    Project Super Beater

    You know, the guy that invented the integral bellhousing should be fed his own testicles, once or twice and the rest of the engineering staff would fall right in line..

    FWIW, Bruce at FTBR is a pretty legendary Mustang guy, what did he have to say about it?

    Mustang Gt4 BoP

    I don't see how this is going to work. Checking times on the back straight at Mid O ( I forget the section) and even allowing for the TCR cars' better run off the corners, we're were about 27th out of 30plus GS cars, which means about 8 TCR cars were faster than us down that straight. On top...

    Project Super Trailer

    First 2800 mile trip with Superbeater, Supertruck and Supertrailer went off with nary an issue. I checked the axle bearings before I left because I didn't trust the factory, then greased them at the halfway mark through the zero fitting in the axle. Only glitch was that I used the J hooks to...

    Special edition diesel.

    So, I will never tow without this truck again.. The rain didn't faze it, quick stops didn't the crappy roads also didn't faze it. Anytime I needed, I could accelerate like the trailer was not even there. I'm so glad I didn't try this trip with my F150. It would've been fine in the flatlands...

    Project Super Beater

    Ok, the further adventures of Superbeater.. towed it 1400 miles to the gorgeous Pitt Race only to run about 20 laps. 18 turned, blind corners, great fun but really hard to remember without a lot of laps there. The fuel issue is gone, stuffing the saddle in the tank with fuel cell foam seems to...

    Cooling Upgrade - Modify Hood?

    Yes, this is the gold standard for hood vents, relatively cheap and proven to work.

    Bad Coyote piston. Why?

    Not sure, but I would tune conservatively, add plenty of cooling, even an oil cooler. There has been a lot of theories, but nothing concrete on this, injector issue? Some kind of deal with all the Is and Os not happy in the program, I'm sorry I just don't know.

    Cooling Upgrade - Modify Hood?

    Find yourself a " sacrificial" hood and have at it. There are some great vented hoods out there, but they come in 2 versions, a " race" version that's is very flimsy, not that great finish wise, but worked great, then some " carbon fiber" hoods that look great but weigh far more than a stock...

    Bad Coyote piston. Why?

    FWIW there's some evil, magical BS going on with #8 cylinder. A car we service was a Boss 302 with under 10K miles, it lunched #8 on a track day. Bret just bought a Boss 302 with ( no lie) 7, seven, just 7.. miles on it. It ate #8 on its first track day. Our fuel guy had his Boss eat #8 on his...
