Yawnald’s on point. Direct injection contributes to quicker dilution of the oil via more fuel entering the crank case. Couple that with the long change intervals and you need a lot of oil to mitigate dilution. Even my gen 1 ecoboost 3.5 took nearly 8 quarts.

Holy... you quote my post from 13 years ago almost to the day...LOL

Dude hasn’t responded in months.

I have a 700+ RWHP 2010 with 13k miles on it. I’m asking slightly more then your $33k budget, but if you’re seriously interested we can talk. I sent you a message on FB messenger

I would venture to say that it has to be installed BEFORE the MAF sensor itself. The air that is being rerouted, while not much, would already be accounted for by the ecu if it passes the MAF sensor before being routed into that tube thing. I don’t think it would cause major issues, but it...

Do you happen to have a front sway bar and end links?

You seriously want to spend $145 to make the blower louder inside the car? I guess if that’s your thing, have at it, but I would not recommend drilling anywhere into the PMAS. It’s designed with a bell mouth for a reason and adding any kind of obstruction of velocity disruption would be...

Forscan is not complicated at all, it’s actually quite easy and the software is actually free. The only things you need is an OBD II plug with USB or Bluetooth and a laptop with windows. Other then that, a couple minutes of googling and you’ll find the software as well as a plethora of proven...

Yeah me too. I went from a loaded 13’ FX4 SCREW with an eco boost to an 18’ XLT Sport SE SCREW with a 5.0 and I couldn’t be happier. I enjoy the truck so much I kind of don’t feel like bothering with the Shelby half the time.

That’s what I did, but now my GT500 that I’ve owned for 9 years now only has 13k miles on it... LOL I’m trying to drive the thing more...

I have those springs with D-specs. I think Bilstiens are in my future. I just can’t justify the cost of air ride for a car I drive a dozen times a year.

That’s pretty similar to my old set up other then the BPS elbow which I bought when I bought the blower. Maybe it was just a bad night for boost, that happens. I’d cram some more boost into that thing with a 15% lower and send it. At that compression ratio, it should respond very nicely...

Fair enough, none of my business, I was just saying I know he can be misunderstood some times. Either way, not my fight. My TVS really didn’t have a heat problem before porting and has even less of one now. I’m actually surprised that your having heat soak problems with the speed your...

The larger tank won’t necessarily “lower” your IAT2’s below your current average operating temp, but it will allow you to maintain low temperatures longer. If you think of the coolant / water as basically a heat absorber it may make more sense as to why a larger supply of water would make the...

I think in my experience, a better alternative to the killer chiller would be a bigger coolant tank in the trunk and addition of ice. Even without ice in the tank, the higher volume of the coolant would have a more efficient level of heat absorption and would take far longer to heat soak. That...

I had a similar system as the killer chiller, a prototype developed by True Forged, on my 03’ Cobra which had a Whipple on it. The system worked ok, but it over worked the ac system and caused the interior temps while the ac was on to be impacted quite a bit. The impact to the ac systems...

Oh that makes a little more sense. At that compression ratio, cram more air into it for sure.

While agree with those that say you should already be over 700, I’d suggest sending the blower and lower to 1320 Junkie Performance for porting and reap double rewards. Cooler charge temps and more power with less restriction. I said this before and I’ll say it again, I think your fuel...

I’ve been considering air ride. When I first did the suspension in my car (going on 8 years ago now) I had a very different agenda. Now I want to be able to enjoy driving the car more often, but I also love the stance it has right now. I think the best compromise would be air, but the cost is...

You can use forscan to get low level, non-crossed over signals from the factory (or sync) head unit fairly easily; making a line out converter unnecessary and making your output signals perfect for amplification. That’s what I did in my F150 with Sync 3; it was very easy, provides a clear...

I have Kooks on mine and I love them. They’re kind of cross between long and mid length so if you’re car sits low there is no worry of them scraping or hit anything. The collector it’s up higher in the chassis and the mid pipe connects with ball and socket rather then a collector gasket.

Luckily for us, there haven’t been any major issues with GT500’s that have been inherent through the models or consistent with the drivetrains. That being said, if you’re seriously worried about it and can afford it, take the $2000- $3000 you would spend on the warranty and set it aside, adding...

DUDE! LOL

The factory stripes (at least in 2010) were painted vinyl not died vinyl or manufactured in a specific color. So when you peel the stripe up it’s going to flake the color off and it’s going to make getting the residue off a PIA. That’s probably why they want so much to get them off. Honestly...

And 0% for 72 is pretty dam awesome. Anytime you can get the banks money for free it’s a triple win! If you can swing the payments, don’t put a dime down and let the free money work for you. If you have to put money down, put down the absolute minimum. Keep your money every time you can when...
