This is what my understanding is. The Magneride suspension doesn't change which class it's in, as cars such as the Bullitt are still in FS (most are equipped with Magneride). It's most likely the availability of the handling package with the wider tires that bumped it into BS. It doesn't...

I'm in the midst of the first issue with my car. It's an 18 with the 700hp tune. It shows catalytic converter efficiency below threshold (P0430). The car runs just fine other than the light. It came on during a recent 3300+ mile trip and even went out for a bit before coming back on. The...

I took my car to the car wash last night and when I got down a few blocks I noticed the check engine light was on. It was running fine and no particular symptoms other than the light. I took it home and hooked it up to Forscan and got a P0430 code. It said no longer present, but had obviously...

My only trip to the drag strip so far was at Tulsa in June. The time slips show 93 degrees and 3800ft DA. My 60' times were atrocious, so none of my times were any good. 12.59@118 was my quickest with a 2.21 60' time. I had 3 time trials including one with a missed shift and all three with...

I've actually got a plate designed that you cold tune the sound level by changing the cutout size. I've been too cheap to have any made at this point, as the washers are working fine. I don't blame you for saying "screw it".

I used some washers to make partial block-offs (along with a thin piece of steel to keep them in place). If I wasn't supercharged I probably would have just removed the plates and been done with it, but the supercharger makes it pretty loud when they're completely removed. This way I'm only...

I'm running Motorcraft full synthetic 5W50 per Roush/Ford recommendation. There are lots of good oils out there, but didn't see a reason to deviate from the factory fill - especially when I'm still working with a warranty.

This is with Roush coilovers (1 way adjustables), but you can see the Falken RT660 305/30-19 tucks up under the fender lip under hard cornering. I've got 25mm spacers and extended studs on the front with Apex EC-7 19x11 in ET52 offset. The car came with steering stops, so no issues during...

It was great to see you again, too. Thanks for the clarification. The bit I quoted would definitely be something I'd be interested to see. I'm sure your consistency (experience and skill level) would be a more realistic comparison than what I did. The number of variables within my...

I just got back from my first autocross outing with 200tw tires. Major difference to say the least. We had a test and tune yesterday and competition today. A friend of mine had his GT350 out there on the same size tires I had (305/30-19). He's got worn out RE71Rs and I've got new RT660s. The...

I'd just get the cheap HF one so you don't mess up a good one by grinding on it. Only thing would be if the other one can get used without modification. I wouldn't worry about breaking them off. Mine came out quite easily. I did use an impact to run the tool. My main concern was just to...

I just did the stud swap last week. It's a matter of getting the brakes out of the way, getting them pressed out and new ones in. I used a ball joint removal tool ( https://www.harborfreight.com/3-4-quarter-inch-forged-ball-joint-separator-99849.html?_br_psugg_q=ball+joint+separator ) to...

I've have my SC'd car on the track one time so far and it was in 95 degree weather. It was made obvious to me that my driving style is not nearly as aggressive as it could be. It dropped a little power (I've got the 700hp Roush tune), but it was still way faster than anything I've driven. I...

Thanks! Here's a couple more from the same place. It always amazes me how much light changes the color of the car.

Finally got the 19x11s put on the car over the weekend. I used Vorshlag plates, 25mm spacers and extended studs along with 305/30-19 Falken Azenis RT660s. I've got an alignment set up for this Thursday and will be autocrossing it this Saturday and Sunday. Looking forward to seeing how much...

The 4-speed in the car right now is out of a 351C 4V '71 Cougar. I even got the factory Hurst shifter with it. I paid $75 for the whole setup back in the early '90s when the car was parted out. Don't think I could find one for that amount any more.

First name plus the car to the left. It's my first car and still parked in the garage about 33 years later.

I've been running CAM-C and I'm right in the middle of the transition from true street tires (Continental Sports) to 200tw tires (Falken Azenis RT660). I'll be ready to go after the car gets aligned on Thursday. I went the route of getting the biggest possible tires under the car without...

Yes, once the switch is out you still have to press the tab to remove the wiring.

I'll add a "thanks to everyone that contributed" to this thread. I had a ride in a GT350 around Hallett that had an AutoBlip and it worked very nicely. After doing a little research, I decided on the Xineering unit. So far I'm happy with it, but will need to put more time on it for final...
