Has anybody else been able to replicate this?

What e.t. is yours running on E30 and, I assume, no tuning but the Whipple tune.

What tires did you run, and what sort of air temperatures up there in Canada in October? Any issues with getting the tires hot enough to stick?

Mine does

Technology keeps moving forward. Both engines and oils are way better than half a century ago, and probably better than a decade ago. I haven't kept up with it all, but oil is improving over time.

Oops, sorry, wrong post

Just FYI, Ford Motorcraft full synthetic is five bucks and some change per quart at RockAuto.com

So the open breathers I ran in the 80s and 90s, and the hose down to the header to draft vacuum from the valve cover breather as some ran, probably are a no go from the factory by Ford? :shock:

Could be a host of other factors affecting mileage, even the fuel blend in that area changing. I saw a claim of 5.5 mpg from switching oil online elsewhere. I have doubts.

Oh, yeah, I get that nobody is doing them with Mustangs. That was kind of the point of my post. I thought you meant, well, nobody. I posted a video above with a kid who added the alky sensor to his Mustang, but that car was produced more than a quarter of a century ago. EDIT: I did not...

How is that possible? My car is slipping all over the road in Drag Mode with the traction control off. It's crazy. It gets even worse now that it is the end of October with temperatures dropping.

Video is gone . . . :frown:

Difficult to improve upon the handling package Dark Horse and Trofeo RS . . .

I have an automatic, but I have not experienced the steering issue you describe. It could be I am not as fast as you, though, and maybe I will encounter this issue with more experience. I doubt it, however, because you mention it happens even under heavy braking. I did some very late and...

I do not understand this comment. General Motors does. This is not like, my opinion, man. Audi used to offer some models with flex fuel, using a sensor. I owned one. Google tells me that they do not sell any in the American market today.

Note the "slow to adjust" comment and they do not recommend it for forced induction. This tells me all I need to know. They are not using a flex fuel sensor for some reason. The car struggles to run until it figures out a good ratio to use. See after 5 minutes or so in the video. That is...

That does not mean flex fuel at all. Flex fuel has an alcohol sensor and trims the fuel instantly based on the alcohol level in the fuel, sensed as it passes over the sensor. Tunes for E30, E50, and E85 are just that, three tunes for different levels of alcohol. A true flex fuel tune would...

Now that tuning is out for the S650, E85 for fuel is a real possibility. This video is an excellent tutorial about ethanol as fuel, and, even if you already know about some of it, you will learn some new things within just a few minutes. It will answer questions such as, why is 1.63 used as a...

That is a very good question. Follow up questions would be, how do we know it is "proper" and what is a flex fuel sensor? You might be able to come up with a few more important questions after you have answers to those two.
