Sonoma Raceway is my local track. I’ve never had decent launches, 1-2, or 2-3 shifts. My PP car has 3.55s and just wheel hops in drag mode. Your 3.15 rear end may be better for Sonoma Raceway’s lack of track prep.
I can confirm drag mode with selector in S; shifts softly. That’s due to the...
This.
Pick a tuner and ask them what works. I guess you might want to use that power? If so, add these items
1) Clutch
2) Drive shaft
3) Axles
4) Drag radials
Punching it at 80+ and having the car try to swap ends isn’t fun.
Cheers,
I highly recommend getting out there. You just don’t know what these cars can do until you push them. I’m only at about 75% after two events. The car stops great. I need to brake later. I need to carry more speed through the turns. My on board G meter showed 1.1G braking, 0.82G...
Yes, Magneride is worth it for a daily driver. Yes, IRS subframe lock outs are needed to allow the rear end to communicate with the driver.
A dedicated track car and track only suspension will be faster on the track.
Cheers,
You are correct. I just watched an install video and the cat pipe is swaged down also.
Damn Ford; Why you wasting time and money swaging both resonator and cat pipes, if you’re gonna butt. connect them.
Cheers,
Yep. The ID of the resonator replacement should be larger than the OD of the cat pipe to fit over it; not reduced to fit inside the cat pipe. It would be worth the extra $ to have a new larger clamp.
(2.25/2)*(2.25/2)*3.1459 = 3.97 [square inches]
(2.5/2)*(2.5/2)*3.1459 = 4.91 [square inches]...
Hi Borla,
When will you make a resonator replacement that slips over the cat pipes?
Resonator replacements that slip inside the cat pipes seems like an unnecessary restriction.
Thanks,
You release the brake pedal when the initialization completes. That way you don’t burn up the rear brake pads. Pressing OK during the burnout unlocks the front brakes and lets the car roll out.
Cheers,
Here’s how I do it.
1) Roll rear wheels through the water. Don’t spin in the water it will coat your wheel wells and drip on the tires during your run.
2) Select D, Drag mode, and disable advance track.
3) Use line lock.
4) Spin em until smoke appears in side view mirrors. I like ~30MPH.

In my 2018 I dumped a 5 quart jug in first. Then I dumped two bottles of Ceratec in. Then I filled each of the now empty Ceratec bottles with the second 5 quart jug and poured the rest of the 5 quart jug into the engine. So, I only had 10 quarts in the crank case. So far; so, good.
Cheers,
No. But, you can see the PIDs I used in this post

Look at the red line in the bottom panel. KR is for Knock Retard. It goes up when the trans over reved during the 2-3 shift.
Cheers,
I did this experiment last year with an HPTuners dongle. I saw the 2K rattle aligned with the direct injection pump pressure ramping up. I looked for and did not see any knock retard being applied. This was a 3rd gear light throttle event; too much engine load and the rattle disappears.
Cheers
Today I changed the oil and added 2 bottles of Ceratec. The idle chatter is almost gone. Now my 2018 GT's idle sounds like my 2016 F150 idle. But, the 2000 RPM rattle is still there. I want to say the rattle is quieter; but, it’s too soon.
This engine hasn’t burned any oil. But, I changed...
No. AH is not the exhaust you are looking for. The reason to get AH is to make the car quieter.
You are installing headers; I guess, to make more power. The Coyote needs free flowing 3” exhaust pipes to max out the power.
