You can never have too much cooling. I am most probably looking at going to FI on my daily-driven '17GT in the next 6 months or so. In prep for that I want to do mods that matter, like half shafts and cooling. The radiator seems like an easy kill to me. Is the PP radiator itself the only...

I went from the stock 265/35-20 squared to a 285/35-19 squared. Do I need an alignment? I do not have any pulling or other steering anomaly; I just want max life out of the tires. I do rotate them regularly; every time I change the oil, in fact. Thanks.

This is not a review thread; it is me sharing some pics and initial thoughts on my new EC-7s in 19x10 and Continental Extreme Contact Sport (ECS) tires in 285/35-19. As my car is 99% street driven I went with a square setup for rotatability. I purchased the wheels direct from Apex (thanks...

My tire/wheel setup will change the overall diameter of the wheel vs. stock. I want to recalibrate the speedo, which I can do with Ford Performance ProCal flash tool that came with my PP2. In the software there is a user-settable entry for Tire Revolutions Per Mile. The manufacturer states my...

Just curious if anyone puts anti-seize compound either on the lugs or the hub face? I was reading the owner's manual the other day for my 2014 F150 to see what the lug nut torque is (same 149 ft lbs, BTW) and in there it stated "Torque specification is for clean lugs, free of rust, properly...

Looking for recommendations for black lug nuts in the standard M14 x 1.5 size. Looking for lug nuts that take a standard socket. Specifically do NOT want any splined lug nuts that require a proprietary socket that's impossible to replace, to remove them. Related: This is the first time I've...

I know there's a ton of these threads but sifting through pages of them is difficult, so thanks in advance for your assistance. I currently have the stock 20x9 wheels with stock 265/35's tires. I am lowered 1". Looking at a squared 19x10 setup with 285/40's. Assuming the new wheels have the...

I am toying with the idea of going from a 20" wheel to a 19" wheel. A slightly taller sidewall should help with ride quality on the lousy roads that make up half my commute, without significantly affecting performance like a much taller sidewall would. A little side benefit is that 19" tires...

I have the optional 20" wheels on my '17 Prem Pkg GT. What is the wheel width? I think it's 9.0" but I don't want to guess as I"m buying new tires. I may go one size up, width-wise if it'll fit. 275's shouldn't rub, even if I'm lowered 1". Right? Thanks.

The factory Goodyear F1s on my '17GT are almost shot...probably 1/8" tread depth left. Been raining here a ton and I'm hydroplaning at anything above 45mph, so it's almost time for new tires. Looking for a summer tire. "Winter" down here isn't and the temp seldom drops below 40F. I'm going...

I have the FP PP2 on my GT. I accidentally tore the airbox weatherstrip foam piece in half. Dumb@ss that I am. :curse: You know, that large foam "sheet" that is removable? I need to buy a new one but it doesn't seem to be sold separately, unless I'm missing something. I literally duct-taped...

@MGW Really need some help, please. I'm installing (or trying to install) my MGW race spec that I've had sitting in my garage since May. Everything went well enough until I got to the linkage bolt. I cannot get the bolt that holds the shift linkage to come out. The bolt loosens, spins/rises...

Been thinking about doing the dual-black-stripe mod on my car for a long time. Pic of what I'm considering attached. I cannot install this myself...zero skills in that department. Assuming I bought the Ford Accessories kit (found it on Tasca for $288), what would a fair price for a reputable...

Been curious about this for a while now and am finally looking into it. I have the PP2. Been happy with it. But I want more. However, I don't want to sacrifice driveability, so no PP3/IM swap/E85. If I could afford a Whipple I wouldn't be posting this. ;) My thought process is this: I know...

I was looking for some exterior mods that weren't too over the top, expensive or hard to replace. I like the 70's muscle car look of rear window louvers, but not sure I like them on the S550. I'm not a big fan of stick-on doodads either. No disrespect to anyone....your car, your money, do...

This weekend I'll finally get my Brembo/rotors/stainless lines/pads swap done. What can I use to cap off the hard lines when I remove the brake hoses? I know I'm going to have to bleed the system, but I'd rather not loose half the fluid in the process. The car only has 9K miles on it, all...

I cannot for the life of me find this clip...wish I had a picture. In the passenger side, front wheel well on the S550, there's a small, square-ish opening where the swaybar comes through from the engine compartment into the wheelwell. At the top of that opening, the hard brake line for...

Sometimes my OCD is a good thing. Trying to get all the answers in advance for my Brembo brake upgrade which I'm hoping will happen this weekend. I'm going to pre-assemble the calipers, pads and stainless lines. As the calipers are new, the pistons in the calipers are fully pressed-in. So...

I've finally gotten 90% of the Steeda goodies installed. Did all the work myself and learned a whole lot about my S550 in the process. The car rides like a different car. Wheel hop is gone and the car puts the power down now like it's wearing slicks...though slicks, the Goodyear F1's are...

Been looking at the Stage 1 Whipple here: https://whipplesuperchargers.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=453 Don't see any installation instructions for download. Do you need to sign up for an account before they let you have access to them, or do you only get those if you buy...
