Yeah, I swapped the flange with diff still in car. I would buy a new nut though, it has some kind of locking or sealing compound on it.

I have a Timpte 718, similar to your Futura. The only extra thing I can offer is to disconnect the battery when not in use, unless you have a solar charger keeping it topped off. I learned the hard way that the wireless remote drains the battery, and it will be dead a couple months in storage.

Two important things you still need: Upgraded valve springs Boost controller with boost by gear

actually this is all you need. The speed and rpm calibration is not perfect, but it’s enough to get the gears identified. To test you can log gear, or get the cortex to show which gear you are in.

Looks like forum won't let me attached the file type. Send me an email address and I'll send to there.

Yeah, I have same transmission and rear gears. I’ll try attach the vehicle config file tonight.

Sure, would be happy to help. Do you have it wired in per the instructions here? https://sirhclabs.com/resources/cortex-ebc/user-manual/vehicle-specific/ford/cortex-ebc-15-17-mustang.pdf Then it needs to be powered before it can connect to your laptop.

I used this to convert the tremec 2 wire VSS signal to the 3 wire for the OEM harness. Works perfect after you change the VSS pulses per rev config. https://sirhclabs.com/product/cortex-ebc-speed-sensor-adapter/

Damn, glad you just needed stitches. Thanks for sharing, I will keep my visor down from now on.

Wow, I got to ask, were you driving a closed in car like a mustang or an open car like Miata, boxster. The HPDE place I go to all require driver and passenger windows to be open, so I guess something could fly in

That’s what I have, gen 2 heads with gen 2 crank and the GT500 block. Everything swapped over no problems. It’s the gen 3 heads that have DI, they will probably need the little dish in the piston to distribute the fuel spray properly

Might be a way to disable the factory safes but you’ll need something like HPTUNERS or Cobb for the eco boost. I’m not familiar with the eco tune, but the 5.0 has a few tables you can change to remove or reduce the effects of temperature in the tune.

I think the fans would only be helpful at slow speeds versus 80mph track speeds. I purchased the setrab installation bracket which came with rubber isolators. It felt pretty soft, like bicycle tube type rubber, with the cooler floating between two pieces. Easier way might be to buy an...

So I eventually gave up on the large oil cooler in front of the radiator and made brackets to hold 2 smaller coolers in front of each wheel. It was a lot of custom, measure plenty times type work, but the end results seem good. The air comes in through the spot light holes, and then I made a box...

Long time, hope to see you soon. Valero cnr 130 and 969 is my first choice Otherwise HEB off E 51st

I use 35 gallons of e85 per day at a track like COTA. That comes in as 16 gallons full tank plus 4 x 5 gallon and a 2.5 gallon back up. Then end of day I drive several miles to the nearest e85 station and do it all again.

The GT500 cam covers solved my oil breather issues at COTA. I also have the GT500 oil separator, so if you still have problems that might be next for you.

Haven’t checked it as carefully as that, just assembled it with the bell housing as it came. Hopefully not causing an issue for me. Haven’t run the pump yet, still trying to figure out where I want to mount it. Gear look straight. For duty cycle they want you to only run the pump under boost...

So I broke my magnum XL a few weeks ago, input shaft gear broke, was only putting out about 650 whp at the time, but was 30 min into a hard road course session. Apparently under hard acceleration like road course and half mile / mile events the oil sloshes to rear of transmission and the front...

Nothing new, just stay away from DSS junk and use quality stuff like QA1 if you don’t want vibration.
