You have me confused Mr. Hyde. (or did Dr. Jekyl write the comment?) First you said you wanted the vent in the back to "vent the air out" to which I responded that isn't what the vent on the cowl hood will do when driving, it will draw air IN to the engine bay, not vent heat out. Now you say...

Except that end doesn't vent out is what I was saying. It draws air into the engine compartment. It is a low pressure area at the bottom of the windshield so it doesn't release the air like you are thinking, the air flow the opposite direction. In the 60's Chevy had the "cowl induction" system...

I was surprised when I saw the Roush offering. At least Steeda changed the intake with a sleek looking connection from the airbox to the throttle bodies. Roush just changed the top of the lid and left the stock connection to the throttle bodies.

I had an EcoBoost with the performance package and really enjoyed the car. It was "quick and nimble" and I found in the turns on the track I had no problems staying with the GT's and even pulling away. But on the straights of course I had to give them the point-by because they simply over...

Not on my performance pack wheels. I have another set of 19" wheels with snow tires mounted. They are the Pirelli Scorpion snow tires, only because the Blizzak were on back order when I got them and with snow on the way I had to settle for them. When these wear out I will replace them with the...

The cowl doesn't vent out, it draws in to the engine bay.

Happy Thanksgiving! Going to watch our Lions today then celebrate with a great turkey dinner.

The resale value thing is true for all aftermarket conversions. It isn't limited to Roush. If you get anything that isn't coming out of the factory with a different set of options then at resale it will get a blue book value based upon the VIN. Roush, RTR, Saleen, Shelby --- all of them will be...

Looks good! I am a fan of the superstripe. I had a shop cut and install mine when I got it back in September 2024 - before the Shelby launch.

Take one from the remaining wheels, then drive very carefully to the nearest O'Reilly or AutoZone to get replacements!

Moving the throttle body a half inch does nothing. This isn't like the days of carburetor cars where the air and fuel were mixed there and a spacer made a difference. With fuel injection air and fuel is mixed in the cylinder and moving the throttle body does nothing. If it did, why not get...

Made it back to Lapeer International Dragway before they closed for the season on November 3, 2024. Temperature in the 50's and a slight breeze. Hit 11's on just a set of drag radials finally

If those tires are the standard summer tires for the Dark Horse, get some snow tires and swap them. You will have no grip at all with the summer tires. And as far as weight in the trunk. I never found any need to do that. Good tires are enough. Plus IF you do have an incident, that weight...

That's correct, the throttle response is "slower", but in normal mode you can just moderate your right foot and achieve the same result pretty much. It also changes some of the other transmission responses and such and that's why on my steep driveway if it is snow covered I will use it getting...

Typically I don't bother to change it to the "slippery" setting just driving or snow. When trying to get up my driveway, if it is snow covered, I may swap to that for some assistance, but usually just leave it in normal mode. If it is icy I might try the "slippery" conditions setting

I swapped from the 2 piece lug nuts this fall when I put my winter wheels and tires on. I already had the swelling on the 3 of the 2 piece nuts on the rear when I was swapping to my drag radials a couple of weeks ago so went ahead and replaced them all. But I went with chrome on my performance...

I live in SE Michigan and drive my Mustang year round. I used to drive from Port Huron to downtown Detroit with a supercharged 2006 Mustang on all season tires. Never had a problem. RWD isn't really that difficult to drive in the winter. It's easier on snow tires and I've been using those the...

How easy is it to remove so that my oil cooler is exposed for track days? You said it can be removed but what is the process?

That's what I found. With the strut tower brace in place there isn't enough room to maneuver it out

Magnusson-Moss isn't some sword that you hold up and that is the end of things. All it says is that Ford has to prove that your modification caused the failure. Ford warranties the car that Ford built. When you modify the car it is no longer the car that Ford built. All that Ford has to do is...
