I'll add that with E85 all motor, basically knock free 100% of the time per my logs and cooling effect of the gas, unlikely to blow the engine really with a known/reputable tuner unless you're a moron and over-revving it. Highest likelihood is maybe replacing a fuel pump and or injectors and...
I simply said that for what you can get a GT for, there is a monstrous gap in price that doesnt make sense if you intend to drag the car, warranty or not. Who cares about warranty if you paid $17-40k whatever more for the other car. For 17k, i could replace my entire drivetrain brand new for...
Yes, I get slaughtered by a car costing almost 40k more. Put $15k into the mustang and run 9's all day. There is no financial argument you can make that the C8 corvette is a better price for performance for dragging. Sorry... and I never said the Mustang was a warrantied faster car with mods...
Any dyno's on the aluminator 5.2, and curious what fuel you're running it on (E85 or 93 or MS100+?). Havent seen many builds with it in a S550 yet, looks good!
Where you use the power is a fair point, but doesnt change the price range you're paying for similar performance. If all you wanna do is 0-60 launches, not sure why you would spend $60k+ on a vette though. Just get a Focus RS, drop a little weight and up the power and fly, or a used older...
Agreed and include the MAF scaling curves with/without inserts etc to compare to stock data to support driveability and lack of issues. This, along with dynos from a third party would be good to see (both with tunes, only mod difference being the lid to isolate gains due to this part).
I'm not super impressed with the car's specs to be honest. A 2019 GT PP1 10R80 with a Lund E85R only tune with decent tires will drag close to those quarter mile times and mph. I've got about $38k into my 18 GT all total, bought new, light bolts ons and already went 11.43 @ 123mph on a 1.82...
Not trying to be a pest but when you're marketing ram air volume effects and cooler temps, these simply are not things offered by the lid over the OEM intake. More airflow possibly in the MAF housing/lid area yes but seems misleading. Maybe adjust to those claims in comparison to other...
You can take a look at extended warranty pricing from Ford to anticipate expected reliability sometimes. Despite a loaded GT being similar to a GT350 in cost overall for the consumer, the extended warranty costs are astronomically higher. I think the 8yr/100k on a GT350 is like 5 or 6 grand @...
I would definitely get a new manifold and add the passenger side Ford catch can at the same time to keep the mani clean and dry from the get go. I would order the manifold from Steeda, have them ship to Bret or Junkie directly from Steeda, then they can port it and ship to you. Much easier than...
Very welcome sir. I didnt care about the numbers themselves but the data verifies what I feel and that is more torque/midrange on the ported mani for sure and some more top end. Of note, I compared a Junkie 1320 mani to the AFS one and they have almost the exact same porting appearance vs OEM...
Yep thats what I did too there. I would HIGHLY recommend opening up the other grid area on the left side of the fang too and if you dont mind the look, grind out the pony and leave the silhouette. I also did the bottom two rows on the lower grille. Nothing weird behind them that they need to...
Now with the bottom grill opened up too. Nothing behind there except the radiator, 25 sq in more flow from the bottom 40 I opened. Breathe deep baby :)
The reason I didnt do the Velossatech was that it physically changes the shape of the inlet of the intake by proxy of form fitting into the OEM duct, lengthening it etc. Not sure how it impacts the airflow into the pipe/etc or the resonance and airflow within the OEM setup, but since the OEM one...
Interesting. Would be good to see some flow data before/after for the MAF readings. I would note, if the big mouth is sitting inside the factor duct (wedged) then it by proxy is shrinking the overall area a bit since it has to be smaller to go inside.
