The oil I use now is hugely better than any other oil.

Sounds about right for the phase 2. Mine was around 640. Upgraded injectors, cooling system,, etc. to go beyond the phase 2 as strongly suggested by the tuner. At the time I remember that the math showed the 47’s to be nearing their limit

I run Torco just to create a safety margin with the Roush. It’s VMP tuned. Not sure I’d use it with the Roush tunes as they’re rather conservative.

$900 on ebay

Your call. I wouldn’t. If you’re like most this won’t be the last tune. I’d just go ahead with the ID1000’s or DW 95’s or similar. Give you some nice room for growth. Mathematically the 47’s are tapped out where you’re at. The 56’s may get you one more upgrade.

I’m also running the 75mm pulley and the original phase 2 installed BAP

I think anything above the Phase 2 will likely require larger injectors. I went to a VMP custom tune after the Phase 2 (original 47’s) and Brenspeed installed Deatschwerk 95lb injectors for the upgrade. On a 93 tune I’m right at 700rwhp. Not sure there is a cut and dried hp limit but both...

I did bushings and the BMR kit on top of many other things to remove some of the slop from the IRS. My car is an NVH machine though I can’t honestly tell you how much belongs to which pieces. If it was a DD I wouldn’t be happy, as it is its OK for weekend fun. I would seriously consider leaving...

$137k. I guess if this is what you’re looking for, collectibility, Shelby name, etc. then go for it. It’s a beautiful car.

I’ve had the Ridetechs for quite some time. I’m basically 2 miles from them and served as an early R&D car for some other stuff. I liked them initially because they create another mounting point for the rears. They are a huge improvement over the original PP stuff both stock and with lowering...

Forgot to mention, 75mm Roush pulley, 95lb Deatschwerks, 93 tune. 750 rwhp should be easy and will likely be as far as I care to go

I do. Rather conservative probably for my setup at 690 rwhp. Car idles fine, hasn’t stalled, more responsive to throttle input. These were all intermittent issues with the Roush phase 1 and 2 tunes. I’m happy with the VMP tune and plan on another this spring.

MMR here. Haven’t heard anything about this. Sure don’t want to take it apart to look. Subbed for info

Can’t imagine anyone bragging about the early PP cars. Any additional power (FI) easily overpowered the stock suspension which wasn’t that good to begin with. I had lowering springs on with PP dampers (not recommended) for a week with only 570 rwhp and the rear suspension was comically bad.

Thought about it. Stayed with black. Do like the bronze though

Yes. Love the guard, though not always popular with others

Actually you needed more power. 800+ should do it. You would have just spun the tires on the poorly prepared street surface and avoided the accident entirely. If I were you I’d just repair it. With the messy front end off you could go ahead with a good aftermarket radiator and heat exchanger...

Nope. Not yet. Just wanted a clean slate for upgrades. Had the parts ordered before I picked it up at the dealer.

Ford really doesn’t have a choice on the auto or manual debate. The automotive press will say they wish it was a manual then bash it in the same article for “disappointing times” at the strip and track. Basically every high end performance car comes with an automatic now. They are trying to...

I did. 94 miles on the odometer and laying in pieces on a garage floor.
