More surface contact=better grip=ability to use more available torque?
Not fussing here, just don't know and want to learn something.
Thanks!

Downside is you'll get more tire lean in the corners which will hurt your handling quite a bit.

It's a slight difference but you definitely feel it..
consequently (unlike above) the lower profile will also improve handling

now I thought I was covered by just saying GT500, but you're right anyone that owns a 13 GT500 is going to have to say it like that "it's a 13' GT500, sir" LOL

I've owned 4 mustangs....2 were V6's when I was in my late teens and early 20's. I understand the bug to mod your car with simple things like intake, tune, etc. I did it to my V6's.
But to suggest throwing a turbo (or twin turbo) set up on a V6 seems a little pointless to me (unless you are a company like AM building a project car). That $6,000 or so would be better off toward either paying off your car or a down payment on a GT.

Thanks for trying to help, you missed my attempt at humor here. I guess you read my reply and thought that I was (quoting Foghorn Leghorn) "about as sharp as a sack full of wet mice"
