Just looking for feedback on both setups. I've been leaning towards the former for a while, but I"ve also seen a lot of good feedback on the latter. I believe the latter will provide slightly better track performance with roughly the same street comfort. It is my understanding that on the dual...

Got a P0420 code yesterday, Bank 1 Sensor 2 (post cat). Running a Ford Performance Power Pack 2 for the last 5,500 miles without any issues. I'm not at 22,900 miles on the car. Runs perfect except for the code that just popped up, fuel mileage is still very good (28-27 highway) and what I've...

Anyone else have any other suggestions for the MT-82? My 2nd gear still some times refuses to go in when cold. It feels like it's in gear, but then nothing but free wheeling and grinding because the sycnro won't engage. I'm already running BG SyncroShiftII, which helped overall smoothness...

Alright gents, I've been slowly pushing the car harder on some beautiful empty country back roads (no drive ways, clear views, two sweeping turns etc.) and I pushed it harder than I have before recently. I've noticed some characteristics that I'm not fond of. Now there's obviously a bunch of...

I'm looking for something a little more detailed other than "it handles good". Things like turn in, mild or moderate push (aka under steer), corner exit etc. I'm going to do a re-work of my PP GT suspension and OE GT350 parts are cheap to acquire. At the present time I'm thinking BMR SP083...

I've been running the Red Steeda Differential bushing inserts for the past several months. I ran the same kit in my Ecoboost without any issues. But on my PP GT just yesterday (Sunday), when starting from a stop light I heard a loud "thunk" in the rear end. At first my wife and I thought maybe...

Title says it all. On PP struts and sway bars. No idea where it's at now, I do have camber / caster plates so I can add more camber than factory specs if necessary and adjust caster as well. I find it interesting that the factory PP camber specs are -1.03 front and -1.5 rear. I would have...

Due to new summer tires soon. I am looking to track the car a few times a year, nothing crazy, just for fun. I'll be using 275/40R19's on some RTR Tech 7 19x9.5 wheels in a 4 square setup for street / casual track. I've read a few reviews of the Pilot Sport 4S's not doing so well and...

Out of sheer morbid curiosity, has anyone ever figured out why all the GT's in the review mags are 100 lbs to 150 lbs HEAVIER than the base weights stated by Ford? BMR scaled a 2015 6M PP and 2015 6A Base. 6M came in at 3736 on their scale and 6A at 3704. 2015-2017 GT 6M Base: 3705 lbs...

For sale here is a 1 year old Corsa Extreme full cat back exhaust with double x-pipe and all the necessary mounting hardware. I actually love the sound of the exhaust as do my wife and kids surprisingly, it's just too loud for my area and frequency of use and I'm running into some issues with...

Primarily a street car, but some Auto X for fun. I'm currently running the factory PP wheels and Pirellie tires. After having spent most of the winter, all of the spring and some of the summer with my RTR Tech 7 wheels and Pilot Sport tires, I noticed how much the PP GT seems to tramline...

Just some heavy hooning around on back roads even with stock tune I can get my oil temps pretty close to the "yellow" on the idiot gauge and cylinder head temps get into mid to high 220's. I am slowly prepping the car for auto x and possibly a little track fun at either Gingerman or MidOhio (not...

Just wanted to share some experiences in what I've found that most improved the shifting feel of the MT-82. I've done shifter brakets (blowfish), short throws (ford peformance), manual gear lube and diff bushings on both an Ecoboost and a GT. Now this is more of a street car setup than a...

I've read a few people say the 275's provide better steering feedback on a 19" wheel over the 285's. My guess would be that because 275's ideal rim width is 9.5" where the 285's ideal rim width is 10", the sidewall is at a more optimal angle, but that's just speculation. What are you running...

This is a great article that describes the architecture of the S550 suspension. Everything we change has an impact. Obviously the IRS has some design traits that we may or may not like. Wheel hop is one of them, but the compliance of the IRS has a reason and not all of it is simply NVH...

Going to start Auto X this year once it stops snowing...if it stops snowing! 2018 CAM rules allow suspension mods unrestricted as well as engine. Tires must be UTG 200+ treadware. Obviously street tires for a daily are not going to provide the grip level of something like an RE-71R etc. I'll...

I did a bit of digging and only found a few people who tried a 2nd gear launch back on the S197's, they never really worked to find the sweet spot however and only tried it one or two times. Why 2nd? Because you can't put down the power in first. That means your wasting time. You want to use as...

Engine is stock. Only mods not related to suspension / handling (done by the previous owner of the car) is a Corsa Sport Cat back exhaust. Bought it used with only 5,500 miles on it. Currently has 8500 on it. Oil was changed by the dealer it was traded into at 5,500 (OLI said 16% remaining on...

I realize this has somewhat been gone through with some searching on the forum, but I did not find anything conclusive. I don't recall this issue on my ecoboost mustang ever occurring. 1-2 shifts when cold, it will sometimes feel like it's into gear but wont and just end up grinding. Happened...

This question really only applies to those with PP brakes on a GT (6 piston Brembos up front). Recently I've noticed this strong burning smell which I thought at first to be originating from the engine. After a through look through, it was dry as a bone (dealer said same thing when I took it...
