Hi Guys! I need a favor - can anyone steer me to a dyno of a Terminator at or near the 1000 HP level? - I recall seeing something in MM&FF, but I have been challenged on this, and need to know if I was wrong.

http://forums.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=195574 Some of you might be interested in some of my oil research and postings on ther above Forum. When I had my 2003 Cobra, I posted a lot on here, and much of it had to do with my specialty area of expertise. On S2KI, I am Road...

These are the most comprehensive and recent ones I could find. They date to March 2003 and May 2003. I will post the numbers, add a comment or two, and answer any questions you may care to pose. These tests were commisioned by Amsoil, but since they use standardized ASTM protocols, they could...

Hi Y'all, I'm back to keep you appraised of all things oily. Been looking at all the pics of the new Stang and Vette - not sure I like the look of the Vette by the way - must see in person. *********************************************** A while back, in a discussion about how to avoid wear...

I'm back for a few minutes. Some of you old timers may recall how i have posted that the new hydro-isomerized Group III oils were nearly as good as full synthetics? Here is an excellent article. http://www.machinerylubrication.com/article_detail.asp?articleid=533 Table 1 stinks, though...

Maybe someone has already posted this, but it did not show in the Search I did. Anyone else wonder of the Lysholm screw-type SC from the Ford GT will fit the Cobra?

http://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=144329 Nice vid of a E55 AMG - I got to drive my brother's car a week ago, and it pulls very, very strong - brakes are amazing. The supercharger is much quieter than the Eaton. The video car appears to pull to 260 kph - 160 mph or so...

..doesn't say anything about the 412 HP rating though. http://www.downsford.com/order_guides/2004%20Mustang%20SVT%20Order%20Guide.pdf

Bought it from Intenseperformance.com ; excellent customer service, shipped fast. I went with a red one, 9" to replace the AFE. I just liked the open element at the top of the filter.

The latest issue "clarifies" Ford's position on mods. In the last issue, they talked about pulleys and such, and obviously the guys in the front office of accounting went nuts when they inferred that it might make Ford "mod-friendly" and therefore more culpable for warranty coverage. In...

How about Valvoline Synpower? It scored much higher than Mobil 1, Royal Purple(tration), and other synoils from major oil companies on both the Noack volatility (an indice of high temp stability) and TBN (an indice of resistance to acid formation, and long service life). So it look like a good...

Not sure the where/when, but it appears this one is from 5.0 Mag

Beautiful weather yesterday...took the day off...cruising in the snake...and it is feeling very strong...no more stalling...dusted a WRX and an SS Camaro, passed Va State Inspection, even with my "too low" tag mount...life is good. Then, blink....hard SES light. WTF? Off to Autozone to grab...

I have been using Klasse on my little Soob and my wife's car. The One-for-All, then coats of the Sealant Glaze. Very impressed with the Glaze - easy on and off, and a hard brilliant finish. On a whim, I applied it over my Zaino (it is also an acrylic base like Zaino) on a small section of the...

I finally was able to get one of my lubrication buddies at the SAE to look up GM's specification for its Synchromesh product. "GM Synchromesh is formulated with high quality paraffinic base stocks, a multifunctional performance additive, a fluidity modifier, a shear stable viscosity index...

Kudos to those that posted how to re-set the idle. I did it several days ago, and so far not even close to a stall. I will drive one more day, then re-install my Amazon CAI and Chip and see how it all fits together. My analysis is that the poster (I should know who, but forgot) who said that...

I got about 10 PM's either questioning or saying I was nutz that a low friction lubricant could have a high coefficient of friction. Here is the physics of it: (If yu are not scientifically oriented, think of high COF as resistance to sliding between objects, and friction as an effect of...

*** WARNING: THIS IS AN OIL THREAD *** Those of you who are sick of the topic are fairly warned. Doug from BilletFlow contacted me, and said that they had seen some "glazing" of the synchro rings on some cars with MTL. The "spin" from some of his contacts is that "MTL is too slippery" He...

My dealer said that in addition to having the Service people at your dealership call the Hot Line, they should file an EDSR: Electronic Dealer Service Report. Doing both causes two "ticks" in Ford's system of monitoring field reports of problems. Ford has a threshold, below which it apparently...

anyone know?

Here is one for you memory giants. I hold the PCM in my lap - the wiring connector is facing towards me, the the bar coded sticker is upside down on the connector. The case has a big "X" embossed on the case, the side facing me. My question is: what direction should the access plug...
