Gunslinger55 replied to the thread S650issue reared its head.They may be my mistake. I had track wrap still on it and tape. I had it on my trailer and just dropped it off at the dealer not thinking that Dealers are total assholes. The tires are obviously worn had track alignment and i might of mentioned... (see full post)

Lap of Sebring from last week. 3 seconds quicker then my last time there. Feel like I need more spring rate especially in the faster corners

Gunslinger55 replied to the thread S650issue reared its head.Yeah this is pretty frustrating. Advice is to find a more track friendly Ford dealer that will go to bat for you. I’ll never do business with Earnhardt Ford again (see full post)

bnight reacted to spectrogrant's post in the thread S197 Gen321 Coyote swapped Gridlife Time Attack Street Mod - S197 with Like.Update: Motor is in the car. Whipple is mostly assembled. Waiting on some more gen 5 whipple parts as they never put a gen6 in an s197. Anywho lots of outfitting to do with intercooler lines and hooking up all the harnesses and stuff.

Figured out the noise -- it's piston slap aka the BBQ tick. I'm not gonna worry about it. One thing though -- when we first built the car my mechanic used Mobil 1 5W-50 for the first oil change. I didn't notice the noise at this time. More...

If you're been living at high rpm a lot, consider valve springs.

Well mine sounds like it's coming from the belt or pulleys. It's very light and you can only hear it from an angle. I noticed it recently when I had to stop for something and got out of my car while it was running. On the other side of my car was...
