[QUOTE="CobraRed01, post: 2360557, member: 11346"] I hear you. Of course, no car in stock form is truly setup for the abuse we love to put them through. Modding to improve our rides is really the name of the game anyway. I'm ready to do all the upgrades to make my Cobra handle the way I want, but it seems some engine mods may not be enough for the 4.6 aluminum modular. Despite addressing the poor oiling problem guys are apparently lunching mod motors regardless. This sounds like a fundamental flaw in the motor pointed out by quadcammer which modifications don't seem to fix. Kind of confirms suspicions I started to have when Ford said 4V modular "pinging" and "piston skirt" slap is "normal" in the 01/WAP blocks. What's scary is I keeping hearing about mods spinning bearings during normal street use after about 20K miles. Ouch. Glad I have my extended warranty. Hate to put alot on money to upgrade my New Edger and lunch a motor after only a few OT sessions. Everyone is really happy with the new motor in the GT500 and feels it will be strong enough for some insane HP figures. So Ford does listen (to the drag/street racers, right now) and will get it right eventually. This is a good thing. Maybe a new and better aluminum block N/A will evolve someday. [/QUOTE]
