After getting mine back together with a new Gen 2 SB, I put down 640 at the wheels with a VMP Gen 3 on a mustang dyno, that's running an 88 mm pulley, the VMP twin 67 tb and long tubes no cats on 93 octane. Like said above, you may want to get rid of that GT500 tb and open up the exhaust.
Update - Ended up with a Gen 2 Short block installed with the Gen 1 Heads. Had the valve seats gone thru and checked out, put ARP studs and good Cometic head gaskets. Dyno'ed at 640 on the original tune with DW95's, no adjustments needed, go figure ? So apparently my original motor had already...
Injectors are new DW95's. And for sure the BAP needs to be checked out. What's the best way to check the BAP, any writes ups on that ? Its the VMP plug and play unit. I'll be pissed if that BAP caused this whole situation. Rather odd that the original codes were just cyl 7 and 8 though, if the...
A bit of an update, pulled the valve cover and no signs of damage up on top. Motor is getting dropped this coming week. Anyone have any leads on a Gen 1 built shortblock or a factory shortblock ? I've seen plenty of built Gen 2's available but the Gen 1 heads are not compatible from everything I...
The test compression on 7 was zero. and its a gen 1 motor. I got another set of eyes to have a look with the bore scope, looks like damage at the edge of the piston. So its going in to have a further look and pull the valve cover and check valves and also drop the motor and pull the pan. Not good !
OK guys Ive got a large issue going on. I finished up installing a gen 3 on my 14 manual and was in the process of data logging a 3 gear WOT pull from the vendor supplied initial tune. It started to break up a bit around 6k and all of a sudden it sounded like a something let loose (sounded like...
Im running the PP wheels on my 14, for the price it was great package. I think I payed like 1300 for new take off's. You cant event buy a good set of tires for that ! But the TPMS are not compatible. They changed the frequency on the new platform.
Looking for stock rear exhaust hangers and brackets, both Drv and Pass sides. Im in the process of upgrading my axle back and previous owner hacked up and installed some flowmasters and eliminated the factory hanger mounts.
Im running dynatech long tubes with recently gutted cats and corsa axle backs sports. Every since I did away with the cat material I get the occasional popping on decel, kinda cool at times, but annoying as well. Kinda like old school backfire. Anyone else experience this and is it somewhat...

I have a Ford Factory 3 button Homelink with door out of a very hard to find Mercury Mountainer. The home link is a part of the overhead console door that fits directly in place of the "L" overhead rear door, no cutting or hacking requried. Installation is as easy as tapping into your...
Just mounted up some new wheels and skins. AMR 20"s with 305/30 and 255/35 NT05's. Think it compliments the Vapor Silver and Black strips. What ya guys think !
Well basically finished up yesterday installing my new Dynatech system. All I can say is what a pain in the ass !!!! On install I read everything I could and prepared accordingly. No lift just jack stands in the garage. All went well without dropping K member, that is until completing Drv side...
Well finally got the 3:73's in tonight (again). Had to redo the pre load on pinion to get rid of a pretty bad decel whine. no more decel whine and and all is good, have a slight whine at 50 +, not bad but mildly noticeable.
Anyone have any suggestions on a good lube that might help with the...
Anybody try to fit a my10 trunk liner (close out) to an earlier model ? Always bothered me why Ford did not do this. And yes I know there are aftermarket versions but they are a little pricy.
Thanks !
