    2006 GT Champ Car Build

    Does anyone have the original style(non-billet) Charge Motion Control Delete Plates from Ford Racing? To eliminate VPI points we can eliminate using the billet versions from Steeda.

    Id say that is significantly nicer looking than this one. If we ever blow up the 4.6 3 valve id love to Coyote swap it.

    My new ST! Oxford White 2015 content

    Track day was ok. Went 1 full 20 minute session without issue. Came back into the pits and pedal got spongy. Went back out in session 2 and found the pedal sinking to the floor. Best guess is the master cylinder is toast. Got some great video and photos of the first session though. Car was a...

    2006 GT Champ Car Build

    Will more than likely be using the caster/camber plates from MM. The other items we will need to see how our VPI stacks up and how many penalty laps we can go down before we are fully out of contention. Going over 1000VPI puts us into EC class(exception class) which cannot compete for any class...

    2006 GT Champ Car Build

    Got the deal of a lifetime on a 2006 Mustang GT in Satin Silver. High mileage on the chassis(170k+)but fresh engine in it. Picking it up tomorrow. Originally a Georgia car so rust should be at an absolute minimum. as some know, I run a team in the Champ Car Endurance Racing Series. We...

    Been a while since i updated this thread. Scheduled for a track day at Summit Point in April. Bled the brake system to ensure no pedal loss this round along with adding dedicated ducting using backing plates at the rotors. Should get plenty of air flow to keep them happy. Hoping for a solid...

    My new 2021 F150 XLT Supercrew

    60k miles. Truck is due for trans flush. Also want to turn off the adaptive learning function. Seems to make everything worse.

    My delivery truck

    Its more like 600lbs or so. 2018 GT listed curb weight is 3705lbs. 2021+ F150 5.0L RCSB 4x4 curb weight in XLT form is 4300lbs per the Ford technical sheets. The aluminum body/bed is a giant weight savings. The Gen 2 Lightnings were 4700+lbs so that gives you a good indication of why the...

    My new 2021 F150 XLT Supercrew

    Borla exhaust is on, Belltech street performance shocks are installed and an alignment performed. Truck feels great. Exhaust is subtle around town and actually quieted the truck back to OE levels on part throttle. Idle is quiet anywhere except next to the tips where you can hear the straight...

    My delivery truck

    Intercooler is in the front bumper. This radiator closure panel w/ the sealing ridges funnels air from the two grille openings in the panel into the intake duct(which is on all engines/trucks). It has no bearing on the intercooler or lack thereof. The OE panel has ridges built in to seal...

    My delivery truck

    Yes, that lip seals with the hood and guides the air into the inlet opening. Id think the Cobb one would allow air to bypass and go right into the engine bay versus being diverted into the inlet opening. Id think you would want that pressure area versus reducing it. Just an FYI, if the truck...

    My delivery truck

    That radiator cover gets rid of the hood seal though. Id want to keep the hood seal so that when air is diverted from the grille opening up into the inlet feed it does not go back under the hood. Unless im missing the seal that Cobb adds to the cover? I can take a picture of mine later and...

    New Rig: 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L

    Ill see if i can find it or if he has the recall notice still. Bunch of bad rod bolts put into production engines. They would stretch and grenade the engine at any time they felt so. So they covered i believe a certain timeframe build 2013 Grand Cherokee trucks with the 3.6 Pentastar for up to...

    New Rig: 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L

    BIL has a 2013 GC w/ the 3.6 Pentastar V6 that has the recall for the rods separating. His has gone 130k miles so far without the V6 exploding so that is a win in his book. He also got lucky with his Fiesta SE and the idiot transmission. Worst truck ive seen though. Recalls for almost every...

    Picked up a Mishimoto intake kit that was on blowout. It was open box from a shipping company that had a return so it was a gamble on my end but it was ridiculously cheap. Opened it up when i received it and found everything present that was on the parts list. Even had the little penguin air...

    2021 Explorer ST - Mom Rocket Version 2.0

    The basic 93 tune is great. Truck is just quite fast at this point except after repeated runs it does feel like heat soak takes over. It will need a larger intercooler to keep it consistent. With some restraint of the foot we have seemed to picked up a little over 2mpg(19.2 to 21.4mpg). Very...
