It only overheated during hot afternoon HPDE sessions and I assume fans don't matter when I am running triple digit speeds. How will turning the fans on help?

Thai restaurant chef: hold my SangSom, let's see what I can do to mentor these rookies.

My son lives in the Minneapolis/St Paul area and told me once that he lived farther north than most Canadians. I couldn't imagine that and had to look at a map to confirm, but he's right.

Thanks for the healthy mixture of light-hearted smart-alec and informational replies! Ryan Martin is my tuner and he informed me that I still have the OEM heat protection settings with tunes, but did not offer if he knew the actual settings. I have overheated to limp mode twice, both during...

In the past I've overheated enough on the track a time or two during HPDE events to go into limp mode. I'm curious if anyone knows exactly what and when triggers the limp mode - is it CHT at a certain temperature (if so what temperature?), something else, or what?

Interesting upgrade, following!

If you want to feel really big, park yours next to a first gen Mustang. They look tiny compared to ours. If they downsized to first gen size again I'd be throwing money at the local Ford dealer as soon as their doors opened.

Good enough deal for me, I just ordered them.

Can't argue about the sound, I also almost bought the V8 on that basis alone. But about that weight: Maybe you can't tell the difference in handling on the track when 200lbs of weight is removed off the nose. But I can. A lot.

Thanks for the help!

I like to take my EcoBoost on HPDE events on road courses.. I spent money modifying it to have nearly Coyote hp but it is 200lbs lighter in the front end. On a road course, I love how it handles compared to a front-heavy GT. Plus it still gets over 30 mpg on the highway when I don't kick the...

What a change from the old days... I have a torsen and don't want a friction modifier in my gear oil, and all I can find now has it already mixed in with the gear oil. Who makes synthetic gear oil nowadays without the friction modifier already mixed in it?

Yes Motul DCTF. I originally went with the BG SynchroShift and it was a great imrovement, but it is expensive, so next time I decided on Motul DCTF. The Motul seems just as good and is less expensive, so that's what I stuck with. I change yearly because I occasionally track mine.

Like others, spreadsheet for everything I've done to it, and a physical folder in a file cabinet with paper receipts/etc

McLeod RST clutch. I'm sure it is a great clutch but my EcoBoost is primarily a daily driver and I couldn't get over the noise it made. And my wife hated it when she drove the car. I removed it and reinstalled a OEM clutch.
