....it's a beige horse...
1986 base V6 coupe, low miles, rust free....
donor is an 88 GT with a rebuilt engine in it, Hurst shifter, Eibach suspension, etc. etc.
Gonna marry them and make the EFI work. The 86 is CFI EEC 4 so, we should have a starting point. I have full harness in both cars.
2014 MGT, 27K, stock BBP suspension. Steering has been getting draggy, sticky, notchy and not centring properly. No indications of mechanical distress, no shakes at high speeds. Tires are worn out but, it really doesn't feel like a problem there. Moving the tires around and absolutely ensuring...
I just found some memories that led directly to what's in the garage today.
Wish I'd stuck with this car and gone full restomod on it. That just wasn't even heard of at the time but me slapping some later-model bits on it indicated the way forward. I wanted at the time to stick a fuelie 5.0...
at 75 mph +....2014 MGT BBP
Switched wheels front to back, no change. Checked spindles for runout with my homemade dial indicator made of paint sticks, duct tape and a meat skewer. No runout.
Got under the car to do some O2 work and I see the cardboard bit between the rad support and bumper...
I'm getting multiple codes from my upstream O2 driver's side. Slow response and ref voltage out of range. Car is 2014 GT and has 27,000 miles on it, stock exhaust. LTFT are showing over 10% both sides so, I suspected unmetered air first. I've smoke checked the engine 3 times, no indication of...
Since I had to replace my intake manifold a couple weeks ago due to a nitrous backfire, I'm encountering something that is giving me pause. Now, I had fitment problems with the intake because the 11-13 intakes are different than the 14, I discovered. Some mods were required to the structural...
Having destroyed my factory intake manifold in, let's say, a tuning mishap, I believed that all these intakes were the same and bought a take-off one from Ebay. I have a very late '14 automatic with the weird one '15 cylinder head and one '14 casting.
The two manifolds ARE different, as I found...
I know it's hard to believe but, there is actually someone out there that wants your stock junk above.
I had a little mishap with the N2O and I'm in need of a new airbox and tube.
I'm going to need it shipped to 98281, unless you're really close to the Canadian border in BC.
Let me know if...
Since E85 has appeared where I live, I got a tune written for 150 on E85 and I stuck it in the car. Driving around, it's actually pretty good, unlike my gas nitrous tunes, which REALLY suck off the jug. Car is an otherwise stock automatic 2014 MGT.
Kind of a pleasant surprise this but, E85 is...
I admit, I have a problem. I like to mod stuff. I really do.
Here's my problem: My Coyote is too damn fast as it is.
How is it so, mod-wise? Totally stock BBP '14 GT auto with some mild arm work in the back, a slick tire and a 100 shot.
Why is it too fast? First time out on the spray I hit...
I've been firing 100 shots through my car for a bit now but, I've encountered an ongoing issue I can't seem to solve. Every once in a while, the solenoids get 12v to them whenever the activation switch is on. This has burned 2 nitrous solenoids thus far and filled the manifold with N2O once...
Yep...it's a Hellcat. It's always cool when your best pass is caught on video and you beat a Hellcat in the process.

Another trip to the track with my stock auto car plus NX plate at 100 setup. This time no issues, six clean passes in what was pretty average air but, I'm happy with the results. This is a full weight car with every option but glass roof, weighing in at 3770 pounds, with me in it, on fumes. It...
I'm at the strip alot and I'm running my 2014 auto car and I'm trying to get the best out of it.
VMP tunes, 87-91-94
UMI lowers
Steeda upper
Hoosier 28X10X16 slicks
I seem mired at 12.4-12.5 at 113. I'm trying to push the car down on the motor as far as I can. Technique is load it on the...
I am trying to get the lower blanking panels out of my 14's bumper to put in CS fogs and I cannot get these sons of bitches to release. I am pulling down on the upper tab and I'm giving it everything I have but they won't move. anyone got any hints here, short cutting them off? It looks...
So, I finally get to the track with my bought-new NX plate kit, 100 horse shot tune and slicks.
I get one hit in and it's not a bad start, 11.7 at 120.
Next hit, I get to my pit and hear hissing. Sunuvabitch if the nitrous solenoid isn't open and is filling the manifold with JUG...
...I'm so excited....first day of the drag racing season starts Friday.....and I have a setup to test. Nothing better than that.
This year diagnosed with an acute autoimmune disorder that leads to rampant polyarthritis so...I was devastated that I won't be able to run my drag bike at the...
This has been covered before no doubt but, searching revealed limited insight.
I have a 2014 auto, VMP tunes, X4.
I just reset the car back to it's VMP 91 tune from 94 because I wasn't in love with how the engine felt on the 94 tune with the 94 Chevron available here. While in there, I...
Yet another issue with these.
My little horses look like they've been hit with a shotgun blast or were in a scene from Sin City. The edges are all blurry, there is scattered light everywhere. Anyone got any guidance on whether this is fixable by me or if I just have to have Ford replace...
Decided after my massive wreck post supercharging my last 5.0, to throw a subtle 100 shot of N20 for use at the track, on my 2014.
NX plate kit. I've used spray before, even currently on my drag bike. Liking the idea of keeping perfect driveability, mileage, easy power and safety of NA with...
Hey, tell me if i am crazy.....I have 3 tunes on my auto car from VMP, 87, 91, 93.
Whaddya all think about throwing a 75 wet shot on top of the 87 NA tune, running 94 in it? I expect the timing's been pulled back pretty far to accommodate the 87. Think t'll be safe and ballpark-y? I'll DL...
So, the insurance company said they couldn't pay for my supercharger but asked if I'd like my totalled '12 taken to a shop to have it removed? I said, tow it to my house and I'll do it in a day. They agreed. I took some art shot (lol) while it's here....
So....
After my recent serious wreck and subsequent purchase of an automatic 2014 to replace my 600+ horsepower MT '12....I am feeling the need for a really good tune. Track Apps says this car is a strong runner as is. It knocked out 90 mph at the 1/8th, according to it, repeatedly...
After my recent severe wreck, I am getting back on the horse right away. 2014 GT, auto this time, everything but backup cam and glass roof. Stock for now so, it's not violent like the old car was but, it is really nice to drive.
