0.150mm to .500mm (.006" to .020") is spec for connecting rod side-clearance. Use some feeler gauges and measure the clearance at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock.
My '17 Mustang has a build date of July 2017 and has made this sound from day 1. The symptoms can always be found under part throttle, up to 2000rpm, while rolling in gear (MT82) at light loads or when under no load out of gear. I have always used the OE filter and run Penzoil Platinum 5W20. I...
I run a standard height MGW race spec. The quality and completeness of the kit was really impressive. Not many companies would include genuine Dynamat and Loctite branded products when they could save money there. The machining and fit of the shifter was superb and is clearly a well thought out...

These are the best jack stands I have ever come across. Definitely a buy once, cry once purchase. They're tall, use a flat rubber pad at the...
I was going to send this feedback to Holley, but after looking around on their site I'll be damned if I could find a form or email dedicated to product feedback, so here goes...
I was curious about this CAI and ordered one from Summit on a whim. My car isn't back on the road yet - because...
You are correct. I got my numbers from the MotoIQ reviews but failed to notice that they specify a peak and "effective" (lower) rev limit for each pack. Not sure what is going on there :shrug:
Given that, they list PP1 @ 7100, see the link below...
PP1 = 7300rpm
PP2 = 7350rpm
PP3 = 7500rpm
I am not sure if they implement a two-step rev limit (e.g., fuel and spark cut) or if it's just a spark cut. I do know that they aren't a soft limiter like on the stock tune though.
I run the standard Race Spec MGW shifter with an Amsoil MTF fluid fill and can confirm similar results. That shifter was the best money I ever spent modding the car.
As a means of troubleshooting it might be worth doing a temporary sound tube delete. The intake resonator and Roush axle back frequencies might be interacting at certain engine speeds and thus creating the drone you speak of.
For what it is worth, I would steer clear of SR Performance products. They offer budget pricing but they also plagiarize the hell out of the competition. Proof of that can be found by looking up SR's IRS cradle lockout kit; it's a blatant duplication of BMR Suspension's kit. If you really need a...
How do you like the routing of the MAF wire with the Holley intake? In all the videos and images it looks like a person would have to open the Y in that loom up a bit for it to look clean and proper. That and perhaps add a new stay to the airbox so it isn't just dangling front-row-center.
Getting back to the actual topic...
Anyone care to chime in on the drivability, reliability, or other general quirks of the Edelbrock kit? I daily my car year round in Canada, so absolute power is low on my care list.
Any belt alignment or tensioner issues? Cold or hot start quirks? Frequent...

I sent the Edelbrock tech a direct message a couple weeks back with some questions because I didn't want to start a thread on here that got muddied by all of the this Whipple White-Knight BS.
For what it is worth, Edelbrock got right back to me and answered all of my questions thoroughly.
It would help to isolate a few facts here...
LS1 piston slap, especially among the smaller 4.8 and 5.3 variants was a well documented issue. People need to remember that when GM rolled out the Gen 3 small block, it was a clean sheet design. Aluminum block (in some applications) with low tension...
A forged piston needs more cold clearance than a cast or hypereutectic piston. Piston alloy also plays a large role when deciding on clearances, as does the block material and cylinder liner design.
I have built many 4.500" bore Brand-X motors with forged, 2618 alloy pistons and loooong...
I had some time to kill on my lunch break and took a look at a print-off of Holley's dyno sheet.
Ignoring their peak gains, if those dyno graphs are to be trusted it looks like:
2500-6500 the average gains are: 11hp, 15ft lbs.
3000-6500 the average gains are: 13hp, 17ft lbs.
4000-6500 the...
As someone who is currently doing research into options for boosting my daily driven Mustang, I have a few questions:
1) How much boost is the kit producing to make those numbers?
2) How large is your heat exchanger and reservoir?
3) Do you offer this kit in a form that can be customer installed?
