I was tuned by Lund a little over two years ago, I have a basic bolt-on / E85 setup so I'm sure my tune was a clone of many others. From my research and talking with local Mustang owners in the beginning, I was torn between Lund and PBD who seemed like the top two Coyote tuners. I chose Lund...
Yes, per my other response strength has been good and no real issues. Good observation on the prop rod versus struts. So I had MMD hood struts in place with my factory hood and for some reason I couldn't get the new hood to sit flush with the fenders with those hood struts mounted. So first I...
The strength is good and it doesn't seem to flex. It's fiberglass so it's never going to be as strong as steel or aluminum but it's been fine one year in so far. The only issue Ive had is around the area where I mounted hood pins. On one side I over-tightened the round push button disc and it...
Trufiber makes a great heat-extractor hood. Its not practical for everyone but if your car isnt a daily driver and you want it for appearance and/or track purposes then I highly recommend it. They offer an optional rain guard for the main center vent but there is nothing to cover the side...
One of the main differences in hood struts is the directional orientation they mount. Some face the same direction as the open hood and others are opposite. I originally had MMD struts with my stock hood (open hood direction) and they worked fine, but when I went with an aftermarket hood I...
Finally installed the GT500 bumper conversion onto my 2020 GT about 6 weeks ago and despite dealing with some fitment issues and adjustments I'm happy with the outcome. This bumper is from Function Factory Performance in AZ and they claim its their own version of this bumper, but from what I...
I have a 2020 manual. My mods are Roush CAI, catless long tube headers, full 3" exhaust with H-pipe and E85 tune from Lund Racing. I havent dyno'd the car since it was stock (426whp stock) but based on other people with similar mods I suspect Im somewhere around 480-490, maybe 500 on a good...
If tuning wasnt adjusted for each manifold then you definitely have a valid point. However, the article mentions "Eddie Rios of Addiction Motorsports handled our tuning with the use of HP Tuners software; Steve Brule of Westech Performance made the dyno pulls on our Coyote. During our tests we...
Exactly, the CJ only outperformed the Gen3/2018 manifold in average HP but the Gen3 manifold outperformed the CJ in peak HP, peak Torque and average Torque. Very interesting.
If you don't mind me asking how much are you paying for the Roush kit and installation? I really want a Whipple but the Roush's are intriguing for price point and possibility of retaining warranty.
Excellent article, I've seen similar but this one is great. Very interesting that the 2018 manifold beats the CJ on peak HP, peak TQ and average TQ. The CJ's only advantage on a Gen 3 is average HP. I wonder how the 2018 mani stacks up when ported? As a Gen 3 owner I could never justify the...
Its sort of both. Its the stock grill frame but I cut out all of the plastic honeycomb and installed a black steel mesh kit purchased from customcargrills.com . The process wasnt exactly quick or easy but it would have been a lot better if their 'kit' didnt require the adjustments I had to...
Agree 100%. I don't see how anyone can call this a wasteful purchase, these things work and in the grand scheme they are a cheap addition and so simple to install
I have drone with my MBRP H-pipe and I did the sound tube delete a long time ago. The drone only started after removing the axle-back portion of my MBRP Race setup which had J-pipe resonators built into it (I replaced those with Borla S-type mufflers to cut down on the insane volume after...
Does anyone have or know anything about aftermarket valved exhaust like the ones shown here for cars that didnt come with OEM active exhaust? Apparently there are two types, one that is controlled with small electric motors and the other type is controlled with small compressor and vacuum hoses...
