  1. ZL1 ADD ons

    Fun fact about the BBB, they're funded by the companies that appear on their site as "accredited." It's essentially a racket and BBB does not exist to serve your (the customer's) interests. You'll have a bit more impact leaving them a review they can't take down, like on Google or Facebook...
  2. Correct your speedometer error - no flash or tune required

    You've got the best adapter available IMO. It's possible the PCM relearn isn't available through FORscan on your model year yet. Anyone else with a 2021, feel free to chime in.
  3. Pulling the Exhaust Valve Fuse - Works perfect!

    So on this subject, there was a TSB 18-2290 that listed among the remedies "Reprogram the PCM using the latest version of the appropriate Ford diagnostic scan tool." Apparently, all you need to do to get this PCM update (usually) is complain to your dealer about the valves sticking and locking...
  4. Getting Tired - Spare Me

    It shows it as not being compatible with the GT either. It's on the eBay seller to ensure that tool works properly, and it looks like they haven't done it. There's nothing special about Mach brakes vs PP1/PP2 brakes, other than color.
  5. For a daily driver with plans to track it, GT350 or GT?

    I've owned both. The GT is a better daily and the GT350 is a better backroad bruiser and track car. I didn't daily either though. Track use is hard on cars. I would not put my only mode of transportation around a track. I spent quite a lot of time without any fun car at all, so I could own...
  6. How often does your GT 350 see redline?

    I assume you mean shorter gearing. I have to disagree with that. The gearing in the GT350 works well for road course use, which is what the GT350 was born to do. 6th is kind of dumb, yes. The GT350 doesn't have a 6th, it has a 7th. 6th is out to lunch.
  7. How often does your GT 350 see redline?

    Let me put this another way that will make things clear: drop the 6200 RPM Hellcat motor into the GT350, and the car would only be able to do 39 or 40mph in first (depending on which tire size.) That's pretty average as far as sports cars go and it's what makes the GT350 feel so normal in...
  8. How often does your GT 350 see redline?

    Here's the difference though, the GT350 is getting to 53mph in first gear using revs. It's really not that much different from a Performance Pack GT in terms of gearing. Pretty normal stuff. The Hellcat manual is getting to 60mph in first gear using TALL gearing. I have a lot of seat time in...
  9. How often does your GT 350 see redline?

    I think it's 53mph actually. There are tracks where you need to downshift to first. Turn 18 at OIR, for instance: There are quite a few higher-horsepower, high-revving, and/or track-oriented cars that have a loooong first gear. A manual Challenger Hellcat will get to 60mph in first. It's...
  10. How often does your GT 350 see redline?

    I'm going to tell you what I told the guy who told me to shift at 7k at the track. Life is way to f--king short to own a voodoo and NOT shift at 8000.
  11. How often does your GT 350 see redline?

    The car doesn't have to be in any particular mode. When you hear others speak of "track" mode for the shift light, that's a mode/setting just for the shift light that's independent of the car's mode. It controls the pattern for the shift light. I believe the modes for the shift light are off...
  12. How often does your GT 350 see redline?

    In the GT350 owner's supplement, it states that "redline is limited to 8000 RPM until the engine oil temperature exceeds 190°F" - so I always wait until my oil temp hits 190 before doing any hooligan things in general, including hitting/exceeding 8000. That's just way too low. These cars are...
  13. Billetworkz shift knob for Mach 1

    That looks sick!
  14. Billetworkz shift knob for Mach 1

    I'll be damned. With this car being such a parts bin special, you'd think it would be easier to contract out a new knob in M10x1.25 than make a new shift lever in M12x1.25. Especially since Ford Performance already had GT350 cue ball knobs in M10x1.25 that would just need a simple engraving...
  15. Billetworkz shift knob for Mach 1

    I'll believe it when someone actually measures it, because it would be an expensive thing for Ford to do to make a new shift lever for the Mach 1 when they could have just used the extant GT350 one out of the bin. The forthcoming TR-3160 Gen 2 shifter from @MGW is the same for both Mach 1 and...
