Are they as good as the DarkHorse or DHR? No. But are they good and better than me twisting my right leg and ankle around while braking for Turn 7 at Sebring. Yes very much so. And if you watch the video you see me trick the system in Turn 10...- galaxy replied to the thread Boss Axle (No) Vent.My car doesn't have the two fill plugs (drain and I assume fill?) like that. Did you add those yourself? (see full post)
steveespo replied to the thread S550 Heel-toe struggles.To setup either the Auto Blip or Xingeneering systems it is basically trial and error using the knobs for the Auto Blip and the computer interface on the Xi unit to establish the delay, amount of throttle and duration of the throttle. You set the... (see full post)-
- galaxy replied to the thread Boss Axle (No) Vent.Not crazy about the can in that Cortex pic. Drains downhill. This axle will vent. It'll work, you just gotta stay up on the checking/draining it. Here's my completely custom pieced together setup on my '12 GT. Now that I know this axle is... (see full post)

Go with coilovers, to get the spring rate and ride height flexibility. The number of damping adjustments is not as critical initially, even single adjustable will work better than street style struts and shocks. Also if you switch cars later...

Indy '92, Michael was so close!
It scrapes the parking lot all the time, it's not the flattest parking lot ever built. We run down at the Echo Park Speedway parking lot (formerly Atlanta Speedway) on the south side of town. Unfortunately this is the only area we have to race...
Fair points but are the aftermarket modules really as seamless and dialed in as the modern oem auto blip features? I don’t have any personal experience but how do the modules know when you want a big blip versus a small brush of the gas etc? I...
honeybadger replied to the thread Comp Cam limiters or lockout blocks.Do you have a 4.6? I will say my experience is with a 5.2L, which have improved phasers. (see full post)-

Like.this echos my experience. To actually make the most power, you need to otpimize all of the pieces...have to get the right cam profile and the right cam timing dialed in with the tune....and that can mean adjusting the came timing a few times... 
bnight replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.Speeking of Street/Track spring rates I think there is a reason why so many people go with BMR Handling Springs (because the rates are just about perfect) 300/980 lbs springs. The other options I would consider is Eibach Pro-Kit Progressive...

I clamped the spring horizontally to a work bench sending a 2 x 3 or 2 x 4... (see full post)

- stevbd replied to the thread S550 Heel-toe struggles.Nice driving. How do you adjust the timing and size of the blip with these aftermarket auto-blip devices? Is that what the knobs are for? Can the system automatically tell when you need a big versus small blip, depending on gear and rpm? (see full post)

67GTA replied to the thread Boss Axle (No) Vent.Another note on this - I’m using the port circled in red on the watts link cover in lieu of the one on top. Cortex v1 cover didn’t have the top vent port, which was the location on the stock Boss cover that was tough to get low enough to not... (see full post)

Thank you @67GTA This is very helpful. I was leaning toward upgrading the fittings and given the feedback from Rick, it sounds like the majority of contact was coming from an oversized fixture mounted to the top of the diff cover. I am...

67GTA replied to the thread Boss Axle (No) Vent.Here’s a screenshot of the configuration. The order number is on there too, so Brendan may be able to replicate from their records as well.I won’t be around the car for a couple weeks, but will try and get a some reference pics in early July.
