A mapping change is coming for the Ford V8 Supercars engines this weekend. RepcoSC
Supercars is expected to green light another parity adjustment ahead of the Perth SuperSprint with updated mapping for the Ford V8 engine.Ford Performance has been lobbying for the change since before the Australian Grand Prix, based on concerns that the Ford unit is at a disparity to the Chevrolet V8.
Those concerns have centred on throttle response with the alleged performance disadvantage most notable from fourth gear onwards,Supercars is now set to give the green light for the mapping change, which will be applied to the 11 Mustangs in the field for this weekend's Perth SuperSprint.
The breathing will now be directed towards the back of the car rather than directly into the engine bay, as was the case until the AGP. Teams have also been allowed to add extra gusseting to the chassis clips to improve the repairability.
