I'm planning on the FP springs/sways and camber plates at some point soon I think. I know two people running the fp springs on the street and good they're very good for hitting the mt roads pretty hard.
oh I bet they do
thats why I said: "those that check their oil, may see them burn too much and they get a new motor from Ford. Whats the issue?"
IF you are one of the unlucky few that burn an unacceptable amount of oil then you get a new motor from Ford. Again, what's the problem? The amount...
I've run against a ZL1 1LE a time or two lol... didnt see anything special as I looked in my rearview. btw - "consistently blowing engines" AND "using a ton of oil" are two very different things. The latter of which is a subjective term...
Facts are: These engines are within OEM spec to use...
the look, the sound and the performance are all night/day above a GT. There is a reason it cost more. Having said that, you can make a sweet ride out of a GT thats just as good or better.
good info/data is always welcome but 99% of the posts I see are whining/hating from children who think mass manufacturing is a perfect process. I'll also add they ignore data and just "know" this is some widespread phenomena that plagues the Ford community. When we all gather at a junkyard...
Imagine if you will, knowing someone with FORscan, the cable and a heated/cooled garage to do work in. Imagine also that you'd been there before, knew the way and would be amongst friends; you're still procrastinating about the geographical oddity of a 90 min drive. Welcome, to the "350 Zone"...
I'll make some general comments here since I'm running a pro charged R in hopes that it will help or at least provoke some more conversation.
First, traction is an issue with any high hp car. in Normal/Sport the OEM traction control systems do pretty well with slip and timing retard to help...
LMAOOOOOOO. Love this response.
After a few years, the aftermarket takes over. Honestly if you have no warranty at that time there is zero reason to go with factory engine rebuild. Aftermarket engine builders use superior parts and avoid that famous "Detroit precision"...
Coyote engine has the same comp ratio as the voodoo now... even the previous gen was close. Most engine builders like high cr as long as fueling isn't an issue. I've talked to RPG engines several times and they prefer boosting the voodoo at its factory cr or higher depending on application. if...
Bless your heart. This has to be an awful feeling... as others have stated your health is all that really matters here. the 40k number doesn't surprise me; just the wheels make a huge chunk of that... Also for what its worth, Cup2 tires have been good to me in the wet. its the cold or cold+wet...

Internet is a whine fest for people that think they're owed something. The extremely low failure rate is to be expected from anything mass produced. If someone wants an even better statistical chance of mechanical security, buy something thats slowly...
