Related to using the Gen 3 power pack tune or Bullit/Mach1 - the power pack tune is 91+ Octane Only in order to get the nice torque bump because they can reliably use more timing. I wonder if Ford would make S650 GTs a flex tune car like so many turbos care these days, and with additional tweaks...
Here’s a link to a radiator swap, just to visualize where some of the parts are. This is a V8 but I imagine it’s similar. I would think raising the rear would help it to flow out the drain. You could also remove the lower mount to get whatever fluid is over there. When I replaced my radiator, I...
@Canti I have some similar mods, including the dampers, but have BMRs minimum 763 drop springs. Those are 170/740, just above PP spring rates. Same front ride height as SP083 (unless you have the original 1.2 inch drop version). I would describe the ride as good overall, and our roads are also...
Even with the tradeoff of first gear, I think the idea is to make 2-4/5 more engaging and responsive in daily driving. Trying to best emulate the 15-17 experience with 3.73 which comes with more shifting and therefore involvement, if you define it that way. That’s all personal preference whether...
I looked into SC3s this spring and I recall Discount Tire and Discount Tire Direct simply not carrying the tire in 285/35 19 for some reason (went another direction and didn’t find out why). DT Direct currently shows 1 size for 19”. Tire Rack did then and does now have them available in the...
The hood vents, which are small but technically functional, are there to release some of the incoming air from the main grille/radiator area and a little bit of heat. Even though the regular Mustangs aren’t purpose built for aerodynamics, it would be a regression to use that vent for intake...
Rev hang on clutch in, where the computer holds RPMs, is significantly reduced. I have some more detailed thoughts waaay back in this thread, but it’s the best unadvertised part of this tune for MT cars. Revs drop much faster and more naturally.
Some feedback near the end of Boomba’s thread that makes me think you’re probably not missing much. A user claims the 60d feel basically just like the 70d without as much NVH. NVH is obviously very subjective and that person might be more sensitivite to it, but if it works well for you at 60d...
You’re correct that the factory mount will allow the transmission to rotate more with respect to the car body, but I disagree that it would hurt consistency. By mounting the shifter to the transmission, that mechanism is always aligned and should therefore be consistent, certainly more than the...
2018+ Has a twin disk clutch and that’s part of why things are improved.
I’ve only had issues shifting into 2 near redline, even before the mods. Thats been almost entirely eliminated with the above mods unless I’m turning significantly during the shift, then the alignment of body mounted...
The Maximum Motorsports plates do look very similar and have much more detailed instructions to help visualize.
