Bingo, that makes sense. Detroit Locker and support for the carrier bearings should be bullet proof for an 8.8 with up to 450-500 hp. Your clutch is going long before that rear end.Mike
So, we're supposed to buy these M-5300-T's when Ford won't put the spring rates on their spec sheets for these, on web site or in the catalog. All we're buying is "harsher ride" and a lower car? I can get that by cutting off 1/4 of a coil.Anybody got the specs on the rates? Eibach provides...
I like the idea of the bolts as they are easier to return to original, easier to install and cheaper. I don't need much additional camber.Where did you guys get them?Mike

Got to check mine, hadn't noticed anything prior.If Ford has a systemic leak of corrosive fluid like this, they are subject to getting a recall directive courtesy of the EPA. Very interested in the dealer response.Mike
I'd say that your motor is healthy based on those values. My '69 Boss with 10.5:1, stock cam and about 25,000 miles on the motor gets 170-175. That is above the theoretical value and it leaks down in the 10% range so there is some blow by (mostly rings). Apparently, even at cranking speed, it...
Good info on the compression testing on these motors. I guess I need to start looking for a new set up.I don't think it is intended that the formula is used to calculate the expected psi from a compression test knowing the nominal compression ratio (mechanical compression, calculated by...
Welcome aboard.Agree about the balance of handling, braking and power. I have a friend with a '13 and a Shelby GT500. He said if he had to choose (and he doesn't), he'd keep the Boss over the Shelby. That is pretty high praise, I'd say.Do a track day to really find out how balanced and...
