It is all one tank, but there is a big hump in the middle for the driveshaft. The fuel pump has a small line that goes over to the other side and sucks fuel over the hump and onto the side with the fuel pump. Ford's OEM pump is not strong enough to suck fuel against centrifugal force when...

They passed a law here in Georgia in 2014 that says you are violating the law if you know or should know that somebody is trying to overtake you and remain in the left lane and not immediately move to the right. There is an exception for when traffic does not allow, as it would be kind of silly...

Is this your car's before and after dyno or just a generic bit of advertising by PBD for their tune?

The tune is the blue line. It is higher everywhere, not just at higher rpms. It certainly does not have a narrower power band. Are you looking at the same chart? The peaks did move ever so slightly higher, but the the line is higher at the same rpm as the stock rpm peak power and torque...

My state has signs that say things like Slower traffic keep right. Of course, everybody thinks "I am not slower," so they all stay left.

You also have highway signs that say things like, Get out of the left lane. Don't hold up Texas. I thought it was great.

I am in Georgia. The state legislature restricted the use of speed detection devices to writing tickets for only more than 10 over. That applies to city and county, but not State Patrol, but it is just sort of customary here that 15 over is the point at which they will pull you over. You may...

I was waiting for somebody to find the real culprit.

Well, in a way, that is what I do by using the cruise control. I have a very hard time driving at a reasonable speed just using the "this speed feels right and safe" internal speed meter. My internal speed meter is set way higher than everybody else, apparently, and far too high for my...

The Pirelli Trofeo RS is rated for 186 mph, so why limit the Dark Horse to 168 mph?

🤣 That would drive me bonkers. I normally set it for 13-14 over the speed limit, which keeps one from getting tickets around here.

Is this so that you can get your mixture exact for the tune you are running?

I managed to get 20.5 yesterday when I had an interstate trip by waiting until I was up to cruising speed, flipping on the cruise control at 83 mph and then resetting the mpg - it was at 20.5 when I arrived back home. I was stopped by a nice Sheriff's Deputy on the return trip who said he...

Oh, my car runs in the 190s all summer driving on the street. It never gets out of the the 180s for shorter trips. The fan is on because I am almost always running A/C even when it is not summer. The Dark Horse has to be really pushed to see a CHT over 200. I have gotten the CHT over 220 on...

The latter, obviously. Raise the temperature before the limp mode kicks in? I suppose as long as it is still safe . . . I always thought the engineers started retarding spark and making other changes to save the engine as it gets hotter by limiting the amount of new heat the driver can...

I see that Brenspeed has a two inch thick radiator for the S550 (GT and GT350). https://www.brenspeed.com/77715.html I can't find anybody selling anything like this for the S650. The Mishimoto appears to be about the largest capacity radiator available, and I cannot even find the OEM spec to...

It seems like nobody answered your question. No. We are not allowed to remove the catalytic converters. Period. There are several thousand dollar fines involved if you do. Automotive shops that do it can face a $25,000 fine. We have 50 states. 45 of them mirror the federal law on this...

Oh, no! It is Blue Ember Metallic! I have been scared to death of mine getting scratched with the kid playing around the car.

That looks like the phone app. Ford Pass? Is there a cost? Is there any downside to installing this on my iPhone? Is there any benefit? I read that it is useful if you lock your keys in your car. Anything else? What does it do?
