AM wheels for the most part just seem like cheap wheels, its always 50/50 if you'll have problems with them. On the other hand, SVE wheels seems to be great quality for a decent price.
Oops, didn’t read that I guess. If we are looking at cheap tires, on the Explorer ST side of things Aturo and Lionhearts seem pretty decent for the price.
Whine is inefficiency for a supercharger. More whine, more inefficiency. The superchargers nowadays are so efficient that the whine is pretty much nonexistent, and the Foster SC mod may help but in order to do so there are the hissing sounds that must come with the increased supercharger sound.
If you’re doing install yourself, VMP, Whipple, or Roush are going to be pretty involved. I’d recommend looking at ESS, they’re pretty budget friendly and install is a lot easier.
More info needed. What tune does the JLT come with? Is it just a canned SCT tune? If so it won’t make much of a difference.
The Ford Performance tune that is included with the CAI and TB is going to be extremely conservative and probably not worth the price.
Any supercharger, as long as it’s...
Suspension is going to be a huge part of the traction part. The NT555R2s are going to do a great job as long as they have heat in them. Steeda stop the hop kit or something similar will help a lot. I’d look into that first.
Modding anything beyond stock has the possibility to shorten the life of the motor. If you treat it nice though and keep it within safe limits you’ll be fine. Tire size is only part of the story, tire compound is what matters the most. You don’t necessarily need new tires, it’s just a matter of...
People don’t realize how important bed in processes are on performance brakes, or any brakes for that fact. Appreciate you sharing this, should be helpful to a lot of people.
Well the front calipers do look considerably larger then the older pp1 to my eyes. The rears are going to be really hard probably because the S650s have a rear electronic emergency brake instead of the manual one on the S550.
