LoL, sure - what naive take. They're not in the business of making best lugnuts, they're in the business of making money so they install cheapest acceptable (to them) product. And it works, people replacing them pay out of their own pockets and Ford increased their margins.
Many did - Ford packs are easy button mods with sort of a warranty but the tune that comes with them is pretty conservative.
There are countless aftermarket tuning options available as well as parts that can help with power gains - which availability in Kazakhstan is probably not very good...
That's ok - but I don't understand your question - if you want to do that, power pack 2 doesn't matter - you can get new tune from whoever you want and bolt on a bunch of parts that will allow you to go faster, including a supercharger.
Perfectly fine. They work great.
Those (and similar style made by AJ or J&M) are the lowest profile on the market if you have an issue with fit between strut and the bar.
Lowest hanging fruit - always the driver. Ride with others, go to events with good competition (not the Porsche ones).
Car mods don't ever bring the time improvements people think they do.
First thing I'd get some 18x11" from Apex and RZs and throw the Nittos very very far away. Bars are cheap...
Still doesn't make sense - -2.2 - -2.5 degrees rear is probably most I'd do for autocross.
For daily and street driving I'd just use OEM specs in the manual, whatever they are (pretty low numbers). Added bonus, any shop has access to them.
Strong move. The 678 Ford models (including six billion F-150s made to date) that use FL-500s give no guarantee that this filter will be available in the future.
Especially - one again resurrecting my 1965 story - that the A-code 302 in it uses FL-1A motorcraft filter available in every Walmart.
