Maybe they changed something between 2011 and 2014. In my car, the extra airflow increased the fake engine sounds coming from the sound chamber under the dash. It was annoying to me, so I removed the sound tube, plugged the firewall and capped the fitting on the CAI. You still hear the additional airflow from outside the cabin, just not the fake tinny sound from under the dash. The rubber seal from inside a master cylinder cap fits the hole in the firewall perfectly and it was like $4. I don't remember the exact part number. I would disconnect the sound tube and cap the nipple on the CAI and take it for a drive to see if there is a noticeable difference. Then you can decide if you want to leave it on or not.

 

Why the frowny face? The 302s grills look good. I am considering one just for the looks, since at this point I don't have an overheating problem.

 

Because I just bought the roush

 

Installed my Steeda intake last night! Just have to load up the tune now...

Also took the car out yesterday on the suspension. It's firm but but as harsh as I expected. Can't wait to dial it in!

 

Thanks, for the feedback!

I am not experiencing the same thing with the sound tube in place. In the cabin with the windows closed I can't her the intake. Only with the windows down

How do you like the intake tune??

Also I still can't believe how crazy stiff your springs are. My car doesn't roll either. But that is because the steeda sway bar

But I get it ... different use case.

 

I guess I would frown too if I just bought something and found out I may need something different.

 

I haven't driven it yet with the intake and tune, loaded the tuning last night. I have a little more work to do on the rear wing before the car goes out again. Feeling like I have a lot to do still before 4/24 track outing... but it should be a fun season!

 

Finally figured out my oil leak, it was from the hoses going into the AN fittings for both hoses. I watched YT and recut the hose/AN connection (tape/cut/rethead/connect). I also installed new SVT fan and the biggest happy news is the fan TURNED ON! :-) before that I got to drain the radiator fluid and used 2 water setters and all DI water. When the car was warm I went for a quick test drive and no issues.

 

hey SGWick, glad you found the issues! Is this at the connection to the oil cooler?

 

yes, going into oil cooler not oil filter side

 

Bought an accusump last night. Hopefully the install isn't too bad. It'll offer some peace of mind going forward!

 

Do they sell a kit to hook up an accu sump to these cars, or are you having to put it together yourself?
Great products I ran one in my last off-road race truck.
I had it mounted next to me in the cab and would control it with the manual lever.

 

Not a specific kit for the Mustang. They sell the accusump kits, but it's all generic installation. I've mapped out my planned installation, so it should be pretty clean and simple. I'm using the pressure sensor control unit so it automatically discharges when oil pressure drops below ~30psi, and it refills quickly as well to support road racing. I'll post up pictures of the installed product and the installation procedure if I actually remember do capture photos along the way for once...

 

Signed up for LRP on 29 June :-)

 

Nice!!! Which club?

 

SCDA (Sports Car Driving Association)

 

I should have known you have run with them already lol. I've been watching your YT vids at LRP...so fast. A few questions, the uphill, are you waiting to power throttle till after the front compresses on the other side? and additional question but for last right corner (waiting for compression before adding throttle)?

 

I noticed from your vids from LRP you're using 4th and 5th gear only. Do you use 3:73 gearing?

 

Yes I'm 3.73's. not obvious in the video, but I run 4th to redline on no name straight and just ride the rev limiter for a good 500'. I'm very excited to rev to 7200 or so now, it should make a big difference

Also, I started grabbing 3rd before the left handed. That helps a lot I found. Just started doing it. Gonna play around on Monday, I might not be able to grab 3rd with the aero, wider tires, and new suspension. It should carry more speed everywhere as long as the driver has the *****!

 

Thx! I really want to break into 0.59's this season. Might have to buy R7's later this summer if I can't get there in the contis

Yes I hold on applying full throttle until after the car settles over the uphill. It's slower but it's safer. I may have had a minor incident there once

Yes, downhill is no brake, quick snap in at compression then power power power. Enormous grip there
