According to my tire size calculator, the difference in his sizes is 1% circumference. I was thinking before checking that under .5 would be fine and 2% would be no good. Just a guess. Without knowing initial design specs, I would be concerned with a 1% difference on an AWD. I don’t recall the...

Nice lack of heat soak! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I’ve had two cars that came with a staggered setup. My CTSV had big rear tires but was RWD. My wife’s 2025 GLE450 also has bigger fatter rear tires and AWD. Both cars looked really good with the staggered setup. The downside is you get less tire life because you can’t rotate front to back. Since...

Man that’s a brutal bleeding procedure[emoji23]. But you gotta do what you gotta do! In daily driving, I have not found the need to upgrade pads. But if I were planning on tracking I would look for better track pads. I have not changed my pads yet but it sure looked like you could remove them...

You definitely notice the lack of quick heat soak and timing being pulled with a larger inter cooler. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This but questionable if the butt Dyno could tell. Larger volume of space to pressurize before the pressure hits the throttle body. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No doubt! There’s a reason people are swapping in new drivetrains for old muscle cars. My first car was a 68 Mustang with 289. Used to think it was pretty quick, which it was at the time, especially when the oil embargo brought the Mustang II and the Pinto[emoji23]. That engine needed a complete...

Have to agree with that. With all the intercoolers performing basically the same, why not go with one that is known to be an easier install. Unless I’m missing something magical about the Livernois. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hard to avoid fade without a big multi piston caliper and high temp pads. Sure the stock pads fades some but it’s a fantastic combination for daily driving imo. Everything is a compromise with brakes. Best stopping, lowest dusting, quietness, and temp resistance. It’s all a compromise. My...

No worries. I agree with you on the stock street pack brakes. Best stock brakes I’ve had on any vehicle besides my ctsv. I was surprised at your improvement compared to my butt dyno[emoji23]. I can damn near put my forehead into the windshield. Assuming you did a full bleeding of the new brakes...

If no scan tool, disconnect neg battery terminal for a few minutes (10min). Not explorer but both my daughters’ Honda Accords lit up like a Christmas tree after brake jobs. Disconnecting the battery cleared all the lights on those cars. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good luck with the sale! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Love the Superforged. I’m surprised in your 7ft improvement. I would have guessed better than that based on some of my high speed braking runs. I believe the Superforged brake pads are a compromise between performance dusting. I believe they sell an upgraded pad with a higher coefficient of...

Old enough you shouldn’t get off gassing unless they replaced something. If chemical you need to find the source. If it’s organic, I would recommend an ozone generator and run it with the ac on for about an hour with the car closed up. I have had great luck with spilled milk and other goodies my...

Here’s a lousy pic with the Eibachs and 295/49R22’s. Ride around town feels the same as Steedas. No highway driving yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Disappointed to hear that. Not surprised. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Nice. Tire Rack is awesome. Back about 15 years ago I sold them some supper expensive assembly tools so they could assemble multi-piece wheels at their facility. Got invited to a couple test days. I’ve been buying from them for about 20 years. I take their reviews very seriously and have rarely...
