How did that correlate to misfires? Was compression low in certain cylinders?

Not sure if it's on backorder again but it was indeed "order able" at the parts counter.

I feel deprived of what I thought was going to a unique solution. Drats!

Never trickled?

Since I've had a couple people inquire, I did a quick video that I hope helps to visualize the new hardware on a GT500.

I saw your post on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1LvKBfT97q/ I've listened to that video a few times now and get nothing from it. If you think its a mechanical rattle or tick, go to Harbor Freight and by a cheap stethoscope and check any number of areas while somebody revs the engine.

I know you said under load but have you tried a stethoscope to see which bank it may be coming from?

Nice mod list. I assume you closed the gap on your plugs a hair (NGK's?). You open up the intake tract and run a larger, thinner lid, and you can pick up a bit of "mechanical" noise under load. I like it.

Nice! Mod list? On E85 or pump 93?

Can't speak to the tick noise but if your car was fine before it should be fine now. The only issues that would likely come from your install would be either a vacuum leak or an issue with the coolant if not filled properly. I smoke tested mine to be certain I had no vacuum leaks after a ported...

You don't have to touch the bypass valve in order to install a lid as it is bolted to the blower portion and not the lid. A lid such as VMP's will definitely exhibit a bit more engine noise. Are the fuel rail insulators in place?

In the middle of doing mine. Accessing the connections at the front are a bit of a bitch to put it lightly. I was told you could get at the fittings from the bottom but I could not, belly pan removed and all. I had to force my arm down from the top and feel my way through it. I'm interested...

I hear you there, I do. I keep a Wolfbox jump starter in my Bronco Raptor as a "just in case" and planned on getting one for the Mustang but haven't yet. Not gonna lie, I can't rid myself of the thought of a malfunction and the car going down in a blaze of glory. Have you used yours at all?

For decades I never trickle charged and never had a problem. But cars now are essentially alive to some degree, all the time! So it doesn't take long and before you know it and you're looking for your jumper cables.

100% correct! I would not change the durometer of the factory mount. If you feel the original one is worn, replace it with OEM. If carnage is what you seek, by all means, go rogue here.
