Clatskanie Resident here. I'm interested and can help with road choices for bypassing Portland and getting to Clatskanie. There is also a ferry that crosses the Columbia in Westport Oregon that would bypass longview if you were thinking of taking the coastal route to Raymond
Strictly speaking form a physics and heat transfer aspect I would do post intercooler. The latent heat of evaporation of the water/meth will remove a fixed amount of heat from the charge based on the amount of water/meth you inject assuming that all of it fully evaporate. If all ambient air...
The only reason I even started considering a Mustang (other than an 80's SVO) is because they made it turbo again.
I test drove an EB PP and GT PP back to back cause the dealer couldn't find the keys to the EB when I fist walked in and asked if I wanted to drive anything else while they found...
My car was ready on the 26th of December but due to vacation and snow/freezing rain I had to wait until last Wednesday to pick it up. It was a long and frustrating wait but it was worth it.
BOV's open when the throttle is closed to prevent the tubro from spinning too fast without anywhere for the air to go which can damage the turbocharger.They are not intended to prevent lean mixture but can affect the A/F ratio especially if located after the air meter.

Just got word from my dealer saying they have the parts on order and that they think it will be ready early next week. Lets hope this is the end of everyone's wait.
The best info I have been able to find has been on safecar.gov Click on the links for associated documents. Not a whole lot more info than what everyone has been hearing from the dealers...
Yeah we should start a registry and/or support group. I wonder how many of the 1900 were customer orders and not just dealer inventory? The few of us waiting on our orders are probably not even a very big blip on Fords radar and they are just focusing on keeping the lines moving and the lots...
While the principle of tire pressure increasing with temperature is correct you are slightly off on the Physics behind it unless you have liquid water in your tires and are exceeding the boiling point. Liquid water is non compressible but water vapor found in air is compressible. Each different...
Not sure why you are saying Oregon follows California emissions standards. Other than Portland and a few other cities there are no emissions checks in Oregon.
