Something available all the way back on S197's. Wild.
Its the little things. It doesn't take away from the actual driving experience or anything, but then you look at cars that do have it and think "aw man :("
I'm surprised you managed to get 18's that clear the 6 piston brembo's, unless I'm reading that wrong and those are rears
Whats the reasoning for not recommending the 20's?
Downshift to second while rolling into a 4 way intersection, clutch in at around 20 mph, rip the e-brake up and cut the wheel a hair, then drop it, and accel away. Its fun
My opinion just comes from the previous generations of Coyote. Theres plenty of dudes out there hitting 6 digits on their odometer running raised redline tunes, probably safe to run a more conservative tune on a DH motor.
On a less technical side, you'll notice quality control in cheap tires is pretty bad. They will come out of round from factory, will need additional weights to balance.
Also consider that you're paying for the R&D that goes into making newer better tires. That R&D slowly trickles down to the...
For sure, though I suspect Ford also is running a leaner AFR for emissions. If you dial the AFR a little richer, and theres no float, I think an additional 500 rpm won't be an issue, just my $.02. But 500 rpm is so not worth the risk, hahah.
Me, personally, the rev limit is the one verboten thing I would not be comfortable touching on a car. I understand some cars can handle it, and obviously some people build motors to accommodate it, but unless you're tearing the motor apart I would advise against it.
The tuner likely wants to...
Yes, but the amount of recalls can certainly reflect on the culture of a company.
If a company has double the amount of recalls as the brand with the next most recalls, then it is no longer 'part of the process', but has now instead become a sign of poor QC. Every company has recalls, but few...
Yeah, this thread here.
Apparently they were set up "looser", as per Palm Beach. The reason why, though, is up in the air

Maybe it was only on F150's, but I distinctly remember reading about something regarding the bore on gen 3's. Either undersized pistons, or QA, or something along that line
Its an incredibly easy way to kill an hour or two. The problem is that there are, like, three or four different and distinct ticks that people were all attributing to a single name.
I'm of the opinion that the typical tick is a mix of fuel injectors noise and cavitation in the oil pump. The...
Can't help you there. Could be a huge number of things, I can't say without having seen/heard it myself.
Being at the bottom of your dipstick hashmark wont cause low oil pressure/valve ticking/spun bearing, if thats your concern. modern 5.0's have a 10 qt sump, very large capacity.
In my...
I'm willing to bet what happened here was when the oil was changed, the technician filled the oil, changed the filter, then proceeded to check the level and saw that it was at the top hash. Following this, he gave it the green light and sent the car on its merry way.
He likely did not start the...
