Variable RPMs under 100 miles, yes. Just a bit more aggressive with the RPM ranges. This is probably not for everyone and I am sure there are plenty of opinions against it (waiting longer or going to redline in the first 20 miles), but it has worked on every modular motor I have owned since...
Earlier. :) I did a proper ring break-in procedure at a 100 miles on both of mine and then tracked them at 250 miles, never burnt a drop of oil and on my '16, not a single issue after 8K miles, about 2500 on track. The '18, well, we will find out over the next few months, but looking good so far.
I love the color. I did not like it in pics, but saw it on a '18 GT and then had to have an R with it, but no stripes. I was debating the black roof, but decided against it. I might wrap it just to see if it works or not. I have a Deep Impact Blue '16 GT350 TRP and the contrast between...
I have my first track event with it next weekend, so I will have additional mileage with it plus a straight up compare to the GT350 after driving the same track a month ago. Right now, after a few hundred miles, the best way I can describe it is the PP2 is a very sharp knife when it comes to...
Nothing against JLT as I use them on my other Cobras, but same day dyno at the tuner and the JLT netted 2HP gain on the top end, but under the curve the stock CAI was slightly better. The intake temps on my dyno day were about equal unlike others. I considered it a complete wash and kept the...
There was absolutely no reason to make a shift where he did on that track. You go from 4th to 3rd before entering turn 2 on this car. And no reason to go into 5th down the straight. By the time you get to that point you are setting up for turn 1 and just go across the apron at full speed...
I know. :D But, I needed to step up to a better pad and if they last 30% longer as I have heard they should, then not a complete money pit. So far, they are in much better condition after two events than the stocks were at the same tracks in the fall.
I run the Pagid RSL-29, very good initial bite, excellent modulation and so far wearing much better than the stock pads, which are actually a really good pad except for wear and fading after long track sessions. Friction level is medium, but still better than stock as is fade resistance at the...
Were you in track mode or sport mode? I had a senior moment at my last event and forgot to toggle fully into track mode and ended up in sport mode on the paddock. On the second lap after everything was up to temp, the car fell off at 7500 rpm on the first straight and then I remembered to flip...
The re-calibration is not needed. This is based on (7) track events with the R-springs installed and with a Ford Engineer attending an early event at TWS.
i ran my first track event with this car on the stock fluid. It held up well, but was a little discolored. That said, I moved to Castrol SRF as that is what I have run in all my cars the past few years. It costs more, but you will change fluids a lot less than the stock stuff, especially in...
I would not drive well worn Cup2's in constant showers or through standing water unless you like the thrill of increased insurance rates and turning your car into a metal scuplture. :D That said, I have driven a new set in heavy rains here without an issue in weather mode and keeping a keen eye...
I would have dropped the FTBR Knuckle Spherical Bearing assemblies if forced to pick an item. I stayed away from the two biggest NVH causing kits, the FRPP differential and subframe mount kits. The subframe kit was recommended by several different track rats, but with a warning about...
I agree, I had an R on order, waited forever for it and then the dealer sold it out from underneath me. A dealer I have countless cars from for the last 26 years. So I found a Track Pack in the color I really wanted and am so happy I did it that way now.
I am going to wait on the new...
