Make sure to pressure test your fuel system, coolant and oil systems before putting everything back together because Murphy's law says that you will get a leak from that one fitting or hose that you need to remove 200 things to get access to. Has happened to this 🙋♂️guy!
Looking good...
None in my Mustang....but again, I don't go speeding around, plus it's a death trap on the street wheels/tires lol. That alone is a deterrent from pinning the right pedal down.
First photo is the Day I bought it in 2020 BONE STOCK (except the Roush axleback and a Barton shifter) right before Covid craziness and the other photos is what it looks like now.
I have an SVE radiator in mine. I just thought I should upgrade my stock radiator when I went forced induction. I thought it looked ridiculously puny but many people run on the stock radiator just fine. I just did it because I was already in there. It was on clearance because it was missing the...
Man...everything is so tight in there. I hope your heat mitigation is on point because these cars sure as heck like to cook the engine bay. Do you have a vented hood?
BTW...amazing progress. I check every 2-3 weeks and you're making killer progress each time, which is great.
Get a crew cab F150. It's versatile. You can carry your fishing gear in it, it has space for the baby AND you can make it a hotrod. My old F150 below. Made 955whp. 10.1 in the 1/4 mile on the street. 100% stock engine and 100% stock trans. All the street manners....and your grandma could drive...
I always use manifold or the intercooler pipe (post FMIC) as the source for boost reference. It works best from there in my experience in several platforms.
This morning. OKC. E15 88 is about $0.15 cheaper than E10 87. My Mustang and DSM both run on E85 all year around. That is less than $3/gall. Around $2.79/gall last time I filled up. The no ETH kstuff is probably up there. I don't even look at that.
I will have to go and recheck my old logs. I distinctly remember not seeing full boost on that setup until the upper RPMs. The boost curve was not flat. I know it was something I didn't care too much about....but the 10R80 helped mask some of that.
