TMSBOSS replied to the thread R.I.P. Kyle Bush.It appears he had a persistent cough that progresses to RSV in the last few days. Cause of death is likely to be pneumonia .I’m stunned.

Like.The passenger side valve cover has better baffling than the stock driver side valve cover. Not sure why Ford decided to make each side different. The driver side is intended to inflow only, but certain corners can allow oil to get into the... - Paul McWhiskey reacted to bnight's post in the thread Advice on setup for street and track! with Like.there is no DSUNO/DS1.11 rear pads. I run OEM rears (From Ford Dealer) they are essentially DS2500 without Ferodo branding.
Duane Black replied to the thread R.I.P. Kyle Bush.I think it was more of a reference to his long struggle in Cup series... that move from Gibbs to Childress didn't go very well. (see full post)
racer47 replied to the thread R.I.P. Kyle Bush.Watch the winning truck race interview. He didn't look great but at the time, I didn't think much of it. Also the comments about never knowing when its your last win is eerie. I'd guess that they knew something was wrong just maybe not the... (see full post)

Duane Black replied to the thread R.I.P.

WItoTX reacted to Fabman's post in the thread S197 3V Fabman's build; How did we get here? with Like.To be clear, there is a PCV on the hose that goes to the intake manifold (suction side) and the other side that goes to the breather tank is open and can breathe both ways.
Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.Can you tell us how you figured that out?I have been trying to figure out what the stock pads are on my Dark Horse for a long time now. (see full post)
Bill Pemberton reacted to BackInBlack's post in the thread SR performance coilovers VS Koni sport/Eibach? with Like.When you read lowering spring drop measurements, know that the result on every car will vary somewhat. Think of them as an estimate rather than something you can count on. Here's a pic of 2 very nice TMO cars that I think is a good comparison in...-
bnight reacted to blacksheep-1's post in the thread SR performance coilovers VS Koni sport/Eibach? with Like.IMO find one of the Ford Performance kits, install it, and enjoy. Decent coilovers will run north of $5K, the ones on the S197s are Penskes at over $10K. The disadvantage far outweigh the advantages in maintenance alone, plus with a FP suspension...

bnight reacted to Stan Whitney's post in the thread Who Is Tracking Their S550 GT500? I'm Looking For Someone Fast & Knows The Mods Inside And Out with Like.This setup has run on 3 of our local TX cars with good success. It's similar to what Middleton does. Its a good start that calms down the chassis motions, has good grip and is fun and controllable with the power.Steeda dual rate springs...

I'm Looking For Someone Fast & Knows The Mods Inside And Out with Like.I'm fortunate enough to live in the same area as Stan so get to hang out with him occasionally at the track - he knows what he's doing on these cars.

bnight reacted to steveespo's post in the thread Who Is Tracking Their S550 GT500? I'm Looking For Someone Fast & Knows The Mods Inside And Out with Like.An even better play would be to swap the full Dark Horse R brake system onto a GT500 and run 18" wheels and tires. Expensive but would save a TON of weight. And weight is the enemy of the 500. Front end weight savings would be on the order of 125...

Does anyone know the part numbers for the Ferodo front and rear pads for the Mustang s550 GT PP1?I found FCP4711W for DS1.11 Front pads. (H for DS2500 and Z for DSUNO).I can't find the correct shape number for the rears. Looking to get...
Sure! They are the SVE R357's from lmr.com. I'm running 19x11's on all 4 corners in the gun metal gray, with a 20mm spacer up front.
