Irrelevant to what he is implying. Even coming off a trans brake, the blower/turbo cars are load sensitive and build the power through the resistance... the suspension/drivetrain is already loaded in that instance. If you go WOT from idle or a roll the turbo/blower cars still have to build...

I ran a 305 DR for quite some time, had to get some 285s for a while since I had a cut in one DR and they were about toast anyways. I've never noticed the loose feeling, then again I lowered my car and added LCRs/panhard rod out back at the same time.

Ya'll guys have E85 available there??? That might be a better option.

... and it takes more ethanol to equate the energy output of gasoline. Hence the fuel economy drop off associated with E10 gas. From a pure octane perspective, there is no realistic difference. With a blend devised to mimick petro-gas octane ratings, the cooling properties of ethanol are...

Not really. Most modern fuel systems seem able to handle relatively high amounts of ethanol. Older cars... that's another topic. Why would it? 93 octane at the pump is 93 octane at the pump, regardless of how much ethanol is present.

No prob! Don't ask me anything else if it decides to spontaneously combust! LOL!

Even with my air off, I can still feel a pressure differential pushing through the defrost and floor vents. IMO, your evaporator was probably sweating or there was just residual moisture in the case. The hard pull on a static system created basically what amounts to fog (extremely hot coolant...

If the fear is so strong, replace the valve springs and keepers.

Perhaps your tune needs to be updated to use the larger L&M TB with your setup?

Not really... Maybe an hour if you have the chain tool.

The shop that put the FRPP cams in my 06 got my car at 930am, and had an hour's worth of tuning done by 5 that same afternoon. Any knowledgeable mod motor tech should be able to do the cams in 5-6 hours, taking their time.

...being an interference engine simply implies that the design of the valvetrain would allow for valve/piston contact should something (broken timing chain, timed incorrectly, etc) occur. Typically, notched pistons allow for some variance at higher RPMs due to valve float and the like. It is...

He will. :)

BTW did Tyler get in contact with you regarding the other board and the name change?? I asked him to give you a shout.

Butt-o-meter and dyno graphs don't mean shit. However, putting another 5+ cars on a vehicle I know the performance of and being able to compare it to a known quantity (my 06 GT) help. I have LCAs and DRs. After some seat time, if I don't tickle a high 11 @ 117-119 I'll be pissed.

LMAO! Nothing is wrong with my tune. AFRs 12.6-12.8, PCM not pulling any timing, and I have factory manifolds and a factory H-pipe. I've seen CAI/LT/full exhaust/tune cars making 405-415 all day long. The better question is how your car apparently gained almost 70rwhp from a tune and...

JLT, Magnaflow Competition exhaust (factory H pipe), BOSS 302 intake and a good 93 octane tune. 419.97/378.5 corrected thru a 305/35/18 drag radial.

Next time we have a DFWmustangs GTG I'll holler at you, the cruise is coming up soon as well... Saturday May 28 at Kennedale.

Got my intake installed and realized that the stock tube wasn't going to fit. Ugh. Had to make a special trip to Gearheads to pick up my JLT early. Drropped the car off yesterday for the tune. Thanks for the tips on the phone, Jarrod, the car ran fine on the drive to Travis' shop!

I know one of our local shops did an E85 conversion tune and gained 30 to the tire, all mods the same, just a lot more ignition timing and toying with the VVT.

Go fast? Whatchya get???

My hook up has his arrival date as being next week. Gotta look around ;)

I'm not. It's what it so be expected in a high-RPM application. I went ahead and did some math based on the dyno graphs... I stuck all of my pertinent info into an RPM/speed calculator... 3.73s, manual gear ratios for the MT82, 305/35/18 tire so that I could literally track down the exact RPM...

You're thinking of the Canadian site. Canned internet tunes will lack in the hands-on category. That's about it. They're going to be better than the box tune simply because the Bama tune (as an example) is going to have a lot more R&D than what SCT will provide. SCT still has to warranty...

Which local shop? <---- Bedford resident, Gearheads whore
