Very true. I think some people consider opinion with judgement. Do I think it's wrong to do X/Y? That's my opinion. Do I think the Bible (Or some other text) says X/Y is wrong? I would also say that is an opinion. Saying "This is wrong" would be judging, but I would argue the Bible says...

They might have ones that activate on boost, I've seen ones that work that way. Then again, it would only open on boost. If you want to be able to run it in loud mode all the time, I think you will want to tap into the brake booster line, because it should always be in vacuum.

True, but absent a dyno to hit those load cells in a steady state situation, it was the best way to stay in the rev range/mapped cells long enough to get meaningful data. Doing it in shorter gears wouldn't give useful data. My buddy partially bought it because he wanted more torque in 6th...

I didn't realize they were that close. It's amazing to me that they kept the tables basically the same, maybe they are relying on the learning to handle differences. This was my buddy's car when we tried it last summer. Ambient was 91F and IAT was 99F here. This was on CA91 octane. As you...

I don't think so unless you were willing to move the cats back. The cats are real close to the manifold.

From a tuning standpoint, a proper tune needs to know a lot about the throttle body. The gear ratio of the motor, the cross sectional area, max and min angles, and a lot of flow numbers. If you have access to HP Tuners, you will see just how much there is to mess with. This is why the GT350...

This is by far the right way to do this, but if I may offer some suggestions. I would weld on the 3-hole flange on both sides. That way someone can bolt on turndowns, or, plumb in additional exhaust after the cutout. Similar to an active exhaust. Likewise, some people might want to have the...

My buddy gets his in 5th gear mostly, where you can easily sit at those problematic cells. 1500 to 2500 RPM are the problem children, and that's precisely where Ford said the gains are. The maps show a lot of extra advance there as well. And yeah, the pinging in his car will continue until he...

It's a different tune because it's a different intake manifold, so I don't think it is a good comparison. Ford might have it dialed in better for the GT350 IM.

My 89 LX was like that. The midwest weather helped me out by rusting the mild-steel H-pipe I had, and it fell off right at the end of the headers. I ran like that for many months until I could afford another one. I loved the smell of raw fuel and the loud sound. To this day, the loud NVH...

I love the irony in that. Seriously. I run Motorcraft filters in my Dodge Ram as well. I also ran AC Delco parts on my old Dodge Dakota. I had a GM/Onstar rear view mirror on my Dodge Neon when I sold it...I wanted one with a dimmer and a compass and the onstar one was the cheapest on ebay...

No problem. I forgot one thing - a lot of people say to fully document the car. So I just pulled out my phone and video taped everything. The shipper had a sheet where he did the same thing. Just like at a car rental counter if you've ever rented a car. I'm not sure if the buyer verified...

I shipped a truck clear from SoCal to NoVA. It's a fairly easy process. You put up your request on a lending-tree type board. Make sure to use a google voice number and a disposable email address because you will get spammed to death by everybody and everything. Now, know that you usually...

Thank you Blue Moon for your service. My father was there in the Army (Civilian by then) - stationed right down the street in Riyadh. Painting tanks from the Vietnam camo to the desert camo. He was there to witness the aftermath of the Patriot missile failure that killed the Marines. That was...

Thank you for the explanation. Do you think Whipple will publish the compressor maps for it? I'm curious how it compares the the Eaton 2650 pack, which is supposedly pretty efficient.

Very true, a lot of families celebrating Christmas without a loved one who's in the armed forces, or who died in the line of duty. :flag:

I wish all my S550 brothers and sisters a Merry Christmas. I hope y'all have a safe and fun Christmas with your friends and family. Hopefully, where you live, the weather is nice enough to take the Mustang out for a nice drive.

I am a Christian, and you are correct that we don't always practice what we preach. Just like any other group of people out there, there are many different levels of Christians, and many different takes on the Bible and on doctrines. I am an evangelical, which I believe to be the least liked...

I'm a tool geek like you both. I used Milwaukee and Makita when I was in Maintenance of an assembly line. I explain the difference to people like this. If you have a drill and it catches with the Makita, it will pull a muscle in your wrist. If you do it with a Milwaukee, it will break your...

I put a lot of time into looking at them. There are tons of brands, but Factory Five is probably the biggest and has the most engineering behind it. I really like the truck and hot rod - they look like a (dare I say regular) restoration, but like all factory 5 stuff, they have an amazing...
