Id love to see a case where you get knock without one installed that goes away when you put one on. also how much water vs oil is in there if it freezes?

No roll race?

What's the cheaper engine going to be? And how much less HP is it going to have? You mention the Supra, which run 12.1 seconds at 117 mph (according to Car and Driver) and makes 420hp at the rear wheels...about the same as the current Mustang GT.

How many miles has your S650 been supercharged? Stage 1 or 2? Other mods? Any issues?

At least datalog before-after so you can see in how much timing it's adding...

They all suck. But Ford is by far the worst when it comes to recalls.

He's in the UK....Mustang is listed as 10k though https://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/Catalog/owner_information/CG2147GBR-202211-20230207101401_v2.pdf

It's probably same if they have the same CARB exemption for the Whipple, Ford, VMP, and Lethal kits.

Yea, we've covered all that. But I'm just saying for people who put 12-15k on a year, they shouldn't be letting their oil go to 10k, even if the computer says to.

You said it won't let the miles get to 10k, and then you said yours always seems to come on at 5k. I'm guessing you don't put 10k/year on your car?

Just because it doesn't for you...

100% sure? It definitely does on other Ford vehicles like the F150 and Maverick/Bronco. either way it was a more general complaint about the ridiculous things the automakers are doing these days.

The same engineers responsible for record amounts of recalls? They are either fools or hampered by bean counters, the EPA, etc Do you honestly think they decided on those thin oils (that they recently stopped recommending) on their own? These are the same people putting rubber drive belts in...

Most mechanics that see what these engines look like with those 10mm oil changes will disagree with you just because an oil passes an online oil test doesn't mean it's not causing problems in your engine

You think they aren't? https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/is-87-octane-adequate.570831/

different dynos, different cars, different days.... and of course picking and choosing runs

While we're at it let's go back in time to 2002, when the WRX was first released in the USA with 227hp. Those things only dynoed 175hp! Works out to 23% drivetrain loss

Subaru underrated the power a little bit. It's a well known fact in the WRX community. No big deal. BMW often does that with their performance cars as well. There's no way to get 5% drivetrain loss especially on an AWD vehicle. I wouldn't say ford inflates the HP. Factory rated at 480hp, say...
