And if the current rumors are true. FP isnt really developing any kits; they are grouping existing parts into a packages to sell as a kits.[/quote

Been reading this post for a long time now and still nothing. There must be a lot of vacation time being taken @ Ford engineering.
Three weeks ago I took things into my own hands is all I want to say.

He send FP an electronic phallic symbol with GT350 Tech package painted on it. He also emptied and sealed the battery compartment, so it couldn't be used to its fullest potenitial.

Facebook GT350 Owners group, a couple people every week are having their filters come loose. Coolers might be the least of our worries.

Well a cooler coming loose on a Track pack will be covered under warranty. An aftermarket solution for us won't be warrantied. This is why most of the concern Tech owners want Ford to come up with a cooler solution and fully warranty it.

I'm assuming they are talking about oil filters. Have to be sure the techs torque them down to spec otherwise they tend to shake loose. Some people on this forum have had some issues right after first oil change. One guy caught it in his garage so that was fortunate.

That reply wasn't me. It was 5.0 435 that said he did something but didn't want to get booted from the forum.

Spoke with a rep from Ford Performance at the American Muscle show today. It seems the hold up on a final solution is final packaging. They are still not 100% sure on how to offer the kits. Much debate over what's included in each kit. Do they just tackle the trans or did the rear diff as well? I said I think most people would be happy with a kit that could get us through the typical 20 minutes HPDE session with cool down between sessions. So chime in if I'm right or wrong! They do read the forums and trust me they made it clear they want to fix the mistake the marketing team made.

I like to disassemble things.
Offer the trans related hardware first, gauge reaction, with a plan in place to offer something for the differential as well. Adjust accordingly.

Now get cracking FR!

You don’t want to know

A week or so ago FP told me the diff cooler would be coming after the two trans options, but I got the distinct impression not much work has been done on the diff cooler. :shrug:
