I have severe neuropathy in both feet, (now starting in my hands as well) had to stop riding motorcycle and you want to hear something funny? Friends said install an air shifter make it an auto! On a motorcycle I refuse anything but manual so mine is up for sale. Had it not been for Ford...
Clunky is the last thing I would say about my 10r80, I rarely let it downshift without me doing it with the paddle or pulling back the lever and listening to it downshift with a blip of the throttle, music to my ears. In my humble opinion the 10r80 is what you make of it. If you bought the car...
Back in 1985 I took my girlfriend to a local parking lot to learn stick in my brand new 5.0 LX Notch, keep in mind this was 215hp, not 460 and yet when I told her to slip the clutch she panicked and popped it and proceeded to smoke the tires straight for a goo 50 feet, she then panicked stopped...
Fellow Crimson here, open CAI's can heat soak but they do make some power, I bought the closed CAI with 120mm and let me tell you that and the 93 tune is making better power all the way to 7800. I'll have proof this Spring. My worry since my 2006 GT with an open CAI was air inlet tempts while...
Wow, I have had too many to list and not a single one from my '85 Notch 5.0 LX, to my '85 GT through 12 more Mustang GT's up to my current 18 GT and including my 1996 Lincoln 32v 4.6 Mark VIII, no ticks. I'm beginning to think people hear anything "ticky" "rattle" like normal valve train noise...
Mine doesn't, I don't know anybody more OCD than me when it comes to strange noises, rattles etc... mine sounds the same now as it did almost a year ago when it was new.
At 41 degrees all I can say is good luck getting traction, period. You may want to walk it out a bit more than usual considering plus who knows what track prep is going to be like. When colder out I always look for the big tire folks to run a few good runs before I go up so I know the line is...
Indeed, here I stall to 2000, the tires broke loose and I kicked it down to 1800 but it was too late, as it hit 2nd gear the Adv Trac kicked in and pulled power from every shift after.
For some reason the track allowed people to crowd the area so my buddy could get good video, it was ladies day...
You're the rat bastard that ran into the 11's at GLD right with a friend who has a blue one that did the same? :rockon: Do you know what the DA was when you went? I can't ever seem to get below 2500 and seem to average around 3500 when I go. At Byron it's not much better, 12.0 with a DA of 2500...
Welcome to my world, people are telling you to pull the plug which will fix the Adv Trac turning back on during a run however you will lose drive modes and the car will shift lower and you'll net a slower ET. I took my car back to Ford and asked why the frig my car keeps turning Advanced Trac...
The car with those tires can handle an 1800 or 2000 launch so if you have the taller gearing it will bog launching at 1200, you're leaving almost 3 tenths in the 60ft alone, the shudder going from 1 to 2 is harsh but the car does run its best eighth or quarter using Drag Mode. If you can next...
Mine has a tendency to turn trac ctrl back on during a run even after turning off advc trac for 6 seconds, during the run bam it turns back on and cuts power during shifts. If you can keep that sucker off you can expect a better ET, my best with a clean run is 12.0. This year I'm tuned for 93...
Looks damn near identical to my runs, from going around the water (smart!) to the short burn out to the run except sometimes my advanced trac would kick back in or with trac control off advanced trac would pull power during shifts. The 1 to 2 shift is insane, I only have you by less than a tenth...
It a rare even that bone stock 18/19's with the 10r80 go into the 11's without a damn good DA. Mine has gone 12.0 with a 2500 DA which makes sense unless you're in Florida where those rat bastards get low DA a lot through the year, often into the negatives. While at either Byron, IL or GLD...
I can see your points, but I want it anyway! The complexity is there now anyway, most can't work on these new cars like we could back in the day anyway. Back in 1985 changing an engine was easy peasy, I could probably with time pull the Coyote to replace it but I would be worried about it and...
