WVTrakPak replied to the thread Little help on Rear End Puking on track.I have a great shop that I work with. He is gonna pull the cover and change the fluid next week. I think I will go ahead and do this. Your set up looks great. (see full post)

TheTed replied to the thread Dark Horse OEM Pad wear per track day - does this sound Reasonable?.Right, that question was really open ended and directed towards the more experienced track folk, but I'd add specifically those with Dark Horse track experience (or the same parts).My understanding is that people will swap out GLoc pads for... (see full post)- galaxy replied to the thread Boss Axle (No) Vent.Yup, the little cap rattles. Shouldn't be gummed up, it's a brand new car. There's no dirt, grease, nor anything else built up around it. Not a huge deal as my catch can/vent will be on mid week. Just added more for the discussion. Just weird... (see full post)

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread S550 Upside Down and on the Wrong Side.That must have been an earlier engine. In a later post with the Gen 3 short block, he said he hit 508 at the rear wheels in 2022.https://trackmustangsonline.com/threads/suggest-a-manifold-and-throttle-body-combination.21504/post-325545 (see full post)

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Dark Horse OEM Pad wear per track day - does this sound Reasonable?.You are speaking to the wrong guy. The more experienced guys here will chime in. Basically, I am going to learn as I hit the track more and become a better driver that the brakes will no longer hold up to my soon to be gained improved driving... (see full post)

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread S550 Upside Down and on the Wrong Side.Searched and found it. 478 horsepower to the wheels at only 6,548 rpm. Nice!https://trackmustangsonline.com/threads/suggest-a-manifold-and-throttle-body-combination.21504/post-325470 (see full post)
- galaxy replied to the thread Boss Axle (No) Vent.Well, I still don't think my brand new car is venting. I was installing a catch can like on my red car (above) anyways, but after a few drives this week, I took the plug out of the axle to start fitting up some hoses and when I pulled that plug... (see full post)
- galaxy replied to the thread Little help on Rear End Puking on track.If your concern is fumes/smell and while extremely low, fluid in the trunk, remove the vent filter from the can and run a -10 hose back out of the trunk. This addresses all those concerns. I had the same thoughts; unwilling to tolerate even the... (see full post)

TheTed replied to the thread Dark Horse OEM Pad wear per track day - does this sound Reasonable?.I'm still wondering what the improvements would be with a different brake pad. Now I probably don't know what I don't know here, and would be happy to try something else if there was a good option, but it's pretty hard for me to find anything to... (see full post)
dave2278 replied to the thread 4.6 3 valve blocks.There is a dude named Thomas Sanchez in Texas that has a Whippled and sprayed 4.6 3V Nemak block running 1200 hp. (see full post)-
dave2278 replied to the thread 4.6 3 valve blocks.Rumor is the Nemak 05+ blocks are the technically stronger than the Tekskid due to extra webbing in stress points. As for the original question, after late 04 they were all Nemak I believe, and all the same. (see full post)
GAR944 replied to the thread S550 Upside Down and on the Wrong Side.Mounted somewhere under that rear window where its a bit safer. Probably has other benefits that the drift guys know of. (see full post)-

GAR944 replied to the thread S550 Upside Down and on the Wrong Side.Craig who will be tuning it said the same last night. He asked if there were exhaust cams and we told him just the intake. He nodded and said all the tuning gains were from playing with the intake anyway. And it is somewhere here on the site... (see full post)
RinerAuto replied to the thread SN95 RinerAutomotive's CAM-T Mustang.ABS woes continue.Taking a look back during Bristol and Autocross week I was having an issue with the pedal going long during hard braking. I've bled the brakes so many times, I can't believe there is still any air in the system. During one of... (see full post)-
TheTed replied to the thread Do the S650 cars have ICE mode complaints?.Caveat is that it wasn't pouring rain, every track is different, etc. But, we were all impressed with how well the tires did on that day in those conditions. It's been a bit since I've used them on track, though, last time was when my Trofeos ran... (see full post)

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Do the S650 cars have ICE mode complaints?."These all seasons in the rain still got around 0.9 lateral G."😆And here I have been wondering what to do for rain tires on a track day . . . (see full post)
- TA28 replied to the thread 4.6 3 valve blocks.1 other thing if I remember correctly front wheel drive Lincoln 4v v8 modular blocks don't work in rear wheel drive cars? Don't remember why or who told me this. Think 2004 blocks are newmark. Strong block. The ford motorsport aluminator block... (see full post)
