  1. What weight oil on forced induction 5.0's

    On the street I see around 230F on the track 250F+ if its in the summer. The point that I decided I need a thicker oil was when I performed the lab analysis I detailed earlier that showed that at my temperatures the oil had sheared to a lighter thinner oil (damaged) and was no longer...
  2. What weight oil on forced induction 5.0's

    My car isn't a daily. I only beat on it or take it on the track (road course). Not only will 5w20 perform poorly at temperatures of 230+ like you will have in Houston at MSR after 5 laps; You will also damage the oil. I do have data for MY CAR, in the form of using multiple labs to analyze...
  3. What weight oil on forced induction 5.0's

    This will depend entirely on driving conditions, climate and your setup. There isn't a chart that was made for you yet ;). Are you just driving to the store? Are you on a race track in the Houston 98F crazy humidity heat? You can have a 1000whp car that never sees over 200F if you do only the...

  6. Boost Works Base Kit Install PDF now online!

    From the install manual: Haha can confirm, hands still healing after doing a header install youtube video. The install guide really doesn't sound too bad to me, definitely had harder installs than this sounds like.
  7. Turbosmart raceport + Gates belt = MOAR BOOOST

    Thanks guys! I'm definitely going to try these so that when I get re-tuned we're getting the most boost we can ;).

  9. Turbosmart raceport + Gates belt = MOAR BOOOST

    Which gates belt is that? Mine was a gates (as far as I remember) from the factory for the stage 2 kit.
  10. What weight oil on forced induction 5.0's

    I'm running Motul 300V Chrono 10w40 which is their car formula. I posted some thoughts/results here: https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92145 This is true assuming temperatures are within spec. Multi-grade oils (i.e. 5w20, 5w30, etc...) are designed to protect daily driven cars...
  11. Corsa Header Install DIY Video

    I'll take it as a compliment :). Car's mostly a toy. I think it has under 6k (very rough) miles still, never been in the rain as far as I can remember lol.

  14. Corsa Header Install DIY Video

    Hey Guys, Thought you might like a DIY vid on installing Corsa headers on the S550. There are other good videos out there on header installs, so this is probably nothing new, but in case it helps anyone: [ame]
  15. E85 reliability

    Daily is probably fine, I can't imagine it being a big problem with moisture absorption if you're cycling through it. There are plenty of flex fuel cars that get driven on E85, and afaik ours are fine with it.
  16. E85 reliability

    My biggest concern has always been quality/consistency of the pump E85. I could buy various sealed drums of race E85 or E98, but the cost of those products isn't too far off from other unleaded race fuels. Plus the race gas isn't as prone to water absorption since it's much lower in ethanol or...
  17. Lund tuning and traction control

    The only downside is if you aren't good at maintaining traction yourself or if you let others drive the car.
  18. Corsa S550 headers now ready to go!!

    You could always add cats if you wind up not liking it in person. The x-pipes could be cut up and cats could be welded in easily at an exhaust shop as long as they know how to work on stainless and not just mild steel. You might find some clamp-able slip on cats too that fit. You can use some...
  19. Pro charger leak issues?

    No issues on mine yet, been about 1,800 very hard miles. P1SC1
  20. Corsa S550 headers now ready to go!!

    I think with the sport exhaust it would be a lot less obnoxious. I had Kooks 1-7/8 on my G8 GT with Corsa Sport and it sounded great. I'm sure you can find some videos of other cat-less LTs with the Corsa Sport, the sound volume shouldn't be much different from one header to another if they're...
