Since Lidio drives, tunes, and races his own 5.0 S650 with a Whipple he has advanced well beyond "carbs and distributors".

Lidio at Alternative Auto is great. He tunes lots of cars, has experience with the Coyote, has his own with a Whipple.

In Boston it was declared "cruel and unusual punishment" to feed prisoners those "mud roaches"

That is something that someone created, there was never a "Shelby GT 350H" and there was never a Shelby-Hertz-Hurst collaboration either. The person who created it mixed up the "H" connections. Looks good though

When they were trimming the PPF they chipped the mirror cap itself, so it looked like damage on the edges as if something had hit the top of the mirror. I tried arguing with Ford about it with no luck - (even if something had hit the top of the mirror, how did it break the attachment of the...

That happened to my 2024. I was driving and caught the movement out of my peripheral vision when it dropped out of the driver mirror. Unfortunately Ford said that there was evidence of impact on the mirror (the guy who did the PPF did a horrible job and chipped the edge) so wouldn't cover it...

My wife is really upset, she loves her Lincolns but said that Lincoln has abandoned her. She doesn't want an SUV or truck and for some reason Lincoln has decided that they are a truck company now. So if she replaces her car she is forced to look at a Cadillac or and Audi. She would like to stay...

Good luck. I tried to run a turbo on my 2013 Mustang with the 3.7. After blowing up 3 times trying to tune it we gave up. Do not try to run more than about 8lbs of boost, it can't handle more than that. One blow up was an overboost situation (had a 7lb spring in the wastegate and was getting...

I had something similar happen to my SHO - got the new windshield on that one time, drove to a client meeting and got a half hour down the road and got hit by a stone breaking the new windshield.

My brother and I were coming home from a football game (we were working as "chain gang' at the high school games that our kids went to). I had my supercharged 2006 convertible and we were getting on the highway - it's a long bypass to get over to the highway and I hit it to hear the supercharger...

Term insurance has no residual cash value. You essentially are using the insurance to cover "what if I die during this time period, how will I provide for my family". But you aren't building anything in the policy like permanent insurance does; that's why term insurance is cheaper. There is...

The S197 V6's with superchargers for the most part would be a different engine - the 4.0 and not your 3.7. Very different engine. The 4.0 is a much stouter engine and will take a LOT of abuse. My 2006 I ran nitrous on for 2 years and then pulled that and supercharged it with 90,000 on it. It was...

As a Michigan fan I need to order a sticker for the car (yes there is really only one game we cared about this year):

My son-in-law is one of the engineers on the Hurricane (in-line twin turbo 6) for the Charger. He had one of the cars over on Thanksgiving, he's working on the tuning calibration right now. This was a 2 door, good looking car. He said it is the HO version, planned for 550 HP, but was quite a...

Is that garage door placed behind a storm door and windows?
