    S550 Honey Badger GT350 Build

    Looking good Kevin!How are you tooled to make the longer bends in the rear bulkhead? I have a project coming up where I'd like to make some long bends, but don't have the space or money for a giant press brake.

    Fuel starvation solutions

    Carter on here rigged up an in tank transfer with a cheap pump from the passenger side to the driver's side. I replicated it and its worked great. That said, it is a cheap jerry rigged solution, so question is if you rely on it are you ok with the risk that it fails. That risk of course is...

    Coilover height Adjustment Question

    Yep if you adjusted wheel height more than 1/4” I’d align it again. 3/4 to 1 inch absolutely.

    coolers for road racing?

    sorry not sure, haven’t run my 948 with a stock radiator.

    coolers for road racing?

    948 for oil seems to be enough for 95+% of people on here. Mine's on a thermostat but thermostats always allow bypass when closed so in reality it takes quite a bit of heat to get even up to operating temp on the street if thats a consideration for you. I rarely eclipse 160*f on the street with...

    S197 DeepImpactBlues

    Looking really good Doug! And the radius on those fenders looks great IMO.

    Seperate clutch fluid reservoir

    You can and my brakes felt fine after, but def best to do an abs bleed after. Good motivation to get Forscan IMO, its so easy to use and opens up a whole new world of possibilities. And for damn near free. Not nearly as difficult to use as I expected either, and I'm a far cry from a tech guy.

    S550 OTS Tune with ZERO rev hang?

    Its a good theory, though my experience was that a tune without rev hang did not affect lag. The turbos on these engines are so small most tuners actually delay boost build at lower RPM's because they can create more torque below ~2700RPM than the rods can handle. My tuned ecoboost with stock...

    S550 OTS Tune with ZERO rev hang?

    At least when I had my ecoboost a few years back custom was the only way to get rid of the rev hang induced by the tune. Even some of the custom tuners leave some rev hang in their tunes, I had to ask for it to be removed.But be aware that the balance shafts in this engine create a decent...

    S650 2024 Ecoboost

    Agree with intercooler if you’re after power. Add to that GFB DV+ blowoff valve. Helps response into boost considerably.I chased more power with my Ecoboost including a bigger turbo but it didn’t deliver the power curve or impact I was looking for. So in retrospect I’d say if you’re after...

    Mustang GTD Spotted in the Wild...

    Cool looking car just wish the splitter wasn’t a mile off the ground. For a car like this it should be low, to hell with approach angles.

    S650 2024 Ecoboost

    Imo anything less than the PP Brembos on these cars is insufficient. Looks like you’re on sliding front calipers, which are just not powerful or stiff enough for these heavy girls. You can pick up used PP brakes on eBay easily, and get a PP master cylinder too. My car was originally an Ecoboost...
