You don't have to tell everybody sizes or ratios just how many things did you have to do?
What I've done to the car is my business. All I'm going to say is that everything surrounding the engine, including some parts of, are not just Ford.
Draw your own conclustions from that......and I know most of you will.

yea, ford may have had an outside supplier or two. I'm sure it has an ATI balancer, maybe a different pulley, some caster/camber plates, springs, shocks,etc that aren't "ford". the question really is, what have you changed since you received the car from ford?

Still, as I understand, they needed some tweaks after delivery.
You are right, I was thinking more of the DPs, those fit classes where I run.

Better mousetrap......kinda like a two barrel!
Real Stocker Racers - they are racers who know how to flog a car, they know how to fill out a tech card, they know how to perform a burn out, they know how to stage a race car and they know how to get the car down the track in good order. Unlike some of the new car drivers/owners.

Ok, I thought that maybe your statement was a loaded one. Miscommunication, or inablility to read between the lines. Sorry.

Sean, no need to be a douche. I didn't ask for specifics, I'm just curious what parts aren't up to par from ford. It was my understanding that aside from trans and a few suspension pieces they were ready to run.

Now I'm a douche because you can't read? Why don't you take the wealth of knowledge that you profess to have, apply it, and get that car of yours to fall out of that tree it seems to be stuck in.
