[QUOTE="Tob, post: 10113364, member: 83412"] Well I am curious about a few things... To the best of my knowledge, Roush, Whipple, and FRPP all worked together to bring the kit to fruition. Obviously, the intake manifold is a new and unique piece, as it isn't an OE offering (yet, anyway). I'm wondering if Ford's own foundry cast the manifold, as it looks very similar to the design of the 5.4 manifold (along with having factory style green/yellow paint daubs placed upon it as well). In fact, the rubber o-ring that gets sandwiched between the blower/manifold looks to be from the blown 5.4. Do you know if it is the same o-ring? Is there any talk of how well the narrower blower belt held up in long term durability testing? From a power and efficiency standpoint, I can definitely see the desire to use the narrowest belt possible - until slippage becomes an issue with wrap already at a maximum. I just wonder if packaging prevents a wider belt or if it doesn't if someone will be coming out with a kit to go wider. Fuel lines - I noticed that on the Shelby GT350 prototype a braided line that ran from the front of the rail to the other side. I'm not really a fan of trying to squeeze the line behind the blower (especially on crusher equipped Whipple's on GT500's). But in recent 5.0/Whipple photos, I notice the line is no longer braided nor does it run towards the front. Any insight on this? And Finally, while I know that FRPP worked diligently on the calibration and dyno work once the hardware was manufactured and assembled, I've yet to hear what the rpm/boost threshold was/is with regards to failure. The entire Mustang community has been aware of the Coyote rod 'limitations' since the inception but without regard for specifics. I'm just wondering what you've heard as far as [i]intended[/i] failure, which has to be a parameter that is clearly known in order to determine other design limitations. In other words, at what point did the stock rods [i]finally[/i] fail? Tob [/QUOTE]
