Can someone move this to the WTB area?

Anyone have a Steeda Pentar 18x9.5" in chrome for sale?

I think they adjusted the pinion angle -2 degrees on my 2011 and its very smooth. About 140 I noticed it but its gone. Sifting improved too...very light.

Bigger radiator, electric water pump (if available) Ceramic coated long tubes, catless x pipe, Cowl or heat extractor hood, remove hood insulation lining, water methanol, higher octane fuel....some Old school hot rod tactics. Directing air flow would really help - look at those huge openings...

I have used Jet Hoy in past and it does help but the finish needs maintained or it looks bad quick on a daily driver (same for ceramic). See website for the details. Wrap is okay for a while but it won't look good long in an all weather daily driver.

I just noticed an email from Steeda about this. Firmware updates are important. Here is the generic email but links may not work - used my phone to copy and paste. SCT has released a new version of the X3 (PN: 3000) / SF3 (PN: 3015) device firmware - Version 1.2.142. This is a critical...

Deburring is standard build procedure, in particular anything aluminum, and let's hope Ford is doing this from the plant.

Didn't you go with a 9.5:1 Aluminator? If there's any difference in starters it may be torque for higher compression 11:1 motors but for you it may not matter if you went with lower compression. Maybe someone can chime in but I bet you get full life out of the starter.

If I hadn't bought a new F250 powerstroke I would already be done with the stang but work is more important!

FYI great thread man!

Indy...nationals right around corner so Force racing will give me a years worth of kicks in late August. I have headers and just removed the mufflers and resonators but that won't match the sound of just headers...that's pure race!!! Love it. Going to do an Aluminator swap myself over the...

I would like to hear the open headers in person. I love that sound at the track.

Funny stuff. Maybe some advice for a Ferrari F1 team but Ford isn't doing that. LOL I would be interested in seeing if the heads were checked for cracks. I am building up a collection parts to do a build myself and this had been a good thread. OP are you replacing the harmonic balancer...

The factory 8.8 is very strong but If your worried about strength This is for extreme duty, serious drag racing/competition level: Currie has an S197 direct fit 9" and uses factory brakes, requires center section, gears and assembly...

Thanks for the info and leg work. Looking to do the same here. I just purchased a rotating assembly and will be ordering a 2013 block soon. I plan on rebuilding the 11' later on, which works fine but it's not comforting to hear about these design changes and I want to run with boost at 16-18...

You may be right. I was just looking at KB kit that was 675HP at 8psi on EVO's website. I'm talkin engine crank HP not wheel power. Either way that is a lot of power for stock GT parts.

Wow. I think you guys found the limit for 11:1/10psi/93 octane on stock parts. I've seen similar happen to a set of forged pistons as well. Everything has a limit. I'm guessing you were close to 800 crank HP at 10 psi.

Yes - really need to see top of piston. Almost always. No damage to tops then maybe out of balance or too weak to handle 11:1 with 10psi.

The Boss engine has a different rotating assembly, piston coatings, cams, valvetrain, and the heads are CNC machined. The bearings are different as well and has tighter tolerances all around. Even the head bolts are different. Not so sure about the GT350 but if it is supercharged they may...

Here is some information on oil that should be considered. http://www.upmpg.com/tech_articles/motoroil_viscosity/

I like the throttle body. We have very similar mods I hit 418 SAE in mid summer and it jumped up in the fall when the car had more miles on it and we had better D/A. Same Dyno. At a local event on a different Dyno I was in the 430's and thats what made me realize Dyno numbers vary so much...

Yes I agree. Not to hijack a thread but I couldn't help but notice you purchased a Raptor. Will you be drag racing that? The 2013 computer looks nifty.

Your spot on for a daily driver or drag strip car, but If you actually track the car the bigger brakes cool better and fade less. You can upgArade the oem rears and use the factory caliper for less than 1k thru Steeda and some others. But with larger calipers and more pistons you also get a...

I agree nice write up. I've decided to replace the rods and pistons when I install the blower. This car is getting expensive. My father was right when he said I would pay for it twice LOL. He is exact words: Buy the Gt500 or a Vette.
