Not bad for a self alignment, your numbers side to side were pretty close. I tried the string method but it doesnāt work very well since the front and rear track widths are different. I have yet to find a tech that is as OCD as me when doing alignments. I wish I had access to an alignment...
My ā19 Bullitt had 8 when I bought it. It was in the showroom, the dealership had me test drive a different Bullitt since they couldnāt get it out at the time.
A gen 3 shortblock will have a higher compression ratio than a gen 2. This needs to be accounted for in the tune. Also without direct injection there is reduced resistance to knock. Try less ignition timing or higher octane fuel.
If they do make a Boss in the S550 platform it should have what this chassis desperately needs, significant weight reduction. We have power, RPM, IRS, etc; the right elements are present but the 3800+lbs is ridiculous for a performance car. A lightweight Boss (3000-3200 lbs) with at least 500hp...
I would inspect the wheel bearing. If you can get someone to help, try having them shake the wheel like you did in the video. While they are doing that, inspect for where the noise is coming from. It definitely sounds like something is loose or has excessive play.
While I do eat in my car, I cringe whenever anything spills. I do thoroughly clean my car regularly so it doesnāt linger.
My problem is that good smells like interior detailer sprays last for less than a day while bad smells like food (with no spills) stay around for like a week.
You could swap in a 6R80 or 10R80 and use a stand alone controller like the ones on this website:

You would still need to figure something out with the stock gear position sensor though.
Alternatively you could buy a Mach 1 engine/trans harness...
I agree with the OP 100%. IMO black wheels became a thing when people started painting their base wheels in black to hide them. Then it became a ātrendā and itās everywhere. Ironically, my Bullitt has black wheels :crazy:
