FYI......................... Got these parts delivered Thursday.........so I put her back in the air yesterday to swap out to the new bolts & washers w\ my 1\8" shims added so now trans flange is shimmed down a full 5\16" which put the U-joint operating angle in front DS section right at 1.0*...

Hi VBSTANG06, On the 05-09 S197's for sure, maybe 10 as well but not sure on this, there is no physical AAT sensor used. With these MY's the AAT is inferred from the MAF IAT readout using math in tune calibration\OS while the car is moving to prevent bad calcs from under hood heat soak while...

As best I can find........the 2 CV joints Ford uses are a Rzeppa derivative design called a Birfield design (most commonly used on trans-to-rear axle driveshafts due to improved strength vs an original Rzeppa).......the front CV joint is a 932-type plunging design (means that this joint will...

Congrats!! :happythumbs: How is she running now off fresh rebuild........................ If I can make a suggestion..........IMHO I think you should get\record a baseline actual operational EOP curve ASAP using the engine oil of your choice to have for future reference........if you...

FYI for those so interested........................... After running this setup for a while, it came to mind to whip out my angle finder & physically check the actual operating angle of the front U-joint DS section since installation of this JXBPerformance S197 Center Carrier Assembly using...

Now y'all can understand why I said that after this mod the 2-piece DS now has the connectiveness of a 1-piece DS........by tightening up the lateral side to side & vertical up\down flexing inside of the front CV joint from the center carrier moving about & maintaining the axial (or rotational...

You're correct.....................if you also remove the midpipe. I tried to cut these tack welds initially........the 2 facing towards the rear I could get to, but the 2 facing over the midpipe, there just wasn't enough room to safely maneuver a 4" handheld grinder w\ disc & reach these 2 tack...

Ok, the verdict is..........fact check-TRUE! This S197 center carrier bearing assembly setup does exactly everything the folks at JXBPerformance said it would do to the letter........ The Track version durometer bushings are very stout when fully compressed into assembly........I could only...

Came in yesterday thru UPS so a day earlier than expected........................... The easy part is done...........now the work begins.......... After checking the 2 choices of rubber isolators (Street or Track), I'm gonna install\go w\ the Track set as they're the firmest durometer version...

FYI.................. Got an email from JXBPerformance this morning that this part has shipped so I'll be expecting this to arrive by UPS on 4-24-24 (according to the UPS shipping manifest JXBPerformance sent). We'll find out soon.

Thanks for posting this...................have also ordered 1 myself w\ both sets of durometer inserts to see which set I'll like installed. FYI..............I contacted JXBPerformance as to why w\ the 10-14 S197's you reuse the OEM spacers but w\ the 05-09 S197's you don't........was informed...

FYI................................... Please refer to pg 1, post #17 in this thread then watch this YouTube video I just put together to go along w\ this: After this I'll digress from any further conversations concerning off idle, low RPM TQ loss using a WOT dyno sheet evaluating a Ford 4.6L...

Ok then that makes sense..........so it would seem that these Ford Hot Rod cams are a very popular cam choice for these 4.6L V8's in Germany thus exist in enough volume to have a lower price as well as availability. I can relate to how you feel..........................

Here is a YouTube video of this guy's 2005 GT street\race car fitted w\ an OEM SBE 4.6L 3V V8 running a set of these FRPP Hot Rod cams w\ the usual complement of engine mods (CAI, mildly port-matched OEM IM w\ CMCV's removed, LTH's & matching midpipe thru a set of Pypes M80 mid mounted...

GriffX, that would be hard for me to say w\ any integrity...........will greatly depend on the tuner doing the tuning......... From what I'm seeing\learning from my own tuning.......it is very possible to get these FRPP Hot Rod cams to behave nice at low RPM operations, but if you really want...
