Totally agreed, you would think for failure analysis and corrective action you would want the serial number on the gears. That way you're not counting on a customer retaining a random piece of paper for years to identify the production range with issues.
The way you've rated the kit is fine in my opinion. Honestly, this seems like a straw man you're arguing against.
This thread below is talking about the Procharger HO kit making 5.28 instead of 6.5 and there are no pitchforks from the crowd. The consensus is put a smaller pulley on and hold on...
Yeah exactly. In 2020 Ford switched to a heat range 7 plug and before that they used a heat range 6 plug.
If they were released with the 2018 CobraJet then they're probably 7s or what the engines are coming with now from the factory. But who knows because they didn't publish the heat range for...
That's weird, all I can think to recommend is aluminum brightener. I've used it on intake manifolds before and it did a good job at removing irregularities.
It looks like there is no NGK 6511, that part number links to a BP5ES plug that is totally different. I wasn't able to find a heat range 8 NGK plug with a tapered seat.
Does anyone know what the heat range is for the stock GT500 SP-581 Motorcraft plugs?
The Denso ITV24 plugs are an option...
Yeah if you can share the size of the intercooler clamps I'd appreciate it.
I was going to pick up black ones so they don't show up through the grille.
Thanks!
Thanks! I'll try the intercooler mounting the same way when my kit gets here.
@Brevin@ESS Do you have a list of the clamp sizes needed for installation of the G3 kit?
Thanks for the great tips in your post! So for the intercooler brackets you just reused the nuts from the PP1 braces to mount the intercooler behind the bumper mounts?
Also, looking at the ESS instructions it looks like the way they have the PCV configured pulls unmetered air into the intake...
I just assembled my Bilsteins with the same Steeda plates and mine looked the same. I assembled them with the washer the Bilsteins came with first and they looked the same as yours so I removed the washer and the nut is now even with the top of the strut.
After I install them in the car I'm...
In 2020 Ford changed the OEM spark plug in the 5.0 to one that is one heat range colder.
Trying those out may be worthwhile if you're experiencing pinging.
"In fact, there were fewer crashes and fatalities in convertibles. An analysis of crash fatality data of convertibles that were up to five years old during 2014-2018 showed that convertibles were involved in 6% fewer crashes per miles traveled and death rates were 11% lower than in conventional...
I was looking through the Reddit AMA with Nic Cage and saw this comment from him:
"I have a 2016 Shelby GT350R with a wide body that is like a modern version of the car I drove in Gone in 60 Seconds. It has a beautiful blue color. I like that car. And so does my son."
The rest of the AMA is...
