TheTed replied to the thread Hood Venting Options for Cooling.Well as often happens, seek and ye shall find. I did some looking around and found that American Muscle also sold the aluminum GTD style hood I was considering. And, they had 2 open box ones, one at their Kansas City warehouse, which is about 30... (see full post)

- stevbd replied to the thread Brand New Drivetrain - No Engine Braking.As a reference point, I have an ‘11 with similar lightweight components but with FRPP procal tune and 3.31 diff, minimal crackles and pops. It does seem there’s a tune element to this? What is your exhaust system? (see full post)
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)

12coBoss is going to the event 2026 Mustang Round Up - Motorsports Park Hastings, NE.Aug 20, 2026 → Aug 22, 2026https://racemph.com/event/mustang-roundup-fast-fords-xvi/
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)
