    New Ford Performance 5.0L/5.2L GT500 Aluminum Oil Pan and Pump Kit

    No it doesn't, mine hasn't been connected in 3 years. It does nothing. No lights, no DTC, nothing.

    New Ford Performance 5.0L/5.2L GT500 Aluminum Oil Pan and Pump Kit

    No but the oil level sender which is absolutely useless could be swapped for a gauge sender adapter. I don't know the thread size off hand but I think its M16 thread.

    21 Car camshaft upgrade and dyno results

    Well as many of you know I had a timing chain failure which was sad as the engine ran like a beast with the new cams. Going to a new longblock (again) but staying with factory cams. Just waiting on delivery today of the new GT500 oil pan and pump. Cammer engine will be repaired and put back in...

    Thinking of getting back in to W2W racing, Spec Mustang class…

    You can always build for NASA ST2 or 3 depending on power levels and weight. There are usually many different makes in each and it is a lot of fun. A Spec Iron Mustang will class in ST3 with better tires than the Toyos. We have a huge Spec Iron field up here in NASA Great Lakes.

    I want to get started in Time Trials in my GT350. Thoughts on my particular setup and SCCA vs NASA?

    I will say this, Hoosier R7s are a whole lot different now than even 4 years ago. A set of Hoo Hoos will last 25 heat cycles (If rotated and have proper -3.0+ camber up front) and hold lap time. This is 15 cycles better than the old compound. They can be had in 315/30-18, 315/30-19 or 295/30-19...

    I want to get started in Time Trials in my GT350. Thoughts on my particular setup and SCCA vs NASA?

    Class in wherever the car fits and run either or both, they are both good organizations. One thing I will caution about TT, don't expect it to be like a regular track day. Sessions are short, most competitors do an out lap, to warm tires and breaks, one or maybe two hot laps and then an in lap...

    MCA - please get your HPDE act together - the story of my first and last MCA event

    I think I posted earlier in the event thread that these are "Events" not track days. This one was a little less organized than the other 4 MCA events I have done but not more than expected. Losing track time there should be no excuse for, driver wrist bands should have been issued with the event...

    2024+ Mustang Brake Pads Available NOW

    Let's talk about OP Mustang and what kind of people Tim and Kelly are. As many of you know from Facebook posts, I suffered another engine failure due to a secondary cam timing chain failure on the right bank of my engine. This caused piston to valve contact on the intake side and broke 5 rocker...
