I picked mine up by myself and put it on a engine a stand. I'd guess it weight is about the same as a C-4 or a bare/empty 302 block. 125lbs or so

Your current 11.03 would put you at the fastest manual trans ecoboost car currently. Nice.

Over 600whp? What's your track times/mph?

I used to miss 3rd all the time, at that time I was about 360whp. I installed a MGW shifter and all the shifting issues are gone

Are you sure Flat Foot Shifting is turned on on the tune? Mine wasn't and it made a huge difference in ET and MPH

Fast adjust method. In a safe location, Gently get into boost no more then 10 psig, cycle boost from 4 to 10 lbs several times, (slowly role into the throttle and back off slowly).

Sounds like a bunch of bench racing. You guys need to get your MT cars to the track. These cars are so hard to get to launch with good tires. We may see someone touch the hi 11's with a stock turbo MT, but it's not going to be a common thing. To get these cars to 60' it takes a good tire...

I've had gt pp 3.73 carrier in for 9 months

The more you drive it, the more you'll like them. To give you hope I just went 11.600 @ 122.81 with 3.73's and manual trans

Mine is very quiet, in fact smoother and quieter then the stock 3.55's with trac loc. I have craddle lockouts and vert. links.

Figured this is as good a spot as any. Over the weekend Josh Beasly went 11.53 @121 with a killer 1.61 60 ft. And I went 11.600 @122.81 with a sad 1.78 60 ft. Both stick cars!

PM me with a email and I'll send it to you

They look like a cup, they come in verious thickness. It's not an easy process to do. I have the proceedure but would not recommend anyone that is not a skilled mec. To do it. I've had to do it twice.

The 2.3 DOES NOT have lifters. Even if you call it a lifter it is solid and not Hydraulic. This engine has buckets. They can be purchased from Ford but you need to know what thickness you need. So what makes you think you have a bad one? Is it making noise? To change one is a major deal, you...

It's way cheaper to add rods/pistons before you hurt the engine. (I know from experience)
