Sorry to hear this about your 0-60 times. My '25 DH has 275 Pirelli P Zeros and it will hook hard with the 10R80 10 speed with 3.55 gears. Tires make a huge difference.
I have a double H pipe with high flow resonators on my '25 DH. It is a deeper rumble than stock. The S650s seem to really like the H pipes. I can't stand the raspy X pipes, but it's personal preference.
I understand. I've just never been afraid of getting the appropriate manuals and tools and going for it. Of course I do have a pretty extensive set of tools and a deep understanding of what is going on in most engines. Background knowledge is very valuable in learning new procedures.

Yes, forced induction with a 12:1 engine does create blow by. The vapor separating catch cans definitely assist in stopping oil from building up in your intake system.
The intermittent cylinder killing of the ignition at the rev limit induces a high frequency oscillation, the harmonics of the frequency induced cause the cyclic loading to multiply, resulting in possible failures, especially with a repeated occurrence.
I'm a long time horsepower junkie. I'm having a Whipple installed on my '25 DH right now. I see the billet OPGs and timing sprocket as insurance. The only time they really make a difference is if you really push the revs to the rev limiter under boost. This induces harmonics in the engine that...
My tuner is installing a Whipple on my '25 DH. I'm going with the twin electric fans and the Bosch high flow coolant pump for the Whipple heat exchanger. He said that he sees very little difference in the intake charge temp with a thermostat change. I see this as insurance.
Whipple Superchargers offers a 3-year/36,000-mile limited powertrain warranty on select new, dealer-installed Stage 1 supercharger kits for Ford vehicles. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, often covering the engine and transmission if installed by an authorized installer.
My bad. He's on a stage 2 and has a small blower pulley that's a 10 rib. He has gobs of other mods on the car. Significant lightening (carbon fiber wheels, drive shaft, and half shafts).
My first choice: Mobil One filters, number 2, Motorcraft Filters. Look at the Beta ratings on filters, they can be tricky to understand so I suggest you dig into it. There are some very decent articles out there. Some manufacturers, I believe, are purposely secretive about their Beta numbers...
I drove a '68 'stang with a 289 4V 4 speed top loader in Chicago Loop traffic several times in the 1980 era. Complete pain in the butt. I'd find myself in gridlock and I'm amazed I didn't kill the throw out bearing. I tend to get anxious in super thick traffic and caught myself clutching and...
