  1. Coyote vs Acme

    Okay, I'm hooked. I gotta see this!
  2. Gas Mileage Comparison

    I just hit 1000 miles on my '25 DHP 10R80 with a stage 1 Whipple with extra cooling, dual fans, Bosch high flow coolant pump, Lethal double H pipe with high flow resonators, vapor catch can, and a Steeda Stop-the-Hop kit. I cruise my neighborhood in Sport mode and a little bit of full throttle...
  3. Did a thing! Now I'm regretting it?

    I went with the Whipple. I'm not concerned about the whine. Whipple is very flexible in terms of upgrading. They've got a wonderful upgrade system that's basically bolt on upgrade to go from Stage 1 to 2 to 3 and further. I'm thrilled with the throttle response and have no regrets at all.
  4. 2025 DH TRACK PK AUTOMATIC TRANS

    I have the 3.55s in my 10R80 '25 DHP. I added a Whipple and if I went to a lower gear I'd need to launch in 3rd. Give those 3.55s a chance, if you aren't happy with the launch aggressiveness, look at a trans tune and a looser converter.
  5. Anyone else still doing a strict 1,000-mile break-in period? Or am I in the minority?

    Wow, my '25 DHP manual has nothing in it regarding a break-in. In fact, I asked the service manager about it and he said Ford doesn't list a break-in for any of the new vehicles starting in the '24 MY. At just over 500 miles I took it to a registered tuner a Whipple dealer. The installed a Stage...
  6. Has anyone here done a DIY gear swap (10R80)?

    Just on the "dirty" side. So far I only have about 500 miles added since the Whipple install.
  7. Has anyone here done a DIY gear swap (10R80)?

    Nice write up, Neggytive. I have a '25 DHP with 3.55s in the back with a 10R80. These gears are nice in N/A, but when I put a Whipple on at just over 500 miles, wow, what a great setup. I went with an oversized intercooler, twin cooling fans, a Bosch high flow intercooler coolant pump. I also...
  8. DH PP wheel finish versus standard DH wheel finish

    Yes, that is my intention. I found this image on the Levittown Ford Parts web site for the 19 x 11 PP rear wheels. I'm looking for wider rims that match the current fronts as I'm after a drag racing setup. I like the current wheel design and want to just put more rubber on the back.
  9. DH PP wheel finish versus standard DH wheel finish

    I'm thinking of trying to find a pair of DH PP rear wheels to put on my '25 DH Premium. I have a Whipple and some additional enhancements on my car and am looking at going to the PP 11 inch rears (Wheel, Alloy - Ford (PR3Z-1007-V)) to run wider tires on the back. Right now I can easily torch the...
  10. Have you tried double tapping the gas pedal?

    Agreed. I added a Whipple on my '25 DHP. Just "flooring it" can become handful in a hurry.
  11. Anyone know where I can get 2 19x11 sinister bronze wheels for my '25 DH?

    I appreciate the response, but I'm wanting the Factory style PP 11" wide sinister bronze wheels for the rear.
  12. Anyone know where I can get 2 19x11 sinister bronze wheels for my '25 DH?

    I'm wanting a bit more grip on the rear after adding a Whipple to my '25 Dark Horse. I'm mainly a drag racer, so the 9.5" fronts are fine. But I'd love to get wider 11" rims on the rear.
  13. Anyone elses dark horse not spin tires

    Oh, mine spins, but the Steeda Stop-the-Hop kit really helps once I'm in second on up.
  14. Anyone elses dark horse not spin tires

    Yeah, a I agree. I put a Whipple on my '25 DH at just over 500 miles and added a Steeda Stop-the-Hop kit. I can spin in first, but the P Zeros hook hard with the the rear under control. Feather the throttle in first and then hammer down the rest of the way. Pulls like crazy...
  15. Break In Oil - change at 500mi or at 1,000mi?

    I found the following regarding the Ford Spec on 5.0 motor oil recommendation: "WSS-M2C961-A1 is a Ford motor oil specification requiring a 5W-30 full synthetic lubricant. It was developed to protect modern turbocharged engines (like EcoBoost) against premature timing chain wear and Low-Speed...
