Yup. You want to direct as much airflow [as needed] to the area in need (and than make sure it is exhausted enough per application req). In this case, to the heat exchangers. What you dont want is air just going all over the place creating drag and front-end lift.
Simple answer: Because...
Lol, been there done that. I'd be less worried about rubber. The real worry is rocks/pebbles. Many times have I had pebbles jump into the wheel area and lodge themselves between brake calipers and inner wheel barrels. I once had a large enough pebbled jump up, into the wheel area and find its...
A 7.3L V8 202X Mustang would go the opposite direction of current performance....
1.) It's 7.3L. It's going to eat fuel and produce a lot of particulates.
2.) It's 7.3L. It's going to eat a LOT of fuel as a HP engine.
3.) The 7.3L was designed to the intent of being a truck engine. The size...
I voted to keep the Boss.
You seem to really like Orange/Yellow and the Boss gets you that
You want to stay manual and the Boss gets you that
You want something that has good handling and the Boss gets you that
You want something special for your weekend drives and the Boss gets you that
You...
Well, I'm sure that the GT500 carbon/track package with SportCup 2's will be what is compared against. From what I have been reading (in researching track tires for this season) is that the GY SuperCar 3R tires (used on the ZL1 1LE) have more grip than the Michelin SportCup 2 tires, but will...
Im on the wagon that the vibrations are an issue, but one Ford did a good job engineering to control.
Leave the powertrain/drivetrain as stock as you can and the vibrations shouldn’t be an issue.
Now at 60k+ miles? Eh... That’s where Im “uncomfortable “.
I think the engine replacements are a...
No... I did not. I did not think of that! But if you look at the spy shots, they didn't have the Cobra emblems. It looks like you can, and make it look clean, but with a little work:
If you want the blowen-up pic...
I mean... why not just run a Gen 2/3 Coyote if being efficient against BoP restrictors is the case (design of engine vs. airflow)? If you're cutting a 530HP engine into the 450HP+.... Running 7,500 vs 8,250 is more fuel efficient.

I want to add, please do not confuse my comment as one saying "the FPC Voodoo is garbage". Actually the opposite - Ford did quite the stand-out, stellar job developing the Voodoo. However, it has it's limitations, to which should not be ignored.
Uh... because it's relevant to this discussion. I would say more-so relevant than the discussions on HP/TQ between GT/GT Bullitt vs. GT350 and also cHP/fwHP vs. rwHP...
The topic of THIS thread is "GT350 will live past 2019 with GT500 engine block!"
The major discussion is about the GT500 block...
I’m stating some additional facts in the GT350R-C vs GT/FP350S discussion.
If you think it’s who-ha, to put some backing with this, here are a few published sources:
“The Multimatic-built car, the successor to the race-winning Mustang Boss 302R, shares a direct correlation to the race-inspired...
Did you know the FPC in the 350R-C had to be rebuilt before basically every race?
Do you know about the components that broke adapting the FPC to various race parts?
That is what drove away from FPC to CPC in the GT4 and FP350S.
Providing a more economical and robust product to racing...
