I was hoping to scan and 3D print one that looked stock but fit the Kong TB. I gave up and bought the VMP intake. Thanks anyway!

It's not coming out of gear. When you blip the throttle like that you excite harmonics in the driveline and you are witnessing just that being carried all the way to the shifter knob. Your MGW shifter is a much tighter (tolerance wise) unit than factory with bushings that offer far less...

Nice work!

At SEMA in 2013, I saw Dev Saberwal at a booth for Ford Racing. He was a heck of a calibrator/engineer that I wanted to talk to forever. He was talking with Justin from VMP so I waited for the opportunity and when the door opened I got right into it. At the time everyone was waiting for a...

My good brochacho, until Oscar Goldman ships out my bionic leg/back, I'm kinda stuck. But I'm living vicariously at its finest through you guys. Probably a good thing I can't make it because if the engineer for the original trans line was there it would likely get heated in short order. :)

https://www.mcmaster.com/94036A112/ Since I've already gone overboard for a simple bolt I may as well finish.:) Since we're talking about a steel bolt going into an aluminum casting, the rule of thumb is that the length of thread engagement into the casting should be twice the diameter of the...

They come in packs of five. I only need two of whatever works best. The remainder are all yours my friend.

No biggie. Again, much respect for showing the work. There's function and there's looks. Nice to have both but in the end you can't argue with competitive advantage by successfully applying proven theory.

Props for delivering some bacon. Unexpected but welcome. Quick question...did they provide a reduction or an increase in buffeting with the windows down? From a structural standpoint, as I assume you'd prefer a mirror that doesn't shake at speed, did you analyze the moment that the lever arm...

You can't guarantee looks but hey, you did for drag. Let's see your data there as well as how much more "solid" of a mount this design is. I haven't seen physics defied yet but that doesn't mean you can't be the first.

The price we pay for good aero! Good time to clean out that tranny cooler too.

The fragile metal pins that start at the connector preclude me considering trying to butter up the plastic housing. The main pair of connectors you see inside are indeed fine. I'm just gonna keep it for the mechanicals, should I ever need anything.

KB...absolutely! See if your dealer will work with you on time. It is a rather simple install. I have a low rise lift and I see no issue doing it myself..

I purchased a takeoff Raptor supercharger and sent it to Kong for porting. The blower came with its respective throttle body but the electrical connector was smashed during shipping. The mechanicals are fine but you can't buy the electronics separately from Ford. So I had no issue popping the...

Didn't pop mine out to see. Should be a quick countersink and then they begin. I ordered some in 20 and 25mm just in case. These also have a bigger flanged head then stock. My original bolts had a 12.9mm diameter head and these are 14.2mm. The new, thicker tube flange also has a larger diameter...
