If ignition timing is the same between the two setups, yes-- lower cylinder pressure on the lower compression motor. However, you'll need more timing in the lower compression setup to achieve the same HP as the higher compression motor thus creating the same cylinder pressure.

So, is that Planet Ford 45?

Ive never heard anyone say this, ever. Buzzkill? Come on, mang! You needed better tires bud!

No wrong choices if you are doing a max-effort drag build. Centri, PD, turbos... all will deliver MORE than you could imagine. For a street build/occasional track day, PD blower or turbos with lots of cooling. Centri is boring AF on the street. Sorry... my experience with one SUCKED. Belt...

OMG anther thread on this? Hilarious. Absolutely hilarious, these guys. Wow.

The punchline of the article is "buy Driven racing oil".

A "ford muscle" article full of GM LS1 pictures selling the "Driven" oil brand. SMH. It's almost impossible to find pure, factual, non biased articles these days whether is automotive or world news. Almost impossible.

I'll also add... the fact that you got a CHECK ENGINE light from excessive knock should be alarming to you. This is not normal.

You obviously have 0 understanding of whats happening so ill do my best to no be rude. Your car is 12:1 compression and these motors routinely test at 215 psi or better. Any time there is a load on the motor-- and no, not necessarily "flooring it" (going up hill, short shifting leading to a...

Wait... 87 octane... what?? Dont EVER do that. Ever.

Spot on Car is running where it should. Continue to enjoy it as is, or slowly build it as youre doing, OP, and monitor/document progress. Or get serious and add boost :)

I don't remember there being RTV on the pan itself.. .maybe at a couple joints at the bottom of the front cover. But If I remember right, the oil pan has a reusable o ring around the entire pan negating the need to use RTV on an oil pan drop and replace.

Ive made 900+ on the dyno but usually run around town on a 750hp setting. Trans is fine at 14k miles (11k with turbos) but my 3-4 shift has a bit of a flare when cold. I know ill need to build a trans at some point.

Will a Ranger Raptor tow a GT350? Sure it will. Will that experience be a positive, confidence inspiring one? No, no it won't. Buy a bigger truck.

Right, then can you really say it was Ford's fault 50k miles after you ran it low on fluid?

I guess the only point Im making is its impossible to know unless the trans is torn down and assessed. To me -- if it was my car -- considering how little I trust anyone with my shit other than me -- there is no way im letting some 19 y/o "service tech" swap a trans in my $100k Mustang. That...

I don't agree that the trans had 0 fluid. Extremely low, yes obviously. The only thing to worry about would be clutches and until you see those in person, it is impossible to assert what is "getting it done right". Unless he was in the middle of beating the shit out of the car (doesn't sound...

ROFL relax. The repair will be documented and OP will have history to lean on if/when the trans ultimately fails (unlikely).

Do what??

Thanks for the chemistry lesson -- only to agree with what I posted. lol Nice job
