I can take a screenshot from Live Link. See below running 91 tune on 94 octane fuel. Notes: Originally Bama was seeing the knock while reviewing my track logs. As a result they asked if I was running any transmission bushings/braces. At that time I was running a 93 tune on 94 octane fuel...

Finally popped out the the Steeda tranmission bushing. It was the cause of 90% of the NVH, in fact, so much so that it was triggering the knock sensor. Now all I hear is gear whine from the rear end with black bushings.

Couldn't resist, put them in today! Back to the track on Friday. Honestly, I couldn't believe how shitty the Ford links were. Total garbage. Also, you'll see from the last photo why I was questioning longevity of these links in another thread. Only 5K on the car so far.

I think the car was a early 80s Buick Skylark or Oldsmobile Cutlass. People will use just about anything as a platform for their project racer, especially if it'll take a Chevy small block.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback and clip.

It seems as though everyone's experience is different when it comes to wheel hop and the S550 platform. I created this post to share mine, so other's could compare theirs. Just to be clear, the suspension isn't entirely stock. I have installed Steeda's progressive springs, differential bushing...

Thanks for the update. I'm thinking about waiting for a solution before I do the install, being that I'm in a harsh Canadian climate more than a few months of the year.

Maybe I missed it, but did BMR respond to the quoted post with which Seals-It (size, part #) should be used for the ends of the vertical links?

Yes.

Thanks for chiming in here Alex. All is good here, thanks. There's no doubt in my mind that as Bama sees more and more cars their tunes on this generation will get better and better, up to a point. I agree, with the "if it ain't broke" theory entirely. Even I was pretty hesitant to re-flash...

Just don't hold your breath while waiting for a response, I waited a month. That being said, I didn't put put any added pressure on them to get a quicker response either.

I sent some data logs to Bama about a month ago due to some idling concerns, they got back to me yesterday stating that they've made a lot of revisions since their V2 tunes with accompanied by the updated files. I flashed the car back to stock, updated the X4 and reflashed to the updated 93...

That was precisely the question that started this thread in the first place. In the end I went with the option that seemed to be the "biggest bang for the buck" solution.

My mustang wouldn't even idle without the tune change. It'd start and choke out.

I'll try to capture what I can, but it'll be difficult to capture the vibration during light to moderate acceleration that's being transferred into the cabin. I have aftermarket exhaust as well, so I don't think it's a masking effect. I'd be more inclined to think that however smooth or...

I have the black ones installed and I'm hearing and feeling EVERYTHING, including gear whine and torsen clicks that I wasn't even aware was there before! That said, I installed the differential, subframe and transmission bushings all at the same time. It could be the combo of all 3.

Sirius by nature sounds terrible. It's equivalent to 64-96kbit mp3.

I haven't put weight in the trunk since my '90 5.0. Not necessary. To protect the paint, I had 3M put on the car. The front 24", headlights, rocker panels, mirrors, door handles, behind each wheel, first 6" of roof and the trunk area. It looks so good, you can't even really see it on a clean...

I've heard all those comments from naysayers about needing to buy a "winter beater" throughout the years. I can only assume they're just horrible drivers. For the record, I drove my Mustang GT PP all winter. Purchased 19in "winter wheels" and rode on a 255/40/19 square setup which were Michelin...
