I just hope my engine build is half as meticulous as this!! Parts should be landing in Australia for mustang motorsport to do the tear down and rebuild in two weeks (lockdowns permitting). They’re the Australian “Shelby America” and happen to be 10 mins down the road Daym he’s done an...

I’ve not felt this excitement in the 5.8 community for some time. Andrew get on and video the build and dyno that MF!! Still waiting on my parts from the US... no where near as extreme as this but this is so inspiring. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I have the 800hp. Building the engine over the next couple of months so looking forward to “leveling up” [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I’ve read quite a fair bit of conjecture on this over the last few years (particularly with the VMP v KB rhetoric) Best I can come up with is whipple will give you big power up top and VMP (eaton) will give you more power down low. KB won’t get going until it spins fast enough and then you need...

It’s entirely possible to improve the handling on the S197 to god like levels and it doesn’t have to break the bank. Even a ‘68 can have >1G cornering if you want it to Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

My diff guy said that the whine can be dialed in and out with the pinion angle. I have on car adjustable lower control arms so will be testing this out. To be honest, the whine isn’t bad and so much more preferable to having the 3.31 - a relatively undrivable final because it’s way too long...

I believe the pinion bearing is the TIMKEN M802048 ... Just rebuilt my diff after the pinion seal (or something) was leaking. Found the previous diff guy had literally shafted me by using the one in the kit as opposed to the one that the car was designed with Did loads of research to track...

Seriously consider a watts link. Changes the car completely. It hooks, it’s stable and confidence inspiring. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

It’s also front heavy like the 2013/14. Front heavy are not as track friendly IMO Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

On the GT500, see if you can drive one that has suspension mods and is more dialed in. From factory they weren’t comparable to IRS. Frankly, they’re not confidence inspiring I put a watts link in mine (cortex) and everyone who has driven it that has come from an S550 has been amazed. It still...

Thats awesome. I reverted to a classic battery after having issues. Will reach out to Antigravity to see if they will take an exchange! I’ll be in the US early August - hopeful!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Perhaps KW have already solved this... has anyone tried fitting/ using this? https://www.kwsuspensions.com/products/kw-suspensions-kw-electronic-damping-cancellation-kit-ford-mustang-shelby-gt500-2008-2014-68510383.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Update on the Lithium Antigravity in the S197. It doesn’t work Went for a track day the other day and the damn electrics kept dropping out. I believe that there is an issue with the voltage stability. Either too high or too low. I went through forscan and found codes for too high voltage...

A quick update on this now we’ve been for a few runs in the car. I am experiencing some electrical issues - mainly the peripherals in the car such as stereo, Bluetooth and the dash. What seems to happen is that they all go through initialization randomly. Not quite at the level of rebooting...

What car are you running Jam421? I read a LOT of background material on this and concluded it was only in relation to 2015+ Fords when they started using complex battery management. There are ways of configuring the car to switch off this BM through Forscan etc. but not needed on the S197...

Haha - yes, in Australia, if the car is less than 30 years old it needs to be RHD. I bought the car new in Cali and had it shipped, converted to RHD and complainced for the roads here. One of only c. 15 in the country. Quick update: I had a battery monitor on over night and the battery...

New battery in. It was a breeze to fit and car started straight away. No issues at all with the electrical function Wow this thing is small and light. It seems so weird compared to the existing battery and other AGMs I’ve got. Starting with the weight of the battery, the ATX-30 RS is...

So I ordered the ATX-30 RS (the restart version). My supplier didn’t have the non-restart version available. The ATX-30 RS has a CCA of 880. I ordered it with the terminals too and it came in at US$400 It arrived today in a box - I haven’t opened the box yet. The posty handed me the box and...

Not living in the US or being a US citizen, I’m fascinated. Where does the Gas Guzzler Tax go? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

From everything I’ve read I believe this to be a feature of Fords newer cars. I have a Ford Everest which has quite a complex battery management on it (lots of screen prompts when the car is in use but not turning over) and an S197 which seems straight forward by comparison. I think the S550...

So I have the BXT-96R. Warranty of two years and it lasted six years. The BXT-96R is $150. (Side note: I’m in Australia so I will never get an equivalent battery). The CCA is 625 (at 32’F). Weight is 32lb The YTX12-24 has a three year warranty - not equivalent to how long it will last but...

So I agree with your point in part. A new lightweight hood would not have the weight savings but would cost a few thousand dollars to upgrade. We spend more for less in other areas for performance increases I’m thinking 10kg/ 25lb weight off the front end would make a significant difference...

I was looking at the ATX-30 and the YTX12-24. The CCA is 800+ and the warranty is 3 years

I came out of an IRS sports car into a 13GT500 and was quite disappointed with the handling of the car when I first got it. I put every BMR component on and was still not happy with the panhard set up on the SRA After a lot of internet research I fell upon the watts link as a possible solution...
