Joe - I'm glad you got everything resolved! The recommendations/advice you're getting from Sahlman should have a weight factor of 100 attached to it. He lives and breaths this stuff... and is a very recognized expert in suspension design.

In pics it seems like the lock nuts for the adjustable control arms are all loose. While there's no danger of these actually changing length, the lock nuts are there to make each arm a solid piece. More importantly, if these are loose, what else is loose? Finally, I don't think this would be...

Maybe you are confusing emissions with CAFE (corporate avg fuel economy) - but EACH vehicle much meet emissions standards. That said, making at 800HP NA engine that is also emissions compliant is a very tall order. Hence the use of forced induction. Likely many decisions in the back room...

Randy - your pics are the best! Kudos to Ford for having the balls to do this kind of program. It's one thing to build a race car and quite another to build a street-legal race car! All the safety requirements - door beams, bumper beams, airbags, etc add weight.... as does AC. Let's hope...

Even with your Motec, your car after a brief warm-up mode should enter into closed-loop mode. In closed-loop mode the car will pulse the fuel injectors and immediately get feedback from the O2 sensor that A/F's are right at 14.7:1. If A/F's are rich, it will shorten the pulse and if they are...

Where/when did #12 sell?

I think you are right....

I'm pretty sure that none of the bolts were torqued to 295 lb-ft. as that would far exceed their capacity. If memory serves, they are M10 bolts - so no way for them to take that much torque without breaking. And, yes, the calculated TTY for these fasteners is the prescribed 21 lb-ft + 90...

Yes, Jammer, you are correct. TSB 06-23-8 describes the correct process for installing the six outer bolts for the transaxle flange. Both the 2005 and 2006 shop manual are INCORRECT. We just repaired a GT where these 6 outer bolts "failed" on the driver's side halfshaft at about 40MPH. There...

Yeah, I would go to the referee with the Whipple tune... and have a printout of that EO number I gave you. The exhaust shouldn't be an issue as it is clearly AFTER the cats. (What you do with the "clean" emissions post-cats is your business.) I think the biggest challenge is the poor wording...

Pursuing another PCM will cost you time and $.... and has a very, very small possibility of resolving the problem. As I am thinking about the problem.... are your sure your car hasn't been flagged??? Maybe you ARE getting a good (OEM) tune file into the PCM but each time you go to the smog...

Ugh... enough to sour anyone on the pulley tune set-up. Not sure if there were growing pains or what with the tuner but I'd say we installed 50-100 "pulley/tune" kits (for cars being exported to Mexico, of course) and NONE were this complicated. Even a tuned car will spend 90% or more of its...

Not sure why you had trouble but we have done this a dozen or more times. MAF sensor isn't changed with the Whipple (not sure why yours was?) and the car doesn't know a whipple is sitting on it instead of the OEM SC. Of course, one should never venture into boost with this arrangement but the...

Kevin, as I have said before, I don't think that the PCM swap is the right solution and is just going to add more stress to this saga. Despite what you read or perhaps hear from the seller of the PCM, I do not believe a tune file will be in the PCM... and even if something's there it is NOT...

Smaller businesses like us use a shipping service to generate shipping labels, etc. For us, we use ShipRush. When we print a shipping label, the ShipRush server automatically sends an email to the buyer with the shipping notification and tracking number. Not some of the time, but ALL of the...

MANY, MANY kudos to Dave and Dan for taking this on. It is DEFINITELY not easy and the risk/rewards ratio is sketch - especially after all of the personal time that it takes to initiate these discussions, manage the relationship, quality, timeline, etc. You guys are the BEST and the GT...

For anyone local in the SoCal area, I have a full set of Bridgestones that have been sitting here for a few months. Please PM me if interested. Thanks!

I replied to your emails. Going to spam? We will send the return shipping label with the replacement parts.... hopefully within the next couple of days.

uhhhh.... nevermind
