Haven’t seen a stroker ST. But a few mustangs with the setup, mostly NA, and a couple turbo. 100k? My blower went on the truck at 195k, and currently sitting at 220k. A recent compression test showed she’s still very healthy. I do have new rod bearings, HV oil pump, and...

Pull the vacuum line to the heater core control valve and see if it changes. I haven’t had mine hooked up for years. Having stagnate coolant sitting in the core just seems like a bad idea.

If you’re not familiar with ac systems, I highly suggest you take it to someone who is. I’ve seen TOO many ac systems with “repairs” performed by inexperienced owners that end up with more issues. I don’t mean to sound rude… but it’ll honestly save you time and money in the long run. Yes...

If there was sediment in the cooling system, it wouldn’t just be on that side of the head. Radiator would be clogged and the rest of the system would have issues as well(ie overheating). If there is a “only that side” issue, it would be a clogged cat causing excess heat on that side. She...

Yup, the passing tq these things have is pretty impressive for such a small displacement V8. Haven’t towed much over 3k, but it did it without breathing heavy.

I’m not on FB. Thanks though!

Update on the Hyperco front coils. They are night and day difference from the stock coils that come from scale. Soooooooo much better. Can’t compare directly to QA1 front coils, but they ride very similar to the rears, which are QA1’s. Fronts are 575lb and rears are 500lb. I don’t think I...

I haven’t dyno’d it. But the datalogs show 61-62lbs/min. I would like to think it’s somewhere around 500whp on 93. That’s impressive for the little M90! I’m guessing your running 20+ deg of timing on the E? I think we have mine around 17ish. It’s done very well considering it’s non-intercooled...

Needed a stickier tire. The Atturo AZ850’s are worth the hype. 285/45’s hook up decently now. Need to build a set of adjustable upper arms to get rid of a tiny bit of camber. 🫣

Bought these to swap back into the truck, decided against it(after dialing in the coil over setup). These are eBay struts, the same that I ran previously (Unity struts) when I cut 2 coils off. Ride was…. Ok. Not great, but not trash. This time I took off 1.5 coils all the way around. This should...

Finally got off my lazy ass and swapped the front coils. Ride is night and day from the “stock” scale springs. The rears were done awhile back. Those are QA1, the fronts are Hypercoil(I think). Got a good deal on them, and they are roughly the same spring rate as the QA1’s for the front would...

Since we are talking tune up….. I noticed an increase in MPG by switching to the 4L8E-A4A injectors. Granted, mine were probably slightly clogged/worn(had 198k on it at that point-didn’t see much trash in the inlet filters however), so some gains were from a new injectors. But I think these...

Something to think about, if you go with a name brand and have someone do it, it’ll probably cost double what a normal paint job will run, if not more. Most spray in liners are 5-800.

No luck on the adapter, forgot to respond yesterday. But I use a small-long funnel and it works just fine. 👍🏼

Will most likely be pulling the blower setup off the truck in the near future. Figured I’d offer y’all first dibs. No issues with the setup, just at the limits with the rods and I don’t want to pull the engine and build it. It’s a Magnuson kit for a mustang, it’s the 1.9l TVS. The rotor pack...

Welding cast is a VERY hard thing to do properly. Even then, it’s maybe a 50/50 chance. With the Mx, you could look at cat temps. But I think this info is just calculated by the ECU. There are no headers for this truck. Well, not drop in anyways. A certain Mustang shorty header fits, but...

If you’re replacing with aftermarket manifolds, that’s most likely your problem. Even the ford ones aren’t the best. They aren’t very flat after machining(on the exhaust port flange). One option is to buy a set of used manifolds and have a machine shop “deck” them. With the manifolds being used...

Sounds like the load based maps are all screwed up. Not sure why the tuner won’t just return the tcu to stock. Then you can get it tuned by someone that knows what they are doing. It could also be that the ECU tune isn’t ideal, which can cause drivability issues-which in turn can cause the tcu...

Yeah… that’s not normal. Someone screwed the trans tune up :/

The trans is going to shift different than stock, most notably shift firmness. This is due to the increase in line pressure to hold the extra power. There are a BUNCH of tables for trans logic, and it takes a long time to dial them in to resemble the stock shift characteristics. That said, my...
