  1. European Spec 5W50 Mobil 1 on sale at Napa.

    I posted a reply earlier in this thread, stating that I was sent the "Regular" formula, not the "European" formula. I was incorrect. I thought that the European formula label had European written on the label. But it turns out that the marking that the European formula has is FS/X2 marking in a...
  2. Exhaust questions

    I got confirmation with a Borla tech, that their resonator has packing. He didn't know about the Ford Performance by Borla resonator, but he did give me the contact info for the person that should know. I will also find out if the two have the same dimensions.
  3. Exhaust questions

    IRRC, it's been said that the Ford Performance resonator is a mechanical resonator. The Borla one has fiberglass packing. I am boosted with the Borla touring cat back with the addition of the Borla resonator. It's gotten louder and I've seen fiberglass shards on my garage floor. I'm gonna...
  4. European Spec 5W50 Mobil 1 on sale at Napa.

    The last order from NAPA, when they had a sale. I ordered 12 quarts of the "European", but they delivered the standard 5w50.
  5. 2017 whippled stage 2 with full exhaust. Dyno numbers look ok?

    Looking at the ambient temperatures at the time of the pulls, your numbers in my opinion good.

  7. ebay sellers

    I guess you would have to see what kind of feedback the seller has and if they have a return policy. I do believe if you send it back, the shipping back to the seller is on your dime.
  8. Add resonator or switch cat back?

    I'm catless due to being boosted. I got the Borla touring with the Borla resonator while stock. While catted and not boosted, the tone and sound level was just right. Going boosted and after a few WOT episodes, it seems as though the volume level has gone up. I have read on this forum that the...
  9. Question on Advanced Wheel Locks.

    I would just get a set of the Mcgard wheel locks and call it a day. If someone really wants the wheel, the locks only slow them down. I lost my lock key socket and all I had to do was hammer a deep socket onto the lock to remove it. Just food for thought.
  10. What floor jacks do you guys use? (lowered 500's too)?

    I use a Harbor Freight jack. I've had it a few years and really like it. Yes, some swear off of Harbor Freight stuff, but this jack fits all of the things that I need it to do. At $239.00 not inexpensive.

  12. Continental Extreme Sport 02 compared To /Michelin Pilot Sport 4s

    If we use your logic, Continental wouldn't have made a comparable tire at a price point which is $35.00 a tire cheaper than the Michelins, in the tire size I was looking at.
  13. Continental Extreme Sport 02 compared To /Michelin Pilot Sport 4s

    You laughed at me saving 8 dollars a tire. I guess you didn't read the above post above yours.
  14. Continental Extreme Sport 02 compared To /Michelin Pilot Sport 4s

    The 8 dollar savings is not what drove me to buying the Michelins and yes, I am a cheap bastard!. The fact that the Continentals are on backorder, made my decision to buy the Michelins and I need the tires now. Plus the usual price of the Pilot Sports is $460.00. I got them for $417.00 each. At...
  15. Continental Extreme Sport 02 compared To /Michelin Pilot Sport 4s

    I was going to give the Continentals a try, but the size I was looking for are back ordered. I got the Michelin Pilots and got them for 8 dollars a tire less than the Continentals. I'll give them a try when this set wears out. By that time though, hopefully another tire maker gives both Michelin...
  16. Thinking about Switching to a Whipple. Thoughts?

    I can't race from a dig to save my life. The Whipple just makes the tires break free even worse. I'd suspect for a driver with shit racing abilities like me, would benefit from a Centri. My 330WHP Fiesta St had the torque peak about 1100 RPMs later, which helped a bunch.
  17. Thinking about Switching to a Whipple. Thoughts?

    You can always try a car with a Roush or Ford Performance blower. Those will behave similat to the Whipple. Just to compare driveability differences. Good luck!
  18. Thinking about Switching to a Whipple. Thoughts?

    One thing to consider is, there is a big difference where the torque comes in. Your current set up has the peak torque come in later in the RPM range. The Whipple has the torque come in sooner in the RPM band. How your car behaves now, will be totally different with the Whipple. Since the FI...
  19. Possible boost leak? and boost calculation

    Check the torque of all of the clamps on the pressurized side of your pipes. Sounds like a small leak. When I had a duct leak, it sounded just like when you put a blade of grass between your fingers and blow.
  20. Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 325/30/19

    This tire is about an inch smaller in diameter than the original tire, so I will have to re-calibrate my speedometer. The current tire is about a third of an inch smaller in diameter from stock and using GPS, it's about 2 miles an hour off.
