  1. '20-'22 GT500 supercharger oil fill level (Raptor/GTD as well)

    For me it was the concern that if I did my original and then it got damaged in shipping I'd be up the proverbial creek. The last thing I checked before swapping blowers was the oil fill level. I used a zip tie by inserting it into the hole and then angling it downward. My replacement blower...
  2. Poll: Is a GT500 an upgrade over a GT350?

    This is 100% fact. I mean, just look at how many GTD owners got bored while behind the wheel, fell asleep, and died in a fiery crash. Makes you wonder how Dirk was able to stay awake when driving that sleep machine at the Ring. "Automatics." Lol.
  3. Poll: Is a GT500 an upgrade over a GT350?

    I've owned both. Tracked both. Modified both. Multiple 14 hr, straight through drives in both. Loved both. For me, I like to hang on to my vehicles for a while. I saw the service record data for the Ford Performance Driving School cars, both GT350 and GT500. The GT350 cars did not bode...
  4. Niche Line engine build plate removal

    That entered my mind but I haven't fished in about 40 years and have zero fishing equipment on hand. Same goes for any ninja neck strangling cable. :)
  5. Niche Line engine build plate removal

    Just trying to be productive while waiting for VMP to get going on an initial tune for me so today I tried removing the plate and transferring it to the VMP lid I intend to use. Didn't use a heat gun. Tried dental floss and quickly realized I was wasting my time. Then I tried a zip tie and it...
  6. '20-'22 GT500 supercharger oil fill level (Raptor/GTD as well)

    Hmm. Hard to say. I want to stay conservative throughout. If I get some 93 octane gas that isn't up to snuff, I don't want to have to be on pins and needles. Raptor R pulley may add a pound or so of boost. Ported blower, same or a little more as I'm also using a Kong 108mm TB. Not doing fuel...
  7. '20-'22 GT500 supercharger oil fill level (Raptor/GTD as well)

    Just a finally out of warranty "upgrade." Keeping it mild, no E85. I have most of the parts ready, just waiting on VMP to get moving, tune wise. For those contemplating something similar, or just wanting an extra supercharger, I picked mine up from "vroom juice" on eBay. He's selling all the...
  8. '20-'22 GT500 supercharger oil fill level (Raptor/GTD as well)

    So I had a Raptor R supercharger ported at Kong Performance for use on my '20 GT500. I tried to find specs on either unit and learned there is little to nothing out there. Eaton/Ford wants these serviced as an entire unit which is as wasteful as it gets. At least there are a few pulley options...
  9. Looking to buy stock GT 500 OEM cold air intake tube

    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!
  10. MGW shifter install

    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...
  11. Leaking DCT lines? Ford has a new solution...

    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...
  12. Leaking DCT lines? Ford has a new solution...

    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. :)
