I dreamed I did this last night. :facepalm:

Is it a stock converter? Is it a stock 10R80?

ESS still shows "Coming Soon!" for S650. I have also discovered the Smooth Boost Controller since then. @robvas (I think) made me aware of it. https://www.smoothbooststore.com/product-page/smoothboost-centrifugal-supercharger-boost-control-bov

5.8 seconds to 100 mph

Wife and son install ESS

MLK? Martin Luther King?

That's where Ford put my Dark Horse cooler, but I think the race cars (Dark Horse R) put the after market unit in front of the radiator (and they also have a different, dual pass radiator). There is a manual with updates for all of the things that they install and how to install them. There...

You can also consider upgrading to a better, aftermarket solution for oil cooling. Setrab 960 oil cooler and -12 lines #5 full quote at that link: 10 psi/1000 rpm under load is normal optimum pressure for function and longevity. I have confirmed this with multiple respected Ford/Coyote...

231° oil temp! Does your model have an oil cooler?

It looks like traction issues to me, which is to be expected at full throttle on an 875 horsepower engine. Great acceleration, though. It is funny how on the second video as you are slowing down it looks like it is crawling, but a glance at the speedometer shows is still reading in the 90s...

I am not sure we are arguing or even disagree, lol.

It is what it is. A quarter mile recorded under certain conditions at a certain time. Every one of these videos brings out complaints about how they launched, what mode they used, and so on. And as I pointed out, none of them are on a drag strip.

They are not doing this on a prepared surface. If you watch this video, the old Challenger just spins while the other cars leave it behind. It is charging up hard toward the end but is not able to catch up before the finish line. This is not at a drag strip with a sticky launch pad that...

You can't get the 4 cylinder Ecoboost?

Ford has come a long way. Decades ago, it took nitromethane fuel, a supercharger, and Phase 4 heads just to get a ford V-8 to 600 whp. Goose: You can shut the gate on this one, Maxie... it's the duck's guts! Barry, MFP Garage Mechanic: [excitedly] She sucks nitro... with Phase 4 heads! 600...

It was a Corvette until the wife insisted I needed a rear seat . . . I feel your pain.

I dinged my wife's door when we were dating, and I did not know her all that well yet. I feel a sense of shame even now, remembering it so many years later. I brought it up the other day, and she does not even remember it. 🤣 She said she already knew she wanted to marry me that early, so . . .

Prescient.
