It's looking like Blackbird right now. Fat Fab is out of their mind for the price and Hellion is charging 6-8k for a kit that doesn't even include completely fabbed headers. They state it's not an issue and that fabbing the headers isn't necessary. That's fine and dandy until you charge...

I thought it was paranoia as well until I scoped my motor and saw cylinders 7 & 8 done before the first oil change. My car is stock.

I'd steer clear of any new coyote right now.

That's a terrible idea. If you put something out of spec in your oil then something actually happens then you're on the hook.

I would test drive the SS. In fact, I would cancel the bullit order immediately if you're even remotely leaning that way. The bullit is for people that care about the heritage of the bullit. It's performance is not going to separate it significantly, especially for the price. If you're not...

You'll quickly find that if you have to lean on the warranty for serious issues that Ford and it's dealerships go through a lot of trouble to make sure your issues are not acknowledged. I would love to share the emails I got back from my CSR after informing them of the bore scope results...

You are a saint for posting this! I was hesitant about the stage 3 cams, because no one wanted to post their results and now we can kind of see why. I'll gladly lose 3 whp to keep 20 wtq.

I have taken in previously but they just denied there was an issue. I submitted the info to ford through the CSR rep. I was waiting to see what they say.

Discoloration and gouging in dark straight lines up the cylinder wall. I've built street setups, I've built track setups. Even with Wiseco pistons I've never had an issue like this.

Why would you notice a difference? The pressure coming from the master isn't changing, and the rotor size isn't changing. I HIGHLY doubt baers are better than brembos. However, it's your car.

Just bore scoped my 18 and found damage on cylinders 7 & 8. Stock car with no tune, 5500 miles. The "answer" from Eddie Nguyen is a non-answer. "You have a warranty" is not a reason for Ford to not fix your car.

I really wish Growler was right. I think the s550 platform is fantastic. They've just made some sort of oversight that has a high liability. Anyways, I bore scoped my own car and found the discoloration in cylinders 7 & 8 that go from the bottom to near the top of the sleeves from what I...

I get it. You don't consider cylinder gouging damage. Your perspective makes sense now. Ill stop wasting my time as an engineer talking to you.

cool so you're trolling since you missed the pics of cylinder damage in the other thread.

What a myopic argument. Since some are successful, all are?

The local dealerships simply pulled another mustang next to mine and said they sounded the same then said "sorry for holding your car for a week". I've initiated the buy back process. There may or may not be a problem. That's now not what I am primarily concerned with.

I am under the humble impression LTI vettes are easy 11 second cars from the factory.

NICE

Did they do a borescope, yes or no?
