I would keep the factory coils on. Factory coils nowadays are very capable for the use you need. I've had good use with MSD products on carb/distributor engines, but for coil packs its hard to go against the modern factory coils, unless it is a dedicated track car.

I enjoyed reading your dissection of the comments made by the King of the Jungle. I have gotten to the point every time I see a post from The Lion I just by-pass. The same things he posts is posted repeatedly from post to post. The problem that is going to occur with your dissection is...

I don't mean 99% as in a literal number, but what I mean is that almost every single failure reported is on #3. I just saw that a member recently appears to have had one fail on #2, but he was also getting misfire codes on #2 and having some issues. This makes only two that I've seen or have...

Juben, it makes sense what you have stated. One of my hobbies is antique tractors since I grew up on a farm. I got to thinking back on the balance shaft issue and remembering an issue associated with a tractor that was introduced in 1960, a 3010 John Deere, by the way I am not that old. I...

You are correct on the balance shaft issue with the #3 rod. This was the point of breakage on the engine I had. The mechanic at the dealer did tell me it looked very strange when he pulled the pan off the engine that the studs were pulled out of the balance shaft assembly.

Wow! I have a manuel transmission but I occasionally experience what as I would describe as a "wobble" while sitting at a stop light. I never thought much of it. Were there any additional symptoms you experienced? Anything I can recommend to be inspected? I really started noticing my issue...

Nice hooking on those tires, those are really strong times.

Possible issues with the turbo - A ticking noise on start up. The tech said that he has not heard this sound on any other Ecoboost Mustang. Like I said, I did not notice this myself. But after I was informed, I popped the hood and started the car. Sure enough, there was a ticking noise coming...

He posted some pics on another thread, he is part of the club!

You are correct, I have data logs, I should look at these, never have paid much attention to that for temps just sending back to my tuner.

I am not trying to get either of you guys upset, my readings are consistent with the guy starting the thread. I still have my stock IC and the temps are usually at most 10 degrees higher normally 4 to 5. I have eliminated the shutters and drive majority interstate. The only times I have seen...

I noticed it on the driver's side below the catch can, I thought it might be noise from the PCV. It was not overly loud just enough that I could hear it with the window down while leaving work each day when pulling out onto the road, it would clear up within a minute after warming up. I never...

I really think mine was doomed from the beginning, I don't think it was the tune, it just never idled correctly before the tune or while the tune was on it. The only give away was a slight tick on the bottom end when cold. It started a couple thousand miles before mine let go. The new...

Did you have any notice when the motor let go, I didn't on mine, I was getting up to speed on a highway. I wasn't even in the throttle hard.

I got a laugh with the meth comment, it made me think of one that happened to me when I was in high school in the late 80's, we had a guy move in from a large city up north to my small town in Alabama. Back then the only drugs that I had been exposed to at the time was marijuana, exotics were in...

Really good write up, glad to see and hear how these cars do on a road course. The speed sounds good, was there other cars you could compare with that were running. If it is OK to ask, what type of price range for the track time.

Hey there Dirty, hope you are able to get your car fixed soon, I was seeing temps get near that sitting in traffic for over a couple of minutes so I pulled the whole shutter system out and temps dropped significantly to the normal 185 and will creep up to the high 190's sitting in traffic now...

Phil, not to alarm, does the engine idle rough/slight vibration when you come to a stop in traffic. I have posted a thread about my engine letting go a few months back, I also had a tick on cold starts and cleared up in a couple of minutes of driving, this went on for a few months beforehand...

:thumbsup:

I thought the same, mine is 400 per tank also with the same type driving.
