Low quality = vlogger street racing trash who can't talk technical and has no idea what he's doing. High quality = savage geese comes to mind where they discuss the design language of the car as well as the engineering behind it.

Thanks, no I only really follow high quality automotive channels. I watched a bit of one of his videos that came in my feed a while ago and it was enough for me. Thanks for the clarification, I won't be watching.

Not sure what you mean by "black mamba".....

I feel the exact same way about those stupid aftermarket GT350/500 bumpers.

Fuel issues or not, that dope turned a track ready GT500 into a "one pull wonder" with those modifications....

Unfortunately since the "youtuber who shall not be mentioned" is more of a street racer bro rather than a car guy that understands the engineering that goes into cars we'll probably never get an understanding of the root cause. That being said I'm always amused at when I see on this forum...

I can see what you're saying here, but the GT350 and GT500 are more than just bolt on affairs that you can replicate with the aftermarket. There is a lot of engineering that went into the improvements for these two vehicles even though they share the same S550 platform. Now for me personally (I...

Yes, there are some reputable aftermarket companies out there that put the R&D in. I'm not saying that we should all drive around cars as they were from the factory, but I've specifically chosen mods and parts for both my car and truck that won't eat into the safety factor nor affect the long...

So I actually have some experience in this department. I used to have a travel trailer that had a 26 foot box and was just about 30 feet in length from the tongue to the bumper. I have a 2015 F150 ecoboost which is similarly equipped as yours (Max tow etc) the only difference is that I have the...

My daily is my 2015 F150 Ecoboost.

THIS! There are a lot of aftermarket parts companies more than willing to take your money but either don't have the budget/know-how or will to properly test these parts like an OEM would. People like that stangmode goof think they can outsmart the engineers at the OEM by making their car...

I won't give him a watch, hes the type of automotive youtuber I can't stand. Zero engaging content, can't speak to the engineering of a vehicle. Just the same street racing BS over and over. There's posting worthy and interesting content and then there is posting content for clicks of which he's...

I need to clarify here is when I meant intake, I mean the part with the air filter attached, not the intake manifold. With that in mind the 350 TB is likely part of the package as it likely provided a better seal with the intake tube than could be achieved on the standard 80mm throttle body. On...

I want to amend my answer here as I had a few thoughts on the FP power packs. As an engineer I don't believe that there is any advantage to the 87mm throttle body for the PP2 on the 2015-2017 or the PP available for the 2018-2020. As these both come with an adapter which necks down to 80mm. I...

Understood then, E85 is pretty much non existent up here in the Pacific NW.

Why on earth would you replace a performance calibration done by the engineers at the OEM with a run of the mill email tune? Aftermarket does not always mean better.

After my first kid I nearly got hit on my bike which likely would've been fatal for me. My bikes went on Craigslist the next day and I haven't looked back.

What ultimately helped me become a better driver and aware of my surroundings were my years of riding motorcycles and tracking my Honda 600rr. There's also nothing quite like the rush tucking and pinning the throttle on a bike.

So this may not be a popular opinion but I've never really seen hard evidence that a catch can will prevent valve coking in a DI motor. One of the original design benefits was to reduce the amount of oil vapor in the intake tract which can cause knocking at higher RPM's. Now I've seen a number...

My son is now 5 and is getting into cars (his current favorite vehicle is a raptor). My plan for him not to be a dumbass on the road when he gets older is to be that dad that works on his car with him as well as takes him to HPDE events and the friday night drags. The deal will be I'll do...
