    Changing the oil

    All of the supercharged modulars have specified the higher viscosity for the high bearing loads on the main bearings. Especially the front bearing driving the SC. The 5W cold viscosity is to prevent over tensioning of the cam drive chains at start up and drive off. This was a real problem for...

    New Supercar is TwinTurbo ecoboost

    The TT cobrajet was not an ecoboost motor. It was a normal SEFI 5.0 with 2 turbos added for forced induction. No direct injection, no exhaust recirc flame front control etc. Similar to the Hellion aftermarket kits. If they are developing and EB 5.0 its been kept under wraps very well. They...

    transmission problem hard shifting when warmed up. Any ideas no problems when cold.

    I suggested clutch flush and bleed as it fixed hard shifts on mine. Although I also had difficulty with first and reverse when sitting still. 3rd and up were no problem. The fluid near the slave cylinder cooks and degrades over time. Its very close to the exhaust. Check the fluid in the...

    transmission problem hard shifting when warmed up. Any ideas no problems when cold.

    You can download them from YouTube as they are still posted. If you cannot do that, just PM me and I can put them on my google drive and send you a link to down load them. I am assuming you are speaking of the introduction videos etc that started this thread.

    Takata airbag recall

    This announcement extended the recall from coastal areas only to nationwide. ALL Ford GTs built during those dates are now included. I just checked the FordOwner web site and my car is now showing the 2 recalls where it did not yesterday.

    Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat: 707hp

    If they do the SC V-10 and a real launch control system it could be a real contender on the streets again. Something to desire again rather than the has-been that its become.

    Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat: 707hp

    I think they are putting the Hellcat supercharger system on the V-10 for the Viper.

    Takata airbag recall

    No, mine is Tim Cantwell's first blue no stripe car. The 2006. I believe he owns a 2005 blue no-stripe now. And as was posted above, mine has vinyl stripes done at Elite.

    F-150 3.5 Ecoboost vs. 5.0 V-8. Want opinions.

    Houston is usually a few cents cheaper than Detroit. Prices been dropping. Predicted to be sub $2 before Christmas. The oil industry is going into shutdown and quit spending capitol mode. Let supplies fall until the prices come back as current investment levels do not make economic sense at...

    F-150 3.5 Ecoboost vs. 5.0 V-8. Want opinions.

    Chevron down the street from my house, Regular gas was $2.29, Diesel is $3.41. 93 Octane is $2.69 ALL Ecoboost engines are rated and run on 87 Octane fuel. They do make more power and can be aftermarket tuned for 91, but as delivered they use 87. This is one of the major differences between...
