Has anyone seen a picture of the 4-link suspension in these cars? It's an S550 chassis but no IRS. According to the Ford Racing website: https://performanceparts.ford.com/cobra-jet/

Does anyone know the preload torque measurement range for a pinion with the carrier/ring gear assembly installed?
I'm swapping my diff this weekend but need to change the pinion flange from a manual to Automatic. I measured the preload on the assembly straight from Ford Performance and its...
So took a trip up to Northstar Dragway in Denton to test out my new Baer drag brakes. I only got one good pass before all hell broke loose. On my second pass, car hooked insanely hard then around the end of the 60 it sounded like Id broken the driveshaft.
Got towed home and put up the car...
Just finished the install on my car. I used Goodridge Stainless steel brake lines. Overall, pretty straight forward job. I had a Capri Vacuum Bleeder which made the job much easier.
The weight/size difference on the front was significant. I can see how these save a 100lbs between the front &...
I got a great deal from Don Wood Ford on a set of FRPP Axles for $1569 out the door. They're rated to 1500HP and look great! These guys are the cheapest for Ford Racing parts.Don Wood Ford

I installed the enthusiast version of the kit with the differential inserts. I did not install the lower control spherical bushings as I'll do that when I swap my axles. Went with the street bushings on the diff. Zero NVH. Car hits the tires much harder now. Never realized how much those rubber...
Haven't seen him around here for almost a year. Does he still have Comp Orange 2015 with the whipple? I know he worked with the Whipple guys on the initial tune. I think he eventually got a 10.1 out of the car on the whipple tune.

I initially thought I'd be able to simply unbolt the Gen 2 head unit and swap it. Unfortunately, it appears due to many heat cycles, my front accessory plate had shifted enough to prevent the new head unit from seating square so all bolts would go in.
I ended up removing the serpentine belt...
Ordered mine from Lethal on Feb 29th. Two weeks later I haven't seen a status change or have an idea when it will ship. I was told 10-14 days to ship.
What was everyone else's experience?
Thanks,
Tony
