  1. 2018 5.0 Cyl 2 4 Misfire & Random Mild Overheating

    I had a misfire on #4 that would only happen on track days. Flashing CEL, eventually the code would stick, the CEL would stay on and it would pull power. This would happen on every session, usually within the first couple of laps. What eventually worked for me was executing a Misfire Monitor...
  2. Radiator fan tune

    Thank you for the info, I have nothing empirical, just anecdotal on the fan speeds. When I get back to town I'll set up a tune and try to walk the fans up a step at a time, that would be interesting to see.
  3. Radiator fan tune

    I was under the impression that the fans only had two speeds (high, low). Is it actually possible to set the percent to whatever you want? And when does the oem thermostat open up? I searched but didn't spot the answer. I thought it was 190 but I'm second guessing myself.
  4. Radiator fan tune

    I think at 190 they will be running 100% of the time once warmed up. That's a lot of utilization for probability not much benefit at that temp. It takes energy from the motor to run the fans so you sacrifice that power basically all the time (unless WOT in which case I think they turn off). I...
  5. Driving Gloves

    Haha I know, if you can get past the tacticool look, they are really good gloves!
  6. Driving Gloves

    In the winter I really like these: Magpul Flight Gloves In summer and for track days these are great for me since my hands sweat all the time lol: Mechanix Gloves
  7. Mach 1 Hp parts

    Thanks TJ!
  8. Mach 1 Hp parts

    It is true, we will see. On the DSC Sport website they say 12 month warranty, so I hope I get at least the same from Steeda. I have read the stories about a few failed units here so I keep the OEM unit handy. I didn't find a lot of stories about failed DSC units on other boards though with a...
  9. Mach 1 Hp parts

    As others have mentioned, the general consensus seems to be that the magneride controller has the same calibration across several platforms. So you don't have to change anything else along with the springs if you don't want to. I even chose to keep the hollow rear sway bar since I'll never run...
  10. What are some Quality of Life addons for a new GT owner?

    So I have the 9-speaker system (not B&O, and no sub) which *is* a common setup. The center speaker channel takes the Left and Right stereo channels, sums them together, and high-passes it at like 1kHz. To my ears, this makes for a screaming, mid-rangy, washy mess of vocals and guitars right in...
  11. What are some Quality of Life addons for a new GT owner?

    Disconnect the center speaker if you like listening to music.
  12. Touch-up paint for Apex Satin Bronze?

    Thanks! Since mine are track-duty, maybe I'll just let each patch of bare alloy shine through like a badge of honor haha.
  13. Touch-up paint for Apex Satin Bronze?

    They said their arrangement with the supplier prevents giving out that information. Let us know how well it matches up. I am not looking for perfection, but close would be nice.
  14. Mach 1 Hp parts

    I can confirm the front and rear springs from your list. Those are the only HP parts I've ordered/installed.
  15. Touch-up paint for Apex Satin Bronze?

    I was curious if anyone has had any luck touching up the paint on Apex wheels in satin bronze? I emailed Apex but they were unable to give me a color code. They did recommend going to a paint/body shop which I will also look into.
  16. Steeda camber plates not allowing for less negative camber?

    Speaking as someone with a non-HP car and Steeda camber plates installed, you will need to make the holes in the strut tower larger if you want the full range of adjustment from the plates. Several members here have done it including myself, and there is even a tool sold by Steeda to cut the...
  17. Front driver's side suspension noise

    I hit a monster pothole on Moreland Ave this past Friday. I have now joined the brake-clunking and low-speed-creaking club. Hope to check things out next weekend. OP have you had any luck with yours?
  18. Mach1 owners with the Tremec: when do you shift to 6th gear....

    6th gear at 43 mph is pretty laughable for anything other than coasting down a hill.
  19. VCM Scanner: how to monitor Knock Count and Retard?

    Just to follow up and close out the issue, HP Tuners support was able to add in support for my ECU/OS to VMC Scanner. With the latest beta release, I am able to select and use all of the expected extra channels as desired.
  20. Mach1 owners with the Tremec: when do you shift to 6th gear....

    Normally, I only use 6th gear if I'm over 70 mph and I use that as my downshift point as well. I have experienced the lugging/hesitation you mention and try to avoid that at all costs. I also think that the carbon trap in the 22+ air intakes make it worse. I have a long history of owning 4...
