  1. Voodoo mods for reliability (autocross and some track)

    There look to be big rubber grommet / hangers on the cat sections (plus the flex pipes) which probably help them absorb/dampen engine vibrations before they crack welds on the rest of the exhaust.power gains from headers sound marginal anyway, and I dont need the loudest car or any additional...
  2. Voodoo mods for reliability (autocross and some track)

    Well the lower gearing in the Tremec will help there some. I was running the 5.0 GT up to 7500-800 regularly with the tight geared Gen2's MT82 and 3.73s. The Voodoo w/ Tremec will be at a lower RPM for the same ground speed. With the same ~305/30R19 tires, at 65mph the GT would have been at...
  3. Voodoo mods for reliability (autocross and some track)

    Its a 2016 car, so pretty sure its a Gen 1 (we'll check to be sure in case it got replaced under warranty after it shows up). I'm trying to avoid disassembling the engine right now, as its one step past my already slightly overextended budget, even though this might bite me hard if the Voodoo...
  4. Voodoo mods for reliability (autocross and some track)

    Right now I'm excited about the flat-plane crank, albeit not for the right practical racecar reasons. I won't be putting a ton of miles per year on the car (5k at most) and not much track time. If this flat-plane engine shits the bed, I'll be right there with you guys and put in a cross plane...
  5. Voodoo mods for reliability (autocross and some track)

    The R phasers are different? Ok I’ll add that to the list.
  6. Voodoo mods for reliability (autocross and some track)

    Soo, current plan is to swap a GT350 drivetrain and computer into my GT chassis. I've paid for the 350 parts with 35k miles on them, so we're committed. No Centrifugal, going to stay NA for a while.I'm looking at doing a Predator oil pan/pump/gears, but I heard maybe they have issues...
  7. Fuel starvation solutions

    You have a good point there. It was 3/4 of a tank, indicated on the dash, when parked on a very very left leaning grid spot. Maybe it was 1/2 tank in reality on flat ground? .. but yeah, It should still be really hard to slosh the full 1/2 tank of fuel entirely into one side of the tank...
  8. Gen2 - Spun a bearing

    Thanks, yeah I have a start at a similar sheet.I already have some of those parts on my busted Gen2 (cylinder heads, valve cover, ported throttle body), but a few of these were not on my radar.
  9. Fuel starvation solutions

    The high/low voltage from the GT computer wont work with the GT350 but maybe theres a returnless custom option with the 350 tank setup as a base.actually I wasnt clear if the 350 has a proper pickup on each side and is setup to not suck air if one side or the other sloshes out or if its...
  10. Fuel starvation solutions

    If the failure just means back to fuel starving, that's better than some other outcomes.That's interesting that just pumping gas from side to side is working. I'm not sure what that tells me about what the root issue is however. Doesn't the stock tank have a pump from side to side? I...
  11. Gen2 - Spun a bearing

    So, like the 20571? That's recommended over the GT500 pan? https://www.moroso.com/ford-5-0-modular20571/

  14. Fuel starvation solutions

    '16 S550 GTPP, E85 (most of the time). I'm at the point where I'm fuel starving in long left-handers at anything less than 3/4 tank. Its even happening on some concrete autocross courses. I have pretty big aero and sticky tires (315 A052), and it wasn't this bad before the aero. I wondered...
  15. Gen2 - Spun a bearing

    First time poster, long time autocrosser out of Austin TX. I've met a few of you in RL but mostly hang out on that other forum.Yeah so my 97800 mile Gen2 (2016 GT PP1) is dead. We'll open it up in a few weeks and see exactly what happened, but right now the theory is the rod knock we heard...
