My pleasure. My heart sank when it happened to me. But all was well. I was surprised to see how many people it’s happened to in this thread.

I had already torqued down the lower when t happened. There was no way to be sure that chunks wouldn’t go into the cylinder. I pulled it back off of the car to keep everything safe. I also disassembled the core to make sure nothing was stuck inside of it.

I disagree with a turbo being a “hit.” Turbo torque swells very quickly, but it’s not exactly the same as a PD “hit.” Two cars identical in every way with the exception of turbo vs PD blower on a roll at 2500rpm in 2nd go WOT at the exact same time: PD guy gets smashed into the back of the seat...

My VMP did the exact same thing. Had to drill it out and then use a pipe thread tap to clean up the threads. PITA! Take your time and it will be just fine.

According to DragTimes DA Calc, the DA on the afternoon of the 13th was around +250 feet. It’s been pretty chilly in this neck of the woods.

Yes, still on the stock 3.73 Torsen.

That’s been my username since joining my first forum! If you look at my YouTube page you’ll see lots of it going on. Lol

Much obliged.

I know there’s a huge debate between these and various other UHP summer tires, especially the MPSS and new MP4S. I made this video in reply to a thread in the forced induction section but thought I would post it here as well. Obviously this is only my opinion under real world conditions. The...

See my video above......I don’t have any of what you listed and hook just fine in second.

I decided to make a little video to demonstrate them. Please bear with me since it’s my first video ever with commentary. I give up on trying to embed the video. If someone wants to, please feel free.

I would highly recommend the Continental Extreme Contact Sport. I have them in stock PP size and they handle my power just fine and are excellent in the wet.

It's too short overall, by close to an inch. Wouldn't matter to most, unless you have a "ton" of power, 3.73s and still trying to trap in 4th gear.

I trapped between 124-128 and hit the rev limiter every time. I think it's set around 7500 or so. That was on a stock size rear tire.

3.73 is too much in my opinion. I am going through the traps in 4th on the rev limiter. That's with a Gen II-R and 82mm pulley. That and mufflers are the only mods. 3.31, half-shafts and tires are next on my mod list.

Vinny, with the VMP on a 2015+ they have you remove the under hood blanket. I see in the pics that it sort of seals against that creating its own lid per se. Would your recommendation be to reinstall the blanket and clearance it for the blower and pulley or just leave it off all together?

After installing my VMP I had serious traction issues in 2nd and sometimes in third. That was with the stock Pirelli P-Zeros (2015 GT PP). I just put on a brand new set of Continental ExtremeContact Sports (stock size) and I couldn't be happier. The car will dead hook most of the time in 2nd...

Mine is going in on Monday for Ford to do warranty repair for corrosion on the front right lip of the hood. It seems that it's a fairly common issue and Ford had no problem issuing the repair approval.

I actually emailed Continental and asked if they planned to produce them in that size and the said NO. Boooo

I know I'm biased, but I'm very happy with mine as well. You can not go wrong with any of the kits these days. All of them are very well engineered. Just pick what kind of power delivery you want and choose a system from there. You'll be happy no matter what.
