  1. Finally Picked It Up! Whipple Installed! Just Wow.

    Cats don't fail under daily driving with boost. If you're doing back-to-back pulls on a track, yes, you'll blow out the cats pretty quick. It all depends on how you drive.
  2. Do I need to upgrade GT rear brakes for Whipple install

    *IF* you anticipate ever having a situation where you are going 130mph and need to slam the brakes to avoid hitting something, and you already have the brembo brakes, yes, I recommend the Hawk Mustang GT PP HPS 5.0 Front Brake Pads and G-Loc Mustang GT PP/Dark Horse 4-Piston Brembo Calipers Rear...
  3. Audiophile System Build in 2026 Mustang

    Thanks for sharing, nice to know I'm not alone with it. Do you think loud sounds may have contributed to yours or do you think it was just bad luck?
  4. 2028 Camaro 7th gen approved! 🄊

    Lately I've been seeing more and more speculation that they're going to put the new 6.7L V8 (LS6) in it, which will crank out 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque. That's about 100 more torque than our beloved mustang, which is a lot more power under the curve. However, I expect the LS6 to be...
  5. The 2026 Mustang Dark Horse SC outputs 795 Horsepower

    It would of course be more expensive, but if history is a guide people will continue to pay more for better tech. Our S650's would become the C7's of the mustang world, but that's not a bad thing if you ask the C7 community. We could claim that the only REAL mustangs are front-engine RWD until...
  6. The 2026 Mustang Dark Horse SC outputs 795 Horsepower

    Dodge did it with their new charger six-pack and as a result it will beat a stock GT (and maybe even a supercharged coyote) to 60 mph and through the 1/8. Only past thst and beyond, when the mustang hooks up in 3rd gear will it pull away. If Chevy makes their new camaro AWD I don't think Ford...
  7. The 2026 Mustang Dark Horse SC outputs 795 Horsepower

    I’m seeing a lot of frustration today over the official numbers confirming the Dark Horse SC will make 795 HP rather than breaking the 800 HP mark. The reality is that adding more power to this specific platform wouldn't translate to meaningful performance gains from a dig. Here is the physical...
  8. Audiophile System Build in 2026 Mustang

    If you're using a big amp and subwoofers for pounding bass, keep the decibel measurements in mind with regard to what level causes hearing damage. I had friends in that space about 20 years ago, and myself had a system pumping out over 130 db in the cabin, and now not only do I have hearing...
  9. Making the S650 as capable or better than an SS 1le

    I did basically this same thing for my GT convertible, except the tires and plus jacking rails, and it makes a night-and-day difference. Car handles more like a German car now and less like a boat. It costed less than $3k total installed by Steeda in Valdosta. Totally worth it in my opinion to...
  10. What music do you like to blast while driving your Mustang?

    Added a couple more to my playlist. Was waiting till I found high quality digital versions to add them.
  11. Coyote/S650 Derangement Syndrome

    What some people really ought to be upset about is all the lead exposure that caused them to be so cranky now in their old age 🤣 Get off the internet and go touch some grass. Or go drive your mustang.
  12. Steeda H pipe vs stock ave

    Can confirm quiet mode is still quiet. Took mine on a 500 mile road trip, and on quiet mode on the interstate I didn't even notice it.
  13. Steeda H pipe vs stock ave

    I concur with what everyone else has said here. I have a GT with active valve exhaust and H-pipe. Cold start, especially from inside a garage, is loud, but otherwise it's only slightly louder in all the other situations. When I remote start it in parking lots as I walk up to it, it sounds...
  14. Painting pony emblem on front grille

    That's what I did and it worked great. Eventually replaced the grille with an MP concepts grille to remove the pony badge altogether, but that required taking the bumper off which is much easier with a lift so I just paid a body shop to do it.
  15. What music do you like to blast while driving your Mustang?

    I have a playlist specifically for this:
  16. New Whipple now needs stickier tires for the street. Any suggestions?

    Interesting, thanks for sharing this! As an engineer, I can't refute an A/B test with sensors. The standard MMR crossover kit might truly be more of an "air-bleed" tool rather than a thermal management tool. The TMO data reinforces that the best way to keep the heads cool is to keep the entire...
  17. New Whipple now needs stickier tires for the street. Any suggestions?

    People call oil pump gears snake oil too, and that's fine. If you don't want it, just don't buy it. I know people who don't think home insurance is worth it either. It's just my opinion that if you have the engine apart anyway it's a cheap and easy to install mod while you're already in there...
  18. New Whipple now needs stickier tires for the street. Any suggestions?

    Anyone can correct me if im wrong but my understanding is that while the Gen 4 got dual throttle bodies and internal strengthening, the coolant flow path through the heads remains largely the same as the Gen 1-3. The coolant enters the front of the block and heads, but it has no "exit" at the...
  19. New Whipple now needs stickier tires for the street. Any suggestions?

    You're spot on about rotating mass in a vacuum, but for a Whipple build, the priority shifts entirely to traction. An 8.5" wheel maxes out around a 255mm tire, which just can't put down 800hp,.you'd be spinning through 3rd gear. Regarding fitment, I could be wrong, but I think 20s actually...
