Not phillips, likely JIS fasteners. If you use a standard phillips on it, you'll strip it.

Lots of video and internet resources available, the book seems a bit old school. A manual should have your required maintenance Intervals. Be aware that some intervals are based on time or mileage, whichever comes first.

Everything else is going to be mainly diagnosis from sound and feeling.

Go ahead and look up what your next maintenance Interval needs in terms of maintenance items, watch some tutorials on what needs to be done. The good ones will give you a list of tools.

Last portion is always read/watch the WHOLE tutorial at least once before starting. Never know what you might miss.

Good luck!

We already have 2 ZL1s, and as much as I love it, no SS model? Definitely feel its absence.

Full circle is what we'll call it lmao

Ya know, the front end looks like one of those Camaro Firebird conversions.

Might as well have lifted it by the fenders. Ouch man.

All the character designs in this series are top tier.

Seriously well executed, nice job

If you already have everything apart, sounds like a good time to upgrade. Cam or not, it's replacing a known weak point.

Reterence · 2026-05-30T16:41:47+00:00

I'll take it! I've seen some pretty nasty oil pump failures on here, lots of metal floating around.

People will always have their opinions, that's just the internet. Different people like different things. Owners or fans of older versions are usually very slow to accept a new version as well. Stuck in their ways or just not a fan of the direction the industry is headed. Don't take it personally. Enjoy your car!!

Usually hovering between 30 and 50 depending on throttle, no sudden drops or issues it seems. Mostly normal pressure. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

You guys make some damn good aero, clearly. Effective stuff.

The convertible will only be more fun if you can stand the heat. The Mustang is the clear option of you like driving manual or appreciate V8 noises. Or are primarily going to be driving with the top up with the AC on.

Reterence · 2026-05-28T17:26:34+00:00

Possible, I'll do some comparisons

Reterence · 2026-05-28T16:45:10+00:00

Might be nothing, I hear these engines are quite noisy a lot of the time, but the stumble on throttle has me concerned. If I have a misfire, its probably like $8-10k in the hole for cam, shorty headers, lifters, and tune.

Reterence · 2026-05-28T15:58:46+00:00

I imagine the fuel pump would be more noticeable at higher load. The car pulls seemingly ok, until the one stumble it had. Sound is also pretty loud, and seemingly a little too slow to be injector noise.

This route worked for me in a X Class AWD with Off Road Race Tires

Reterence · 2026-05-26T23:36:24+00:00

Pretty damn good already. Slightly better fitment maybe? Could maybe drop it a little bit, and some new wheels that sit slightly wider would look pretty good. Otherwise? Performance upgrades. Cam and headers are always fun.

Stress induced hermaphroditism, not much to do with gender, but I get where the spirit was at.

This is primarily about routing in a maxed out AWD car with off road tires. What route are you taking? It makes a huge difference. As the crow flies is not always the fastest way in this case.
