Some views of the install of the MMD Orange Fury (NL) painted hood vents. Car still in the garage from this weeks snow storm so best can do for finished look. No drilling required. These vents claim to help pull under heat out while in motion.

Just curious if the case where no "tick, then change the OPG and the "tick" came sometime after?
Wondering if aftermarket OPG is a factor in getting or not getting the tick. In other words, is the stock oil system a potential issue?

Now this could just be me but the instructions on the Tomahawk are not clear on how to perform the crank relearn. So this is how you do it.
1 - Make sure the car is fully warmed up. Has to be above 160deg.
1 - Follow step 10 in the Tomahawk manual. This takes to you the relearn function...
I just occurred to me that there is no manifold pressure transducer on the Whipple. So is anyone with a Whipple and 401a package actually getting the Vacuum Gauge to read manifold pressure? I realize the GT gauge does not have boost but I am looking to replace that with the Ecoboost gauge set...
This part was laying on the bottom pan and I found it when I dropped the pan.
I have no idea where it goes.
If you know where it should go please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Rob
Started the Stage 2 Whipple install. I will post some pictures as the install progresses.

Will update progress over the next few days.
As I put some more miles on the 2018 GT to determine if there are any issues with the engine or transmission, I am wanting to get prepared for the Whipple install. There's not a lot to do besides doing an inventory(done), gapping the plugs, getting space prepared and gathering tools. However...
In my 2018 GT PP1 I have a reasonably loud rattle, metal on metal sound, in the rear but only when the car is thoroughly warmed up. Like 30-45 minutes of constant driving. Once car cools down no rattle at all.
Not sure if related to mods but...
Mods are:
BMR IRS Lockout
BMR Rear Toe Ends...
While driving looked down and the speedo was displayed and working but the to the left of the speedo was blank with two green lines going through the top 1/3 of the cluster. Nothing worked other than the speedo. No buttons or any other input had an effect.
Pulled over and shut off the car...
Ordered Ford Racing Hood struts and black wheel lugs nuts. Got order status, tracking info, and two day delivery. Prices were the best I found for these items. Worked well for me. Would order from them again. I don't work for or know anyone there. Just a satisfied customer.
FWIW.

Curious as to where the last 2018 unit sequence numbers are(the last five digits of the VIN).
On the car I am ordering the number is: 83866
EDD is: 6/26/18.
Any after this?
TIA,
Rob
The order for a GT Premium coupe went in on 3/29/18. Apparently almost got bounced due to 401A option availability. However, as of yesterday I got a VIN.
So now the waiting game commences....

I ordered the 18 GT Premium with PP1 and Mageride but got notice from the dealer that the Mageride will not be availabe until 2019.
So what recommendations on suspension mods would be good to do?
Thanks in advance,
Rob
