    My motor blew up......now what?

    I can't say how critical the issue may be, but when Ford Performance looked at my initial cooler mounting (which was identical to yours), the FP engineer advised the horizontal line orientation could lead to an incomplete cooler fill and reduced efficiency. Just something to consider. I flipped...

    S550 Honey Badger GT350 Build

    If Option #2, would a passenger still be an option at least safely/comfortably? I wouldn't want a tank of 200*+ oil between my legs!!

    Sniper shift light

    +1 for the Cartek Sequential, it works well and looks very tidy. I used the MSD Tach Signal GMR Pickup clamped onto one of the ignition coil wires.

    Replacing Bleeder Screws

    S550 GT350R Race Car Build

    Looks incredible! Where did the 170lbs come from? Carbon roof + hood + doors? That's gotta be something you can feel!

    New style of brake shim plate

    Nice! I could be mistaken but I believe the GT350 and PP pads have generally the same shape, just GT350 pads a bit taller. Just some minor trimming of these and they should work on the PP?

    S550 PAE 2019 GT350R road race build

    That is perfection! Just curious btw, the light double tap on the brakes prior to the hard brake zone on the longer straights - is that a driving technique, issues with pad knockback, brake booster or just an abundance of caution on the shakedown run?

    WTB OP mustang spacers

    I’ve got an extra set of 25mm spacers from OPMustang. They are the original design without the weigh-saving cutouts. Message me if interested.

    ARCHETYPE RACING - VOODOO/COYOTE/PREDATOR Oil Balancing Hoses

    Confirmed install on my 2015 Mustang GT (Gen 2 Coyote), the plugs are there so would be 99.9% sure you can proceed as well.

    ARCHETYPE RACING - VOODOO/COYOTE/PREDATOR Oil Balancing Hoses

    Received the kit yesterday and proceeded with install (motor in the car). Pretty straightforward once the IM is removed, it is tight back there but a 16MM flex head ratcheting wrench and 1/4" hex bit made it totally doable. I got mine 95% of the way there, but as I was tightening down the last...

    If anyone is interested in this event shoot me a note. I have an unused credit for a SCMC event that I will not be able to use and will give you a nice discount on the fee!

    ARCHETYPE RACING - VOODOO/COYOTE/PREDATOR Oil Balancing Hoses

    These will be going on my engine as well. I'll provide an update on the install (while motor is in the car). I removed the IM and got the 4 pipe thread bolts loosened - hopefully getting the new fittings on once I receive the kit won't be too much of a hassle. Its pretty tight back there but...

    Flush out and changing to Castrol SRF/Remote brake reservoir on S550 Mustangs

    I don't believe they sell it as a separate part #, I forked over the $90 to make it happen. Just not a system I wanted to cut corners with - you can probably find them on eBay used for half that.
