  1. How excessive is this rod

    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.
  2. Motor tick....

    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...
  3. What shifter steeda MGW or barton

    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...
  4. Best car jack and stands?

    https://www.amazon.com/10498-PAIR-Equipment-10498-Capacity-Stands/dp/B01J5ZB8K6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1529502242&sr=8-1&keywords=esco+jack+stands+10498 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...
  5. Holley iNTECH CAI hp & lb·ft claim

    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...
  6. Power pack 1 rev limiter

    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...
  7. Power pack 1 rev limiter

    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.
  8. Bad drone from Roush AB

    Twice he said that he drives an auto... :doh:
  9. Stock vs. Blowfish bracket vs. Steeda Tri-Ax vs. MGW vs. MGW + BG Syncroshift II

    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.
  10. Bad drone from Roush AB

    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.
  11. Holly Cold Air Intake Kit

    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...
  12. Holley iNTECH CAI hp & lb·ft claim

    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.
  13. Edelbrock 2650 Stage 2 10.57@135

    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...
  14. Edelbrock 2650 Stage 2 10.57@135

    X2 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.
  15. Piston Slap - the elephant in our rooms

    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...
  16. Piston Slap - the elephant in our rooms

    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...
  17. Holley iNTECH CAI hp & lb·ft claim

    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...
  18. Livernois S675 package!

    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?
