    Throttle Body Swap

    Try resetting your KAM before you do anything. You can either disconnect the battery or use your flash tool to reset it. Once you've done that, start it cold and let it idle until it warms up and then put some miles on it.

    McLeod Slave Cylinder

    I bought one of McLeod's adjustable throw out bearings, but having heard a similar thing told to me, I used a Ford replacement, so I don't have any direct experience with one. I do have an RXT, however.

    With power adders being equal - is there a big difference in MY's?

    Coyote ECUs are usually used to control an automatic. transmission The GT500 ECU has no provision for electronic transmission controls. Beyond that, it makes no sense to me. GT500 has no provision for VCT either. On edit: That 2012 is 1320Junkie's car. It's an automatic conversion. It's...

    Can you post a measurement on the thickness of the intercooler core? How much trouble was it to remove the plaques?

    VMP Intercooler Update (NOTE: Not the heat exchanger)

    As far as I know VMP is the only source for a 1" inlet and outlet in an off-the-shelf intercooler. J2 is still performing their flow mod on stock intercoolers but the price has gone up. The VMP unit also needs their 1" water manifold to work with their intercooler which will double the cost of...

    Couple Newbie Questions -

    No maintenance for the Ford oil separator. You can set the exhaust to default to sports mode through the setup screens. Press the cobra icon on the steering wheel and you should see the setting.

    What all bushings and other areas can I lubricate in the rear end to quiet down some pops, creaks, and clunks?

    If you have aftermarket control arms, you have provision for lubrication. These can wear out over time too, so I can't hurt to inspect them by removing them. If it's factory rubber, lubricant is not something that will fix the situation. It may quiet it temporarily, but will just deteriorate...

    VMP Performance Apex Predator Lid & Race/Street Intercooler Cores | A Detailed Look

    PBD's is machined from a solid block of billet aluminum. VMP uses a cast process. The latter should be cheaper to produce. Both are doing the same thing by adding space between the intercooler and the roof of the lid to improve air flow. PBD's will need some modification for the thicker...

    Throttle Body Upgrades

    I have a VMP unit I picked up that was purchased and never installed by another owner and it's waiting on installation after I send mine for a port.

    Throttle Body Upgrades

    If that o-ring even has a remote possibility of popping out of its groove and getting sucked into the rotors, I'd remove it.

    Exhaust Tips?

    This might work. You'd need to figure out what diameter you need and I'd get a fairly fine grit. It's pretty flexible, so you don't want a brush that is a smaller diameter than the smallest surface you would be polishing. I've used these in all sorts of applications. Flex-Hone

    Well, recommendations for longblock builders?

    That's how I pulled mine. I didn't even need to remove the hood, but the crane can't be that far from the short block.
