    Valvesprings/Valvetrain for extreme duty NA road course use:

    there's a shocking lack of information out there about the coyote valve train and its requirements to work reliably in a road course environment. So much so to the point where people either are willing to guess and try random parts (usually at their own peril with mixed results), or stick with...

    Timing area weird noise: (not the tick, not a rattle)

    New motor, now 500 miles into break in without significant issue (could use a neutral profile correction). However since I've had it running, there's been an odd noise, varying in volume with oil temperature and runtime coming from the timing cover area. It can be subtle to very loud (enough to...

    PCM/Cluster issues after teardown for racecar conversion

    Since converting my car to full race-tarded, I've ran into one major issue (long warning): I can't get the cluster to talk to the PCM and/or start the motor due to this issue. On power up of the car, all the relays audibly trigger and everything appears to be getting voltage (probed all the...

    Some cooling issues with my car (oil temps and odd pressure readings)

    (Warning in advance, rambling ahead) Background: Built a new coyote/roadrunner motor a while back. Went overboard on cooling and sensor package, and now have some weird symptoms that may be bad gauges or setup. Setup: MMR1000/Roadrunner (yes, get your pitchforks and torches), Fluidyne...

    Issue with Steeda X11 balljoints / SLA Boss Comp LCA's

    I have a koni strut coming out for replacement, and while I was inspecting the suspension before disassembly, I found a lot of play in the tire while in the air. I was able to move it laterally about 1/4", and I could see the strut move relative with the wheel. I did some poking around and...

    #15 Mustang resurrection thread

    Taking a note from Steve, lol. So if anyone remembers, a few weeks ago I was backed into, denting in the rear quarter panel (and just a few weeks after hitting some road debris that tore up my tiger hood). Fast forward a couple months (my guys don't work nearly as quickly as #21's team) The...

    Oil cooling Kit decisions

    So I have a pile of parts available to me to build an oil cooler kit. I have a core already mounted in my grille, -10AN lines but I'm stuck on some options: Option 1 (MMR kit) - Oil filter relocation (Think ford racing block adapter), remote filter mount Option 2 - oil sandwich filter, skip...

    Took some impromptu pics with a friend and the fauxboss (mild WW)

    Mods: please feel free to move/delete as necessary. I researched before posting, but didn't see a better section for the post or if anything mildly unsafe for work was restricted. While killing time for the Barret Jackson ticket prices to drop (they drop $20/head at 5) a friend/fellow...

    Put my car on the rollers

    Still not finalized on the tuning, but laid down what I feel are pretty strong numbers given I had put the exhaust basically back to stock. STD curve because I'm lame like that. The blue is my MMR 5.0 Coyote/Roadrunner thing, stock catback, closed boss sidepipes, stock TB, JLT cai and...

    Need help troubleshooting an engine issue: (vibration/miss at WOT, low rpm)

    I can't figure this one out. Since I last installed this motor (I've had it out once for rebuild, and once again after the build to adjust a number of things), I've had this weird vibration/hesitation/miss at WOT in higher gears at lower RPM ranges (anything sub 3000 and presumably higher...

    2 Issues: Oil leak and how to remove o2 sensors

    1st, the easy one (lol): what tool do you use to extract the front o2 sensors? I couldn't figure out a straight wrench combination that got the job done, the placement of the sensors makes it difficult to get enough torque to break them free without rounding edges, etc. 2nd: The back of my...

    TPS voltage issues

    I've searched, so I guess this isn't terribly common: My car just had an issue where it went into limp mode because it saw 0 on the TPS voltage, voltage had dropped on a wot run and zeroed out. After restarting the car, everything was fine, drove home without issue. I've cleaned and checked...

    WTT: My prized Magnaflow comp catback for your 11-12 GT500 mufflers/OTA pipes

    Trade their stock exhaust for my magnaflow competition 3" catback kit. I took the cats off my 5.0L car, and its far too raspy for me. Used to sound amazing. I'm hooked on the extra throttle response and power, so the consensus is that I need the catback from a 2011-2012 GT500 (the mufflers...

    Now catless, hate the exhaust note.

    On my new motor I've been pleased with everything but the sound. its raspy. Way raspy, so much so I just hate how the sound "trumpets". The setup is Magnaflow Competition Catback Boss302 midpipe (had to cork the sidepipes though) Jegs cat deletes factory manifolds 11.5:1 boss302 style motor...
