  1. 2016 GT 500 Fobra - Yay or Nay ?

    Thanks for that insight Dr. Phil. If I didnt care what yall thought I wouldnt have asked. I'm way past outside validation needs. Sounds like everyone likes the swap idea, but ditch the "ricer" re-badging. I can live with that. This is a hobby not an investment so "wasting" money for something...
  2. 2016 GT 500 Fobra - Yay or Nay ?

    So here is the math and reasoning as I see it from current situation and wants. 1. current car is paid for weekend fun car, 30,000 miles and still smells like new 2. half the fun of driving a car like this is having a 3rd pedal. It's just fun rowing gears. 3. It really bums me Ford never made a...
  3. 2016 GT 500 Fobra - Yay or Nay ?

    Sitting here with a paid off black 2016 GT Premium track pack that still has new car smell and was thinking of trading it in on a new GT500 when the new Predator crate engine got me thinking... Ford, for some ridiculous marketing reasons, never made a 2016 GT-500.... but what if they had...
  4. Oil consumption - Smoking exhaust

    It was warranty/dealer work. They're not going to screw with repairing the head when they can just order a whole new one and swap it out.
  5. Oil consumption - Smoking exhaust

    Had a bad valve seal on driver side cylinder head. Replaced head with new. Runs fine now. Took dealer a couple of weeks to get part in and do the work.
  6. Vibration between 50 & 70 mph

    Guys, installing the Steeda subframe alignment inserts, differential bushing inserts, subframe braces and lowering the car COMPLETELY eliminated my 50-65mph freeway vibration. It was always bad, from day one. Indexing the driveshaft helped a little, but installing these parts made the car butter...
  7. Enlarge strut tower opening for camber plate access?

    I wouldn't go that aggressive with it. Leave a little horizontal material on top, even if just an 1/8 to 1/4 inch.... just in case... Running same parts with same concerns, but I took it to a shop for the final alignment and they did charge me extra for the extra work.
  8. Enlarge strut tower opening for camber plate access?

    It "should" be ok. I cant imagine much if any kind of loads are being transmitted through that area.
  9. New Mag xl just arrived!

    About to do this install myself. Anyone know the ins and outs for the wiring and tune side of the swap ?

  11. 2016 GT full suspension bolt on project

    So after a week or so of driving around and playing with shock stiffness settings I'm pretty happy with the results. 1. NVH Noise - Road noise is definitely transmitted more through the car, but nothing that is annoying or not drowned out by the radio. I do have a slight gear whine coming from...
  12. KB 3.2l Palm beach tuned dyno#'s

    That's easy. There aren't any. :headbang:
  13. 2018+ GT Performance Package Level 1 Worth $4k?

    It's not just the parts with the PP package either. You get lots of electronic goodies as well.
  14. 2016 GT full suspension bolt on project

    Measured out at 2" drop in the front and 1" drop in the rear from the factory PP springs. Will probably raise the front up about 1/2". It's a little low for pulling in driveways and dodging potholes
  15. 2016 GT full suspension bolt on project

    Well, I have a ton of pics, but Photobucket is nuts for the $ they want now to host pics... Let me try and find a new hosting site 1. Steering response is twice as accurate. Very precise. 2. No noticeable NVH while driving. Only when driving over grooved bridge pavement, it transmits though the...
