And, just to be clear, that is in D, not in M (I can see D is orange and surrounded by an orange square, so it looks like it is in Drive). I am pretty sure that this is the case, but I wanted to to confirm.
Is there any downside to doing this?
It seems like Ford would have had it this way from the factory.
It is not terribly important information, but it would be kind of neat to see the gear number displayed when not in manual mode.
Also, if you are graduating from street driving to track, depending on your needs for a back seat and such, a proper track seat and roll bar or even a harness bar and so on . . . personally, if I was going to do that (mine is a street car, and my kids sit in the back, well, one, I cannot fit...
May I make some suggestions that you did not ask about?
If not, then please skip this post, and I apologize.
First, tires. Get better tires. PS4S are great tires. I am driving around with them on my Dark Horse since December. I am aware that the Ford Performance school uses them on the...
DarkHorseTT,
I cannot figure out what connects to that hole in the rear driver side of the Cobra Jet manifold.
Unfortunately, we do not have a lot of good technical knowledge and hands on work on engines on this mustang7g.com forum, no depth of experience. The mustang6g.com forum is...
You are quoting old posts. robvas beat me to posting (see above) but the twin throttle bodies are mounted on a Boschma proprietary adapter.
As for the ECU, they are all tunable now and have been for almost a year.
Steeda has a video of 576 horsepower to the wheels using this manifold...

Look at the video in post # 6 from Boschma (the maker of that dual throttle body adapter you installed). He plugged the passenger side. The PCV goes into the intake on the passenger side behind the throttle bodies (from the valve cover straight to the intake). You can see the driver side...
For the front tube, see this video about 5 minutes in.
and these photos are an S550 intake, but you can see
where the hose goes:

A high speed track is the only place where the increased aero is even going to be noticed or make any difference.

And turbos excel with E85. The Ecoboost is no exception.
I do not know where the limits of the stock block, pistons, rods and crank lie. This guy is discussing 400 horsepower at the wheels. Note he does not discuss the S650 until almost the end of the video (11 minutes or so). Bottom line...
