  1. Bored of my GT

    But then you'd be in a Tesla and you could only get your coffee in soy form.
  2. Bored of my GT

    No, he's exaggerating. You'll still be faster than 90% of vehicles on the road. "Slow" is relative. Once you've gotten into sub-9 second cars, blown Stangs (or blown anything) will feel "slow" because everything feels slow compared to a race car.
  3. How safe is it being supercharged?

    Yea, I definitely don't baby the car. I drive her hard 75% of the time because I live out in the country and mostly just have myself and deer to worry about. Lots of open road and nothing else for miles.
  4. How safe is it being supercharged?

    I was a little north of 700+, all stock internals, Lund tuned. I drove it hard. One day I punched it from a stop sign on a back road, and I blew a piston ring somewhere in the upper RPMs. Changed out the pistons with some aftermarkets designed for high HP and have been rocking hard for 3 years now.
  5. Best Exhasut for Crackle on decel or down shift

    If you have Active Exhaust, delete the resonator, install an H or X-pipe and drive around in Track Mode. That's literally all you have to do. You don't need a tune or any fancy exhaust set up. You will hear LOTS of burbles on deceleration.
  6. How safe is it being supercharged?

    Very safe if you have supporting mods. If you don't, it's probably just a matter of time until you blow something. The stock Coyote is very resilient, but it's designed for stock power. When you start pushing several hundred horsepower and high psi boost, you'll find a weak point before too...
  7. Lost for words

    Wrong. News articles have been piling up over the last few years of activist district attorneys choosing to not bring charges against people who then go on to committ more crimes.
  8. Do I need headers

    I would have never gotten headers with this setup, but it only took 3 months for me to burn out the stock cats. Rather than risk it happening again I just went ahead and ordered headers. It's loud as shit now, but 🤷‍♂️
  9. Cylinder Head Temps

    I have a Stage 2 Procharger with the PP1 radiator, and my cylinder heads regularly hover around 220° when I drive hard, but I am in Louisiana where it's extremely hot and humid. It only takes a few hard pulls to hit 230°. I've always wanted to run cooler but I'm not sure what else I can do...
  10. Maybe it’s just me?

    I really don't mind the exterior, but I can't stand the interior and those obnoxious screens. Those alone are why I will not be upgrading.
  11. So..whats the general consensus/value of s550 after s650 release?

    Your small sample size of a community of affluent kids driving around in expensive vehicles their rich Daddy's bought them is not the norm in America. It may be true in your area, but 90% of American's are not driving Range Rovers and BMW's, and certainly not buying them for their kids.
  12. What things are likely to "blow" when supercharged?

    I started with a Lund-tuned Stage II Procharger and stock everything else. Within 3 months I had burned up the stock cats and blew a ring. Now I have catless headers and forged pistons and haven't had an issue for at least 2 years.
  13. Why is the Shelby Super Snake so expensive?

    Yea, shouldn't be that expensive unless they're supercharged and have additional suspension work and usually signature leather seats, at least that's what I remember them having for that price point.
  14. X or H pipe???

    Quiet Mode will still be quiet with an H-pipe. Just don't do what I did and get headers on top of it... Quiet Mode with headers and an H-pipe will be more like Normal Mode. :lipssealed:
