Ive set PB’s at Spa, Road America and Indy but like I said I would like to see someone capable of Top 500 times to see what it really has and as usual all constructive criticism is not only welcome but appreciated

Looks good.

I’ll try it for you when I have finished work and let you know what I think.

I tried this road America east got 1.04.5 with yours
Handles quite nice but i could not keep up with a porsche i was chasing so i decided it needed more power.

I changed the build got 1.03.2 #495 on the leaderboard and replay is shared

i went to a stock transmission. Removed the restrictor plate(1st one). Added a street driveline. Changed the type widths to 265s front and 315s rear.

All i changed in the tune was type pressure to 26/26
And decell on the diff to 10

Its a little harder to drive and you have to brake sooner but it handles around the same with an added speed bonus

if you find it a little difficult turn down the accel setting on the diff and slowly reduce rear arb to suit you

I will take a look at as soon as my Xbox updates.

What’s the update for the xb1 for. It took ages for mine to complete

IDk wondering that same thing.

I change a couple of the settings and ran 103.289 with your build.

If your happy with your build jay just follow akra1’s settings. He’s running same lap as me on a power track with a grip build. Besides the changes i made, made it harder to drive and would have made it slower on grip tracks.

It may be a good idea to change the race transmission though as your losing lots of pi you could possibly use to make it lighter. Faster acceleration and better handling

I rebuilt the cars for this track and came up with similar build as you, and run about 102.3xx.

Maybe down grade to a sports trans and put rims on its

Good advice

thanks guys. i’m trying to get rid of old tuning habits and for me, this is helping the most. i will try both set ups but doubting i see your times. i have a tendency to be inconsistent. i got to have a good tune before i can work on the driving part though.

And, thanks for the add Toffo. Now I have a ghost to chase and see where it is I’m losing so much time. My best time is up on the leaderboard and like I figured 3+ seconds slower than both you guys. But, my best time was with my tune/build except the front sway bar which i bumped up to 12. I guess thats where driver preference starts showing. Also, I kept the race tranny and the biggest reason for this was how far the RPM’s fell in 3rd thru 5th with the sport trans. And, I also realize that way better tuners than me all shy away from the race trans but I still can’t help think that the extra gear and the ability to tune each gear as to not have the engine fall too far below it’s power band is, at least in some cars, worth the 3 PI it costs to use it. But, I’m basically the student here, and any pointers and your time spent is very much appreciated. I never got online and raced with FM2 and didn’t with FM3 until right before 4 came out and I wanted to try and figure the whole build/tune thing out myself which obviously didn’t work out the way i had hoped. And don’t worry, I won’t be pestering people into driving every car I build. I still want to find my own unique way of building cars but like i said before I appreciate y’alls time and opinions

You should be able to get within 1 second of that time i posted its quite an easy track.

I’ll try set a replay on a more technical track for you with your tune if you wish.

Im dirty(lobby) at both le mans if you would like me to set a time there?

Its a waste of pi the race transmission on this car. the muscle cars are best low revs. it may sound or feel your going slower with around 3-4 rpm but this is when the cars are at they best.

I dont know how i missed this muscle open tune but when i get home i will post mine… if i remeber correctly it is a nasty animal. My b class setup was a rocket so i brought it up to A class and it didnt dissapoint. Most of my A class muscle with the 5.9 has the stock transmission as well but not sure on this one since im not looking at it.

good to have someone else’s input and a guy who is more experienced than most with the muscle.

Quick update…

Ur build tune ran a 1.03.699 on ra east

Changed build to something i would run left tune exactly the way it was ran a 1.02.897

Simple changes were stock trans down 1 on front tire and down one cage.

Up 1 motor upgrade

Personally this car doesnt have the umph for that track so i will drive it at a different one real quick

2nd update this time at spa

Your build tune 2.25.973

My build your tune 2.24.534.

Tune that build and be prepared to hit some personal best times with this car. I will comeback to this in a couple of days and post my tune up but I know you like to do things on your own. Enjoy :slight_smile:

I do but, looking at the open source tunes is also helpful. My tunes are improving and thats from checking out other peoples tunes, getting feedback on what i need to do differently and hours and i ain’t kidding…hours of tuning. My stats:
TIME DRIVEN 40H 11:36
TIME TEST DRIVING 219h 47:22
TIME UPGRADING 37h 25:17
TIME TUNING 47H 56:06

You do have to keep in mind though that for the first 2 months I had the game I couldn’t get into the lobbys because of technical difficulties
