This is right on the money, they 18-23 kit if it’s fully out. Is a bit of a dog’s breakfast it’s very expensive for the what 20-25hp gain and ford gave up on doing stage kits which is what they should of done for the gen 3 guys because the 15-17 kits are still very popular. Ford performance...

Emissions regulations went through some major changes for the 22-23 MY for all cars and for bikes it’s euro 5. There is a good 15-20 lost with these newer standards why did you think Chevy had to increase the fuel system pressure and redo the cats for. Also the mustang gt and mach 1 both lost...

Yes they do with is very very interesting, I’d like to see the cams specs. What’s the circle base, ramp rates, duration etc sounds like they’re going after a much flatter powerband

They don’t really care about insurance like that anymore it’s usually about sandbagging because either they know our fuel sucks, emissions targets and or because they can do it. The Germans are infamous for sandbagging numbers

It’s a shame i just came across this but I’ll give my thoughts 1) 13mm camshafts interesting because the gen 3s had 14mm like the gt350s, so it’s possible they’ve significantly updated the cams 2) intake and valve sizes carry over from gen 3 3) it’s definitely based on the previous gen 3...

That’s correct they could and would use a traditional FPC firing order. Ford last time around said they couldn’t package a twin throttle body setup under the GT350s hood because it was lowered by 20mms. This time around it’s very apparent they wanted to move past that limitation, whether or not...

That is correct and unfortunately it’s due to ford using a firing order that creates a rocking couple. And unfortunately there is absolutely nothing you can do about it other than hope you got an engine that’s balanced happily from the factory

They did other than the bad batch of valve springs for the 2020 MY i still wouldn’t get one, I’ve driven more than a few and hard. They all had really nvh issues at different rpm’s. Like man that’s not good when they’re not consistent between these cars and one blew up at 8k miles

Maybe he meant 5 liters lmfao 🤣 because let’s cut the crap the Gt350s had alot of problems and the lt6 is having a lot of valve train noise, we shall see

The mustang gt rods are the same ones from the gen 2/3 which are the sinster forged rods from the boss 302. They’re very reliable and will handle 800-900whp pretty reliably. The dark horse gets the updated heavy duty forged rods from the Gt500 which are upgraded rods from the gt350 so here to...

Honestly this isn’t all that bad the poor bronco guys got shafted and i mean shafted. I knew of a few builds that took the better part of two years to show up. They got a lot ford points and extra little goodies but let’s cut the crap, it’s unacceptable

I’d be surprised with this dual intake setup if ford doesn’t come out with a next generation flat plane crank engine. It literally solves all there firing order issues we shall see

One of the engineers said they had to get rid of cylinder deactivation because of the 7500 rpm redline. Now there is some bs with that because the f150s when tuned can rev past that but for durability testing I’m sure less is more and they got rid of it for mechanical gremlins long term. The...

I’d just run a basic 91 octane tune and leave it be

Honda is in a very weird place because while i like the new civic SI and it’s very affordable it’s like man you guys don’t wanna spend anything on reliability improvements, it’s just bare minimum engineering. That’s why you won’t see very many of them heavily modded long term without rotating...

They even warn you not to run that map unless you want slip lmfao and an aftermarket clutch for them is really stupid expensive, i know few guys have done type R clutches but it’s got some things you have to change to install it not a good modding platform at all

That’s because the civic si’s have an open deck block and one of the crappiest stock clutches known to man. They’re a great car if you run a nice conservative tune, intercooler and daily it. But it’s no Honda of the past lol

Back in 2011 when the coyotes came out I’d agree with you because we did have a lot of tuning issues but now i wouldn’t be the first guy testing crap but after a year i will not have a stock car. The days of wild tuning are pretty much over because if a tuner is blowing stuff up left and right...

Time for a history lesson 1) making a warranty safe tune isn’t that hard at all really most of the aftermarket tuners damn near do it already if your stock and you don’t wanna go hunting for crazy records hahaha 2) the hard part is getting it carb certified it takes 6 months to 18 month...

Here is my take the mustang GT isn’t too bad price wise even loaded and while i love the dark horse and the fact we got a new performance badge. I don’t see them really holding long term value because it’s a lot like the this last mach 1 just an updated/massaged mustang gt. And the sales numbers...
