That is correct. We uncovered all of that in our 2011, many other 2011 cars that belonged to customers and a single early 2012 customer car.
Back then the only solution was to replace the rack with a reprogrammed Ford Performance Racing rack, that was expensive and difficult to find.
Once the...
What Steve said is pretty much spot on. I try not to scare noobs with that long list, but in reality, that is what we'd like to see.The few things I'd add, for sprint races and time trials you may not need a transmission cooler with the 2018+ MT82-D4 transmission. We ran data on the temps and...
The Ford Racing stuff is fun, not fast.And most people use far too stiff a spring in the rear, which is why deleting the rear bar is so popular. But it's not fast.
The better setup is a soft-ish rear spring and an adjustable rear bar. I like the Whiteline bar because it mounts backwards...
The beginners setup to going fast in an S197 Boss 302.
Swap to 18x11 wheels with 315 tires. Alternatively, 19x11 on 305 tires.
Change the rear brakes to the GT500 rotors and caliper extension bracket.
Change the rear ratio to 3.55:1. If you've got a non-Boss GT, use 3.31:1 ratio and change the...
Yes, but it's not just the undertray. You have to change out the lip and some other parts.
We (Vorshlag) did it to our base model 2018.
All the part numbers and lots of pics are on the forum...
We get this occasionally. There is -NO- one size fits all setting that will actually work correctly for everybody.
As a starting point I'll usually put the compression adjustment right in the middle and the rebound adjustment up from full soft/fast by 1/3 of the range. Then start testing.If...
Big Red drove fine after the new radiator and intake tract. We didn't have any issues with it.
We built that intake as part of an aero makeover. By itself we would not do it. It's too much fabrication for too little gain.And the Blue Coyote swap car didn't get the OTR intake because it's a...
I like stripped interiors and sticky tires. CAM is -FAR- too constrained for me. The freedom of the Prepared and Mod classes is where I like to play.My previous autocross car
I'm biased, but I'm building an over-the-top SN95 for SCCA X-Prepared class and will be utilizing three-way MCS on it.
I'll also make my own custom camber plates, but then that's what I do for a living.
Don't put the clamp in the middle of the canister. You want to clamp on the ends, outside of the piston travel range. There is a chance of deforming the canister in the middle and causing the piston to stick.
There is an SPL option for the deflectors.

Those M8 studs on the S197 camber plates should be torqued to 18 lb-ft.
The M10 studs on the S550 camber plates should be torqued to 35 lb-ft.If you break a stud, replacement bolt rings with studs are available on the Vorshlag site.

The previous responses have covered the issues pretty well.
Yes, it might be stiff if the swaybar is binding. Just jack it up a little to adjust the plates.
Yes, if you jam the shaft or nut into the edge of the sheet metal, it will get chewed up from the figure eight movement the top of the...
