Between Elkins and Parsons. Yes a Raptor could do them, actually 2 were on the rally earlier this year. The first spot in the video I believe they scraped a little bit and that’s probably the worst spot from a wheelbase clearance issue. A set of RPG collars and 37/38’s would be a good mod to ensure you’ll clear everything well.
runnning an oil catch creates backpressure in the crackcase, wich in return will prematurely wear out many components inside the engine, seen many gaskets blown out way before their time is up because of the oil catch can. If you are planning to keep your vehicle for long, you are better off blasting the intake valves every 100k in an ecoboost engine.
This is incorrect. A setup that would create this condition (pressure) would be installed incorrectly, failed product , or become clogged somehow. Coming from 20+ years of running catch cans or vented valve covers. 230k 5.0 and 100k 3.5 with the exact same setup as this one. What you may be seeing is a failed PCV valve on a boosted vehicle causing the crankcase to become pressurized.
What is your opinion on the hard top and the way the delay on the glass sliding down when you open the door? Does it feel like either will have issues?
I don’t have any concern. Mustangs have been like that since S197 and a lot of BMW’s are as well. Never had an issue with any of those. The only time you would need to be mindful is if the window is covered in ice preventing it from going down in the winter months. I personally never had that be a problem.
There's no such thing as Stage 4 for our Gen 4 SHOs from Livernois, so is it 93 Octane tune and V10 version or which tune? Very nice run and sounds good, exhaust is my next mod.
The SHO is a sports tourer. Its comfortable on long drives and is a sports car wearing house shoes.. u dont know how awesome it is until u hit the gas. I love my 2011 SHO.
The capabilities of the SHO are amazing considering their weight and the power plant being a twin turbo V6. I just bought a 2014 SHO and am looking forward to seeing what it can do with a few mods. Nice driving!
They are very hefty cars that are amazingly capable. I love my 12 sho, its deceptively quick and amazingly comfortable for the long road trips with the active contour seats. I made the mistake of getting a genesis 5.0 V8 sedan first because of the price difference between the sho and the gennie but in the end i wound up with a sho anyway.
I have to disagree with HaB22. A stock 4gen SHO will walk a stock C5 & older Vette in the 1/4 and past that (with the 130mph speed limiter turned off in the SHO) A C5 Vette will slowly catch up until them both top out at around 160mph. I'm not nocking Corvettes, I've owed a Vette, Camaro, Eclipse GSX, Prelude, 95 SHO etc.. all good cars. But the sheer comfort, amenities, and tire shredding power and ease of more power with the 4gen SHO. You can pickup 75hp with just a tune. Livernois motorsport has put a 13 SHO into the 11s without weight reduction.
Not that I'm saying a SHO is superior, I've owned many other fast cars, but you should educate yourself on your car. Mine with just the few mods has ran a best of 12.8@110. On a cool day with another tenth off my 60' it should run a 12.6. With downpipes another 2013 is running a 12.2@115. So far the fastest ecoboost SHO I know of runs a 12.0@117. Just the addition of H&R springs has made the car handle very well. It will definitely surprise a few on a road course and drag strip.
@Rapinator126 Yea thats definitely a Mustang Dyno. It made good power with that tune and you could see the extra power right at peak but it was slightly lean at that point. It was also lacking low end tq. I put it on the same dyno last month with a slightly richer AED tune and made 391/391 with gains of 30 lb tq down low over the Lund tune.
AAAAH I KNOW. OMG im not saying ford is bs. Just saying ford used that number to make it seem like the car is more powerful. they all do it so you always got to think about that. But yes you are right by that description. U misunderstood my intention/I didnt word it right haha.
The factory states 412hp because that is what the engine makes. Nobody is lying here.. you still dont understand this do you? rear wheel horsepower is what the tires put down AFTER THE 15% LOSS FOR DRIVETRAIN AND ACCESSORIES... they are usually around 360 WHEEL HORSEPOWER
i see. ok so you are simply misunderstood. 412hp is what they is at the flywheel(before going through the accessories and drivetrain). but if a car puts down 401 rwhp, that means AFTER going through the accesories and drivetrain(aka wheel horsepower). SO roughly 440-450 advertised (flywheel) horsepower equals 401hp to the wheels (whp). get me?
@Black11GT so your car makes 401rwhp yet the factory states it to be 412 and somehow the factory is understating its power band? its actually the opposite What im trying to get across is many people think they are getting 412 hp when in reality they are not. This mustang got 406 rwhp with 93 octane and the factory says at 93 octane the car made 412. (and this mustang has been modified.)
You make no sense. I dont need to look anything up... i OWN one. with a roush axleback and a tune i put down 401rwhp.. the car obviously started with more than 412hp and the crank.. Basically crank hp for the new 5.0 IS PROBBALY CLOSER TO 430. WHAT PART OF THIS DONT YOU UNDERSTAND? calculate 430hp(at the motor) and take out 15% drivetrain and accessory loss..what does that equal? Thank you
@Black11GT you an idiot look up the manufactures numbers. from factory specs the 2011 was supposed to make 412HP and 390 LB-FT. This modified mustang made 406 rwph. Thus the factory spec is tweaked. Many cases they use hp at the crank or possibly without all accessories engaged or connected.
@alldayandnight09 wrong. stock dyno numbers come in usualy 360-380whp which means ford UNDERRATED the advertised horsepower. The new 5.0 has roughly 430hp
@bballplaya123678 stock from what i have seen these mustangs run 390HP with about 370lb feet. numbers are always a little tweaked from the dealer to look better.
