5500, you might consider moving the shift point closer to redline.

3. What rear wheel drives more then the other ?

The "Traction Lok" limited slip gives you equal driving force on both rear wheels in straight ahead driving. It is still possible to get a one-wheel peel going around a corner, depending on conditions
