I've been watching PBD, and I'm pretty sure he made the claim that he's actually seen whipples calibration and is just improving on it with either spark or cam timing adjustment, as he gets incremental gains as he does pulls, but that's not a NA application.
If you want the most reliable, Stay...
They already are... but they all void the warranty provided by whipple/ford when you go with the stage 1 package, which is the whole reason OP bought his vehicle from the dealer he did.
go with the HO version 100%. both versions bolt up to the stock exhaust, you have to buy an adapter if you want to mate it to a 3" aftermarket exhaust.
HO cats are rated for the boost / extra HP, and will last longer than our factory cats when subjected to boost, allegedly.
Sure. Go with a reputable full synthetic. Unless you're doing a lot of below freezing cold starts then consider 0w20.
0w30 (cold starts) or 5w30 if you drive the absolute piss out of it.
They do have an interchiller on this build.
I'd love to see the pre/post IAT's on this.
I think it might do 850 wheel on 93, not sure I'd want to risk it, however DI is kinda magic.
Also please note these numbers are from a hub dyno, and is attempting to calculate drivetrain loss, so the...
1) Assuming you go with 1-7/8th or larger, and high flow cats, probably. But you can get a dyno to say anything. More gains to be had with a tune
2) Catless are a fair bit louder at all times. There's before/after clips on yt for S650 and S550.
3) 100% if you believe people on the forums. The...
this is the dumbest take I’ve read all day. I keep forgetting that humans have anything to do with climate shift, and that the EPA is solely responsible for the demise of the muscle car, not because people want other choices, not because more people are coming to the market really don’t care for...
nt555r2 scored last by a mile in pretty much every handling test.
I just put them on my car, really not sure they're faster than my outgoing PS4S, and they're definitely worse in anything that isn't hot, bare pavement.
Also when braking hard, the rears that are NT555's consistently try to...
my DH, if I put it into track mode, even with windows up it's obnoxiously loud, especially if you floor it above ~3k rpm.
Everyone for a few KM around knows you're up to no good with AE in track mode.
Quiet mode is still a hair louder than I'd like. Normal is pretty good for a muscle car...
I am also annoyed with how basic ford is with some of the "standard" options on the lower tiers. My darkhorse doesn't even have the universal garage opener, or illuminated vanity mirrors, amongst other things.
IF you boost it:
The performance pack rims are kind of a throw away. I have nitto...
I'll start, For me is being able to pull the dipstick out without having to work around the factory strut tower brace.
I know, I know, it's super trivial, but little things like that make life easier.
Ford/GM did a really good job with the 10 speed. It's probably tied with the ZF 8 speed used in Audi S8 / RS7 and Dodge hellcat for functionality in my experience.
The 10 speed keeps you in peak power better between gear shifts. It shifts lightning quick, doesn't hunt around, you can't feel it...
