Well, long story short, I change some phasers and had the 2nd tensioner fail on me while priming the engine resulting in the driver cams go 90* out of sync and valves kisses the pistons.
Heads are stock 53k miles Gen 2's with newly added PAC 1234x valve springs and I did a valve lapping job...
Hi all,
I finally got the car dynoed with my Procharged D1x RPG 5.2L build and it was pretty impressive.
Made 1012/671 STD or 977/648 SAE
Here's a quick 3rd gear pull which just blew the tires off (so added for sound) and a full 4th gear.
Hi all,
Like some I am building a fun ~1000w (solid 950w) street/drag car. Car started life as a P1X pump gas machine with headers and little mods here and there, and as time has progressed I installed a built T56 Magnum XL from American Powertrain, went to a D1x, and added a fuel system for...
Looking into a crank support but past posts stay they all require the removal of the front sway bar. Has there been any improvements in this area, in newer designs or aftermarket sway bars?
Thanks
Hi all,
I decided to put funds forward and buy an RPG shortblock. I don't have any insane goals yet, but I do want to stretch the legs more on my D1x setup. I made 830w/593tw last time I had my car on the dyno with a peak of 14-15psi. I feel it's a little low but others I spoke with said this...
Hi all,
So today out of the blue my car lost pedal and stalled... zero fuel pressure.
I have a Fore Innovations L2 dual pump system - 470 and 430lph on all the time running E85. I do not run a hobbs switch since I've heard too many horror stories. Anywho, the system has been flawless since...
So, I finally got around to installing my T56 swap into my 2015 Procharger Mustang. Bye bye MT82.
I went with the 2.66 1st and .50 6th, knowing I'd need a better gear in the back. Well using my factor 3.73's and 28.4" rear tires (305/35r20) I just want others to know that you do need more gear...
Hi all,
I’m ready to start over with my build in hopes of fixing something’s (trying to find reasons for my knock) and cleaning up the bay. I DO have plans for this car with the end goals to be south of 1000w. I do plan on purchasing an Aluminator or having my current engine forged to be able...
Hi all,
I have a Procharged Stage 2 HO kit (on the passenger side), which has a 3.6" grip tech 6 rib on it. Ultimately, with time, I plan on pushing it harder - 3.4" and OD lower - but at what time will the 6 rib give up?
Should I just piece together an 8 rib, similar to that of of a...
Hi all,
I was pretty set on going with a T56 swap in my 2015 3.73 car but now I'm just not sure over say a built MT82 because of the T56's WIDE gear ratio. I've done as much searching as my brain can handle so I just wanted to ask for those who went with the T56 if it's 'too much gear?' I do...
Hi all,
As some of you know I have had some interesting times with my car in the sense of tuning. Anything from 14+ revisions to software issues (on their end) to local tuners just doing a piss poor job and ghosting; to only come around when Discover comes into play... and, sadly, I know I am...
Hi all,
I decided to try Gates RPM series over there HD series to reduce belt stretch and achieve less belt slip on my 6 rib P1X setup. Well, after 6 months of ownership and maybe 5k miles it came apart - didn’t snap but started to unravel from the smooth portion which threw cotton-like...
Finally got my car strapped on the dyno with a new tuner after having some problems in the past. Not sure I’m 100% liking the torque numbers since it seems to be on the lower end… what do you all think? Good numbers or na?

Hi all,
I’m ready to make more power and ultimately have my car run better. I have a 2015 Mustang GT, manual and 3.73’s. It does have boost from a stage 2 Procharger P1X (3.8” pulley 6-rib, passenger mounted), in addition to FIC1000cc, 2018 manifold, and little odds and ends engine wise -...
