    Lost the 06

    Been gone a few months. spent a week in the hospital and a few in court. Got T boned at an intersection. Lito had worked his magic, I was driving to a meet..light turned green I began to cross when bam... Guy was drunk as p1ss. Car didn't make it. Still cranked, tough to kill a Ford. Not so...

    Let's talk heat extractors and IATs

    I am just overly leary of cutting my hood. It's been next to the bed since early August. Update, my little dryer duct dropped cruising temps 5 degrees at 60 Not much better below 50. But it's a step. So today was 93, my IATs cruising were 98 Without my tube 103 avg. I've always cleaned my...

    Let's talk heat extractors and IATs

    While I can't argue the wonders of a good fan/HE The base problem persists. I run hot as all get out as it is. I'm mock fitting my hose as we speak, it's hot out, perfect time to see any improvements

    Let's talk heat extractors and IATs

    I posted a while back about some hands on with a few blowers. While I made up my mind on said issue. There is a more immediate one that has kept me from going FI in any concern. Today is a prime example 0900 Weather channel said it was 72 Bank said 83 In car thermometer I added...

    Hot Rod Cams with no Tune...

    CAN you? Yes SHOULD you? Probably not. And a million +1s to contacting Lito

    Speechless!

    I'm going to get ahead of myself a bit. Lito just sent me the base files. The 86 pulls like my 91 tune. Air fuel is absurd. It's actually tolerable to stand behind the car. And the tweaked idle? I've never heard my car lope so hard. And low speed driveablility is night and day. It's not...

    Auto vs Manual WOT operation

    Reviving old thread. Just want to thank everyone for their input. It's just me being paranoid. You guys facts and sound reasoning helped calm me down and got me to quit stressing over non existent issues. So big props to all who took the time to answer my stupid question! I'm really digging...

    06 GT dyno

    Yes it's corrected. Uncorrected was 253 or something. I didn't pay much attention until the corrections finished. Local stock trans am Put 304/314 or so. So everyone seemed within range...but me.

    06 GT dyno

    Yeah it drives great. RTs, brand new 3.7s, stock ecoboosts. I hold quite well against quite a few "better cars" I'm running 13.9 here on crap sumitomos. Air density reads 7100-7300 depending on the day. But yes, I agree something is a little off. When a stock car busts me on torque and isn't...

    06 GT dyno

    275/40/18 I know gears and tires/wheels affect. But these aren't outrageously bigger tires. Like initial post stated. Not chasing numbers, But I looked bad compared to the stock 07. I only have common bolt ons, so never got a wideband. So I logged with my x4 Stft b2 Idle .94-1.04 min/max...

    06 GT dyno

    Howdy. So it was dyno day at the local tech school. And a few of us decided to go. They don't print, you just take a picture of the screen. It's a mustang dyno. They don't measure a/f ratios. And you only get one pull. I'll attach my screenshot. NOW I KNOW I LIVE UP IN THE DESERT WITH CRAP...

    Variable compression engine

    I don't recall the exact years. I just always dreaded seeing the word Fusion and warranty on the same RO. It was either the power steering or the doors. Sometimes I was really lucky...it was both Haha And I'm not going to start with module replacements across the whole lineup. Too many...

    who DD on drag setup?

    Not a full drag setup but for what it's worth. I've run Mickey Thompson's street radials on my 03. I got around 11k of worthwhile treadlife. I figure if I lived somewhere with better roads, I may have gotten more. Mind you I also put around 100 passes on them too back when I did such...

    Variable compression engine

    The big ones with the fusions were door locks, and the electronic power steering bolts. Tore so many door panels apart replacing them. Evap purge valve is a big one on most new Fords, as was swapping throttle bodies that were still nice and shiny. Actuators stuck a lot. But all mentioned was...

    Variable compression engine

    I agree wholeheartedly. Like I had said a few times. I put the owner first. Premium is about $.51 more than 86 here. A lot of people don't run it. The lines at the wal mart pumps are always packed seeing it's usually around $.10 less than average. The engines I saw come through...

    Auto vs Manual WOT operation

    My reverse actually started being ever so slightly stubborn first thing in the morning or after prolonged sitting. No actual issue with it, rather the shift lever seemed to fight me when going either into reverse or past it into drive. It gave me 154k trouble free miles. So I can't fault it...

    Auto vs Manual WOT operation

    Maybe it was my tune... Because 3rd won't reach the 120 zone. And if I smashed the pedal around 60...it wouldn't upshift. It never left 4th. A major reason I yanked it.

    Sorry about the double post... I need to quit playing on forums while on mobile

    Variable compression engine

    I could be wrong. So this is just one of those IIRC statements. I recall the issue was more along the lines of placement vs spray. When you have conventional spraying. Everything gets some, and burns. DI doesn't. While for economy and output it's a plus. You lose the inherit gas, and...

    Variable compression engine

    Again, this may be mostly lack of care rampant here. But yes. 2.0, 3.5, a few 2.3s. The F150s that I serviced were city, records showed timely maintenance, But at 110k, when the heads were off.....it was atrocious. The other ecoboosts I had to R&R were in the late 80 range. Valves...

    Auto vs Manual WOT operation

    The pucker moment is rain around here. Can't relax. Have to constantly scan all directions, someone's sliding around somewhere here.....

    Auto vs Manual WOT operation

    If I started running my "race" tune haha That would definitely add some pep. As for wet and slippery, isn't that what 2-3 starts are for? Haha Worked in Oregon.

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    Re glued my door panel insert. Hoping it holds more than a year this time. I don't want to go crazy with the adhesive...But I will

    2018 GT500 Twins?

    Hellaciously late to this party. But yes, and yes to the other political thread. Mags have been fudging numbers for years. Now we have YouTube channel reviews and such. Not whining, But a prime example. I watch a review, love the specs. Drop $30-40k Take it to the track (let's...
