Apologies if the answers to my pretty basic questions are somewhere buried in this forum, but I'm finally going to have my car paint corrected (17, black, parked outdoors, paint in OK but not great condition) and ceramic coated. I've got a few quotes from professional places and there are some...
Just rereading a C&D article I loved when I was younger, a drag race between a GMC Syclone (a ācarā I lusted for) and a Ferrari 348. The Syclone was hugely impressive at the time for its amazing torque, launch, 0-60 and quarter mile stats. It beat the Ferrari in a dig drag race, though the...
Car is for street only, no track time...the occasional pull on onramps. All of the cars Iāve had were fun but I always get used to the power. Besides the fact of having a supercharged coyote, Iāve found Flight control in Whipple tune kills that problem. Car dynoād at 650 whp (Dynojet, SAE...
Anyone in CA or OR or CO worried about driving their cars in areas with nearby wildfires with all the shyte floating around the air? Yes we have air filters and I have the provided āhigh flowā filter w the Whipple kit but god knows how much super fine particulate ash is getting through and...
When Whipple designers the Gen5, I know they went with an upside-down design to clear the 18+ hood and improve cooling with a 2-pass IC, but does anyone know why did they chose a 3/4 rotor pack vs the 3/5 from the gen 4? I canāt find any info on advantages.
Iāve heard from some sources that the 1 to 1 gear will show the best power and from others that the torque will be highest 1 to 1 but the power curve will converge at the top end. Anybody run the direct gear and another gear back-to-back? I ran in 5th (=direct on 15-17 mt82) and the torque was...
Does anyone know if we can ātestā the quality of gas in the tank without going WOT? As in monitoring some key PIDs on e.g. nGauge, going into boost at light/moderate throttle and looking for telltale signs? KnockR? Or do you have to really push it to know (which could suck...). Best case is...
Going FI soon. I know itās riskier than NA and Iām going to mitigate by installing opg/cs, catch can, but mostly by being careful how I drive and not hammer on it constantly and not until warm, etc. But my biggest worry is that sooner or later someone at a repair shop will take it for a ātest...
Iām probably getting FI on my 17 6M but not ever for drag racing, only for roll-on pulls in 2nd or 3rd. Probably getting a PD blower. Given the cost of the system and installation I want to minimize $ on wheels/tires, within reason, and not just spin them at WOT. Any advice on minimum useful...
I have a 2017 GT and have always dreamed of going FI, and I have an opportunity now. I know there's inherently plenty of risk involved but I want to be smart about it. I'll never track or drag, or even go WOT except from a roll. In other words, I'll minimize the mechanical shock as much as I...
If this has already been discussed to death, apologies.
There seems to be an impression out there that the GT350IM has zero advantages over a stock 18GT IM, in the low/mid range and even for peak power for a Coyote to 7500rpm (not Voodoo). There's a Car Craft article out there on a crate GT...
