Honestly I'm done with the issues with the car. It's going up for sale. The performance of the car is NOW absolutely stellar with all of the modifications. Power delivery is fantastic and it pulls very well without power fade like it did when stock. Engine response is nearly instantaneous and at...

Here it is in all it's glory...on top of everything else.

So I took it back and made them fix the issues. They replaced the shifter knob, hammered the spacer plate flat (didn't replace it because they would have to drop the trans again and it was out of stock everywhere) and found the 3" access plug in their shop and put it back in. So I've been...

Had the dealer do the first install attempt and re-used the OE slave. Bled the system properly, bolted it all up and scraaappeee. One of the disks was constantly dragging when the pedal was fully depressed. And we know for a fact it was fully compressing the diaphragm spring because mine had...

I just have to post my experience out of pure frustration and the fact that is disturbingly humerus to me...so I have a 2016 Mustang GT with factory optioned Performance Package and Rear Park Assist in Ruby Red and I"ll start off with it's history first. I bought the car in Dec. of 2018 with...

Also you might have issues with you POS evap hose clutch line. Ford literally used the polymer evap hose with aluminum fittings on the ends for the clutch line that passes through the fire wall, into the engine bay close to the driver side header, then over the drivers side catalytic converter...

You may be suffering the effects of oil vaporization and friction losses. Even a bone stock 2nd gen 5.0 has notable issues with power fade due to oil vaporization. Car and Driver stated it was their only test car that day on their 2.7 mile track that experienced power fade despite "nothing being...

I would make sure they aren't way out of orientation. Some of the rubber boots on the end links (like the tension links or lateral links) are wire tied to the spindles. So the boots twist as the link rotates. If you don't install them straight, the boot will be extremely bound up and fail much...

Just wanted to add a fact. I did the Steeda Bump Steer and Roll Center correction kit with stock PP struts and BMR SP080 springs (will change over to SP083 + FP Track Dampers once the PP struts are worn out). Had alignment done according to BMR recommendations but with 1/16th toe out for better...

Take a look at this. This is a real time cycle by cycle analysis from E3 plugs. See the peaks? That's when toque is made, but notice how it fades as the piston travels down and the flame front burns out (consequently pressure drops). Those pressure curves of the combustion chamber closely...

Agreed. That's why I said what I said. Power matters. Not torque. Torqe and RPM just determine where the greatest power is made and consequently the most work is done. A engine making only 1 ft-lb of torque but that revs out to 100,000 RPM is making 19 HP while an engine producing 10 ft-lbs of...

It all depends. As others have said, if your not revving it out regularly, Power Pack 2 will serve you better. Also on shorter road courses Power Pack 2 will also serve you better if your don't re-gear the car. Where the car makes power matters as much as how much average power it makes. With...

And also my foil tape / flashing mod to cover the gasp at the inlet tube to the intake (I forgot to take a pic when I had the bumper off, but you can see it decently well to get the idea). It may not look super sexy, but you can't really see it normally and it gets the job done. Maybe we could...

I did the GT350 Air Box cover mod a little differently. I also followed the advice and used a card board cut out to get the general shape first. Basically, what I did was create a "floating cover" design that isn't super sensitive to twisting of the cover, and it will maintain it's seal even if...

And here's a Gen 3 5.0 stock to the CAI'ed LT1 (otherwise stock)...yah it's slower in the 1/4 by 2-3 tenths still, but that's because of the gearing, suspension tuning and weight. That same car beats the pants off the SS in 1/2 mile drag races and 1 mile top speed runs (beat the SS by four car...

Maybe with Riemann Sums. RM can integrate anything now with the massive and cheap computing power now available. Normally what I do is an area compare. I just shift the graph of one engine dyno back or forward over the same RPM span so we can see the actual differences in area under the curves...

I misunderstood, I thought you had meant version 3.0...my bad :crackup:

By the way, this is why Power Pack 3 will dominate in any absolute performance metric assuming your geared to compact the power bad. The Power Pack 3 power graphs show how much engine power is applied over each gear in sequence (just assuming running straight through the gears). On higher speed...

Version 4.2 is the most current ProCal software. It allows full data logging plus all the other goodies like clearing DTC's, rear axel ratio changes, revs per mile adjustment for different tire sizes etc.

That's what I thought, just thought it was odd they listed it under my VIN. But I suppose it's for the reason you mentioned, even if not an OE option, it's technically a bolt on part. FTE's solution thought, I agree, is probably a much better value and also lower in weight. Their entire kit sans...
