RinerAuto replied to the thread SN95 RinerAutomotive's CAM-T Mustang.Surprised me. Also shows how close everyone was. I think I was only 0.3s out of 12th from 19th. Day 1 I was 1.5 seconds slower than fastest run. Day 2 only 0.5 seconds slower. Still need to find some more time, but getting closer. (see full post)
mycroft replied to the thread Oil Pump Gear / Crank Sprocket Upgrade? 2022 Mach 1 w/hp. Stock engine..OPGs aren't really that much of an issue, the crank gear can be but only if you're hanging a supercharger off the snout of the crank or banging off the rev limiter constantly. It's an overstated problem but a fairly easy 'while you're in there' (see full post)- EF1 replied to the thread What did you do to your Boss 302 or S197 today?.The look is why I bought the Motive bleeder.

blacksheep-1 replied to the thread How much wheel runout is too much for track wheel?.If you go to tireguymafia on Instagram and cruise around there are several videos where the wheel is mounted to a spindle, then a steel wheel is rotated around inside it, to fix the dent. There's also some with welding, but I'd buy a new wheel... (see full post)-
blacksheep-1 replied to the thread How much wheel runout is too much for track wheel?.Usually the bend is on the barrel of the wheel, I just lay them on an old piece of carpet, face down, and hit from the inside. If the bend is on the outside ( the supported side) then it gets a bit more complicated, your method might be worth a try. (see full post)
TMSBOSS replied to the thread What did you do to your Boss 302 or S197 today?.Same here. The look on my wife's face when I ask her to come out to the shop for a "Leg Workout" is Priceless!! If fluid wasn't so expensive, Id bleed brakes more often. LOL. (see full post)
mavisky replied to the thread S550 GT350.Have used both Steeda and MMR. It's honestly kind of hard to go wrong for the most part with these cars. (see full post)
Fabman replied to the thread What did you do to your Boss 302 or S197 today?.This is how I do it too.....the old "Pumpity pumpity pump....HOLD!" (see full post)
Mad Hatter replied to the thread What did you do to your Boss 302 or S197 today?.Got one a while back, but went back to bleeding brakes the old fashioned way with a captive family member. Got better/cleaner results faster. (see full post)
GTP replied to the thread How much wheel runout is too much for track wheel?.As for noticing a vibration - yes, the steering wheel vibrated on the drive home. Hit was to the left front wheel. (see full post)-
GTP replied to the thread How much wheel runout is too much for track wheel?.Very interesting reply, thanks!These are Apex SM10, 19x11, with roller forged barrels. Here are the runouts (thousandths) as provided by the repair specialist: 210 (Obviously the hard hit wheel) 080 050 040The repair tech does not want to fix... (see full post)

blacksheep-1 replied to the thread How much wheel runout is too much for track wheel?.Wheels....if they are forged wheels you can grab a large ball peen hammer and a 4x4 piece of wood and work them back closer to spec. You can probably do that with factory cast wheels as well but not aftermarket ones. Seriously don't think you'd... (see full post)
drunkonunleaded replied to the thread What did you do to your Boss 302 or S197 today?.Motive bleeder is great for a firm pedal, but is absolutely terrible if you don't evacuate the entire reservoir pressure pot. It always seems to lead to overflowing the MC a bit and no matter how fast I am, I cannot get the big syringe in there... (see full post)- galaxy replied to the thread VMP Coolant Tank.Thanks guys! I'm a bit of a detail nut. It's my first true passion. Since the tank does have threaded fittings for the two small coolant lines, I may touch those up a bit and swap them out for some AN fittings and braided lines. Get rid of... (see full post)

I'm looking to take the plunge into a coilover setup in the next few months and have been reading prior posts and recommendations. It seems the most highly recommended setups are either from Vorshlag or Cortex and I reached out to both for their...-
Mad Hatter replied to the thread Oil Pump Gear / Crank Sprocket Upgrade? 2022 Mach 1 w/hp. Stock engine..Lost some 3 engines... memory has blocked the exact amount for some reason. None have been OPG or pump related. But definitely oil cooling and line size related. (see full post)

Mad Hatter replied to the thread What did you do to your Boss 302 or S197 today?.@Fabman kills tremecs and I kill Getrags :idontknow: . At least my calimer stage 3 with the 26 spline seems to be surviving well so far. (see full post)
Tim.ocon replied to the thread What did you do to your Boss 302 or S197 today?.3.7 V6 And I shouldn’t say they don’t make one they are just no longer made and are impossible to find now (see full post)
