Could you explain post # 31 for those of us who have no idea what we are staring at, without all the snarky sarcasm? What is the chart? What does your highlighted 496 at 5th and 9,000 represent? What do all of the green, yellow, orange, and pink colors mean?

Gasp! Argh! 430 bucks???

He still has 3.15.

Just answering my own first question. Apparently powdered sintered steel rods. https://www.facebook.com/100000580527312/videos/pcb.25940896782179651/25029545536735144 And, a more important issue - very tight ring gaps, a concern for boost and heat

Robert Papini found no forged rods? He did hardness testing on the camshafts? Ford committed massive consumer fraud with respect to these two issues? Did he check the balance of the crankshaft, because Ford made claims about that, too?

I have a beautiful blue ember metallic paint . . . covered in white spots like I rinsed it in milk. I am on a well, probably drilled down into a calcium cave. Anybody on a well have any tips for me? My prior car was silver, so I never noticed this before.

So they are not doing this at 4-5:00 a.m. when almost nobody is on the road, like that Swedish guy years back, but out in crowded traffic? I cannot believe I was totally unaware of this trend.

How accurate are Dragy times? I do not have any experience with Dragy. Also, he says in the comments weight reduction, and he is going to make a video weighing all the parts he removed to get a total. E85. Check out that comfy seat in his video from two weeks ago: He got it all the way...

Wait - there is a social media trend to film yourself running from the police and then post the evidence?

Really? Once you upgrade your connecting rods, buy the Magneride as a part of your suspension, and swap in a Tremec, is it still a $20k difference? I might have missed some stuff. Handling package has additional things that would need to be purchased aftermarket, e.g., larger wheels and tires...

Is the Dark Horse redline slightly higher?

Ford released something about "strengthened" camshafts. I do not recall seeing anything about a different grind or camshaft lobe profile. Crankshaft is balanced "uniquely" (not quite sure that that means), and, of course, forged connecting rods.

Wow. I cannot say the same. I hit 20 over accidentally all the time when I am merely trying to drive, not speed at all. This is why I try to use cruise control wherever possible, to keep me within a reasonable speed range.

Well . . . Except for the drivers who run.

I have a 2025 Explorer ST (3.0, 400hp), but I have not touched it yet. It is pretty fast for our family SUV as is.

That would drive me bonkers.

How do you know where the peak is unless you run it up and find out? Why would those pushing the limits to discover what they are all just stop where Ford stopped? Maybe we could take that same attitude about spark advance? Air/fuel ratio? Torque limiting settings? Should I go on?

- Better cooling - bigger brakes - better suspension - better wheels and tires - just an all around better package for safety and stability at speed, allowing law enforcement not only to chase, but to better avoid crashes while doing so. There is always risk in chasing, but it is best to...

Good for you for doing the right thing regardless of bad behavior by the other driver. You can only control yourself. There are always going to be some idiots on the road.

They do rev it over 8000 rpm, but as you can see the horsepower falls off rather steeply at 8000 rpm, and it is falling even before 8000 rpm, just not as steeply. in fact, the peak horsepower is at a low 6,557 rpm. That appears to be a lower peak than the previous two options.
