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.

Bip, bip, bip... I always connect negative to a ground on the chassis EXCEPT for that photo. I had just finished my ported blower install and was reconnecting the STB so I quickly connected to battery ground. It does not normally reside there but you caught me in the in between world.

For those here that haven't died yet or gone back to living under a rock, I'm curious as to how many of you are still on your original battery. I'm still using mine. I picked up my factory ordered 5hundo on January 11th, 2020. Battery was stamped on 6/11/19. Car is always being trickled and...

I have noticed over time that Ford does that with the images they sometimes post up for a given part. There may be a reason for it, dunno, but I find it extremely annoying for the reason you state.

I wondered the same.

100% yes.

Love 'em T!
