What I'm going to type is going to hairlip a bunch of people, but as usual, I don't care. I'm BETTING, that the OEM calibration has features that would allow for a safety stop concerning this phenomenon. But the vast majority of tuners (yes, even the usual suspects that have everyone swinging...

There's absolutely no way I'd prefer to run this basket over the Radium, for a number of reasons. Right off the bat, if you want to service your "filter" instead of swapping out an in line filter, you now have to pull the basket. Nope. Second, this isn't an improvement over the Radium. The...

Several things. 1) While width is important, it's not as important as sidewall. Thin(ner) sidewalls break traction more because they're meant for lateral stability (where the car loads properly and cuts on the outside edge). They're unforgiving to shock loading in a forward direction. So...

All the smart people are gone at Ford. It doesn't take a marketing genius to know that aftermarket mods drive new sales. But in the modern cloud of dust that is EV's, I'm sure some over paid MBA is blaming the lack of mustang sales on EV's. If you create a car that's beloved to the enthusiast...

Wouldn't they want to use multiple keys for OPSEC when/if the key is ever leaked? If you use a singular key and it's leaked, it's much harder to start the investigation of who leaked it.

A track centric car, with a cage, rear seat delete, CC brake package, CF driveshaft, Tubular K member, Battery Relocation (tastefully) etc, etc, and a better price point would have certainly been much more in keeping with the "GT350" legacy, even with the coyote. But again, I'm sure they've run...

Perhaps, but with exhaust scavenging on the same size header primary and catless back system, we're talking a couple of hp at most. It would be a similar comparison to a set of 1-7/8" long tube primaries vs equal length long tubes. Does it yield some improvements? Probably, but it's tiny...

In any case, it has the typical heavy counterweights of a CPC. Look at every other FPC crank, they don't have them because it's inherently balanced (primary) but features a secondary imbalance, which leads to limits on engine size and applications for "race only" because your typical passenger...

The voodoo isn't a true FPC. That's the problem. It has a basterdized firing order. This has been covered in excruciating pain on other threads. There's a reason the GM FPC sounds like a Ferrari and the voodoo sounds like, well, a voodoo. EDIT: And as for the second part, no one has...

I own a voodoo and being honest, other than the sound, it was an overall failure. It was the worst of both designs, the heavy counterweights of a cross plane without the inherent balancing which created significant vibrations (and no advantages for rotational limits). It's as if someone said...

Pretty much. It's the same with "crate motors." For what your general run of the mill crate motor costs, you could have twice the motor and come out ahead. But crate motor purchases are for guys that are moderately into cars and don't want the hassle of truly bespoke builds. At any rate, as...

I think we're getting lost in the minutia here. Regardless of what Shelby has done in the past, the question remains, are the products they're releasing good value? If I took a Mustang GT and put a body kit on it and sold it for $15k more than the price of the base mustang, is that a good...

The problem with "staying positive" is that you're distorting the market. Every reaction to a product is feedback to those that participate in the market. So if someone creates a less than stellar product and people go "gee shucks, it's better than the alternative" that's not the quite the...

Yup, same progression in satellite radio

I have less issue with free for view services and what they do, but what's particularly offensive is how we eventually go from (it's free, you must suffer through revenue generating adverts, but if you pay you can watch uninterrupted...............to.................hey, thanks for your...

This is a bit of battered wife syndrome. Regardless of what is happening in the car market at large, people are right to judge a product based upon A) How much it costs B) How much you get and C).a. How this compares to previous product versions and C).b. how this compares to other...

Not sure it's that simple. Many people suffer from various types and dimensions of OCD, it's not always debilitating. If you don't like your food to mix on your plate. If you insist that the mustard or ketchup be evenly spread rather than lumped in one spot and it stresses you out to see...

Fair. I think that blown mustangs have become so common that they're a bit yawnworthy now. No one's all that impressed with a blown motor anymore. So in that vein, they'd have been much better off taking that slug of money and putting it into track centric modifications.

Haha, no, it's the obvious troll/isht stirrers.

I rarely silence or defriend people, but there are a very select few that I give up on and use the "ignore" feature in this forum. So I can't see their content anymore;)
