    S550 @carbon.cinematic S550 Ecoboost Time Attack

    Good news is the Professional Awesome mounts are easily modified to fit our cars, and would bolt to your splitter easily. Check out in my thread for details. I hit plenty of stuff with my splitter and mounts stayed true.

    Help! No key detected!

    Sorry to hear this.theres a key detector on the rear speaker panel that needs to be functioning. Replace that along with the wiring harness feeding it and then check for error codes in the various vehicle modules with Forscan.

    S550 @carbon.cinematic S550 Ecoboost Time Attack

    Here’s a pic of the ducting I made when my car was Ecoboost. Worked extremely well for coolant and air intake temps paired with race louvers hood vents. Add an oil cooler (I didn’t have one but was about to before the head gasket let go) and do something like this. This was with stock PP...

    S550 RUSSIAN TWIN TURBO STANG "DINOSAUR". 2016 PP manual. Full custom build - DIY Time Attack

    Very nice looking turbo setup. Manifolds look very nice, placement of the wastegates is great, no chance for boost creep.have any pics of intercooler pipe routing from turbos to the intercooler? Im having a hard time picturing it. Also where did you place your oil scavenge pump?

    ‘Bouncy’ rear end after rear lower control arm monoball bearing install on a GT350R

    I noticed something similar when I did mine, along with RLCA bearings and bearing upper shock mount. It’s my belief that the stock shocks are under damped and when you take all the rubber out of the suspension it becomes apparent. Better shocks solved this for me.

    New Front LCA…. Caster vs camber?

    The k member is not always centered on the frame rails and can cause this.

    New Front LCA…. Caster vs camber?

    Ok yeah. IMO S197 and S550 have enough positive caster for most uses, unless your HPDE speeds are astronomically high, I'd leave caster at near stock levels (~7*) and focus on more negative camber.

    New Front LCA…. Caster vs camber?

    Really depends on what you feel you need more of, and if your camber plates can get you the camber you desire. If camber plates get you what you need then you can decide solely on what you’d like caster to be. Whats your use case and can you get as much or as little camber as you want with...

    Fuel starvation solutions

    Yes the stock tank has a Venturi to siphon from the passenger side of the tank into the fuel hat, but the flow rate is much less than the pump flow rate. Only designed to allow you to run the tank down to empty putting around in your Hertz rental Mustang.the risk is dependent on the...
