mavisky replied to the thread Tire fitment on front of GT350.All the dark horse series moved to a new brake package and 18" wheels so no more 19" takeoffs. (see full post)- galaxy replied to the thread Brand New Drivetrain - No Engine Braking.Heavier components (iron flywheel, etc) when spinning at rpm, have substantial momentum to keep the rotating assembly spinning. Remove that, let off the gas, the engine should slow down faster. Was previously mentioned above. (see full post)
TheTed replied to the thread Dark Horse OEM Pad wear per track day - does this sound Reasonable?.Agreed. I'm hopeful that these pads will have the same performance as the OEMs. I have absolutely zero complaints about the brakes on this car, and hope it stays that way. (see full post)
Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.Oops. Must have been some sort of misfire (see full post)-
Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Dark Horse OEM Pad wear per track day - does this sound Reasonable?.Be interesting to see if replacement pads are the same as the factory pads. Waiting for it to cool off a bit in AZ before swapping pads but it will be soon (see full post)
12coBoss replied to the thread Tire fitment on front of GT350.Thanks for the input everyone. I don't think that tire will work with my current setup. Anyone know if there are Dark Horse series take off's that are for sale? Last year usedracingtires.com had them but they don't seem to have them this year... (see full post)-

Does anyone have experience with the Ford Performance Boss 302R Electric Steering Rack? Wondering if that is an upgrade and changes feedback to the steering wheel.
blacksheep-1 replied to the thread Brand New Drivetrain - No Engine Braking.How do you figure that? (see full post)- galaxy replied to the thread Brand New Drivetrain - No Engine Braking.Which doesn’t make sense since all the light weight components should be more engine braking. (see full post)

blacksheep-1 replied to the thread Brand New Drivetrain - No Engine Braking.As a big fan of aluminum flywheels I'd say stevbd is prolly on point. I've seen this occure after changing out the iron lump. There's still some braking, just much less than you're used to. (see full post)
Just wanted to give you all a heads up. We will have some guys out at Road Atlanta for the MCA 50th event and 1-2 people out at Hastings for the Mustang Roundup.Jude and I will be out at Mustang Week Charlotte as well if anyone is making the...- galaxy replied to the thread Brand New Drivetrain - No Engine Braking.It is 100% not some popcorn or intentional crackle tune.Thanks for the tips so far. Will try. Still doesn’t make any sense, but will try.The crank reset was done with a NGauge. Still have one that has the feature. I don’t have the full... (see full post)
RodS197 replied to the thread What is best coyote block to use for a build.I just put together an engine with Boss 302 heads. I ordered a Gen 3 short block from Livernois. The only difference is the oil adapter for the Gen 3 has an additional hole. I am using a remote oil filter setup so it was not a problem at all. I... (see full post)-
TheTed replied to the thread Hood Venting Options for Cooling.I have. They offer a GTD style as well as two other vented hood styles, and are another consideration. Another produce they have that I'm looking at is the full-span Gurney flap to replace the 2/3 factory Gurney flap that the car came with from... (see full post)
- JAJ replied to the thread Brand New Drivetrain - No Engine Braking.Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and I had a supercharged 2011 GT track pack, I did a lot of tuning work on the car myself using the SCT toolset.One of the things I recall, vaguely, is that the OEM tune holds the throttle slightly open and...

- Deadly0ne replied to the thread Hood Venting Options for Cooling.Have you looked into any offerings by Anderson Composites? Not sure what S650 options they have, but I have been considering getting a CF hood from them as I don't want to cut my OE hood. (see full post)

I have a 2025 Dark Horse Handling Package which spends a good amount of time on the track, but is a dual purpose car that also sees a good number of street miles. Bought it in January and it's got nearly 6k miles on it so far. The cooling system...
