Have run the shit out of my car over 7000. However, i have Boss Valve Spring, forged bottom end. Re- Balanced rotating assembly, block was deck plated and line bored. Over 500 rwhp at +7000 rpm. And makes 523@7700. Oil pump gear never went. And I agree wholeheartedly that it is harmonics that...

Good question. I blew mine out second day at the track.

Really like what you did. Love the aesthetic choices. That car is for fun.

Hello Terry and let me apologize if in the past I have offended you. The only thing I can say confidently is that the cortex torque arm changes the feel of the car and reduces nosedive and squat on acceleration. If a well sorted three link can do the same, I don't know. But in a street driven...

I have had several different Spring packages on the car searching for that perfect ride. with the Jri's at their highest ride height setting they are about an inch below stock. I get almost stock ride height by running 27.7 inch tall 275 40-19 tires in the front and 28 inch tall 285 40-19 tires...

KC. The big LS sway bar works great with LS springs of course. And here is where I reach my level of incompetence. Coilovers completely change the spring rate balance in the vehicle. And the philosophy of matching swaybars to spring rate and their consequent impact on handling dynamics is not...

I will soon do a build thread in a more appropriate forum. A real racer does not want to see the word dynamat. ;-)

KC, thank you. My build sheet is long. There is almost nothing stock left in the car. it's not even done yet as I will be adding an AP Radical complete brake kit. I have different parameters and goals then most the people in corner Carver's. Everyone here is expert on track adapted Mustangs...

KC, you Know how if you wake up one day and everybody's crazy and you're the only sane one, guess what? anyways I really regret all of it and let it stand as an example of how not to make a point. My understanding both from talking to Filip and also from reading about others running his...

I completely hear what you're saying and to some degree I felt the same way. I have wasted a lot of money on a lot of things. And it's not so much that I'm pushing cortex it's just that I don't go on here and disrespect other people's products, but believe me I could. The cortex rear end...

SoundguyDave, I think we have both said our piece. I stand by everything I said. As I am sure you do. When I first advocated the torque arm I acted like a Newb. And things devolved from there. I stand by the accuracy if what I said but I completely understand that I lack credibility. You dont...

You know Norm, I like you more than you think. And I would never pretend to have your knowledge regarding the Dynamics of these vehicles. And if I could turn back the clock with all you guys, I would. I do consider you a resource, and I want to give you credit for that. And I completely...

You know Norm, even a broken clock is right twice a day and maybe that's what happened with me.

First, I did not contact Filip for him to come here. He did that of his own accord. Now that this is an open forum, I believe someone else may have informed him or he came upon it on his own. But that is exactly why an open forum is good and a closed forum is bad. The closed forum has led to...

I am guilty of communicating the subjective improvements the Cortex Rear End provided. It is you who is quoting out of context what i said, because as you well know, I said a lot more than "supercharging the suspension" And I do stand by that incidentally, in that it has the comparable effect...
