Mine failed and caused me to have to replace an engine. I was planning on it anyways but still. Might as well do them and the timing chains while working on the car. Easy peace of mind. Before anyone hops in from another thread, yes I was on a transbrake and I am sure that did not help. But...

Bro I love my 2 Mustangs but Ford has nothing coming out to rival the Z06 in performance and value. Truly the Z06 is finally a real American supercar competitor. I love the GT500. Its a great looking car with decent numbers. But for 100k you can get a lot of car.

I have both. A auto and a manual. I like them both.

Yes it's literally launch control. What do you mean it does not compare to a 2 step? The 2 step holds the RPMs at the designated setting and the transbrake allows you to put the car in gear and then load up onto the 2 step? Without the transbrake the 2 step is not that helpful. Your brakes...

The transbrake doesn't do anything to the RPMs. If you have a transbrake and no 2 step it will simply rev to whatever you throttle it to or blow up. The 2 step is what attempts to hold the RPM constant. I can see how that would strain the OPGs as it is bouncing off of the edge of that. I just...

Makes sense!

I mean that is true for every car and nearly every mechanical piece on a car. I personally don't see how the OPGs were being stressed any more than normal under the Trans brake and 2 step. Anymore than it would be from foot braking it to 3k.

It was also on a 2 step only reving to 3100 RPMs. It was not bouncing off of the rev limiter

They will still be back charged for most of it. It's 1 year to not get a back charge. At least it was.

22 Owners eat crayons. I prefer the yellow ones. Tastes like a banana.

cats melted and exhaust no longer had anywhere to go. happens under high loads on boosted cars. insane amounts of heat then gets shoved back into the engine and just melts it. If you are going boosted take the cats off or go NA/low boost and be very aware no long hard pulls or repeated pulls

If you have good E85 near you from the pump it's a no brainer. It's superior in every way from 93. Burns cooler, cheaper (offset by worse MPG), free power, INSANLY better knock protection. No reason not to run it honestly.

Any idea what you are putting down? 850ish hp?

Stock suspension?

Shot you a text.

Yea Just google Boundary Oil Pump Gears 2021 Mustang

Well from my real world experience and loss of a entire motor and 15k replacing it with an actual built engine... OPGs are a must. I knew the car was on borrowed time using the stock OPGs. I just did not care because I planned on the RPG short block anyways. With OPGs and GT500 intake etc...

Thanks for the data man. Lots of people come with claims and not even logs. This is good to know for everyone. Working on my 22 road course build and I have a closed roush CAI (no tune yet) and I doubt to see any real gains over a OEM closed CAI. But it will say Roush on it and look cool 😎

Of course I would never to claim it to be anything but a modified GT. I guess the Shelby name carries something I will never get. Carrol Shelby is no longer around. I want to see Ford put out some truly competitive cutting edge cars. Not reuse the Shelby name to milk money from nostalgia. GM...

I don't see how they won't feel as special. I would much rather have a car curtailed to my needs rather than a stock car a bunch if other people own. As far as the looks you can spend a little cash and have the Shelby 500 look for way cheaper than you would probably think. I'll post some pics...
