Who are you thinking that will attend this hack party that isn't already at the DCT party? All the major tuners have tried (and failed) to tune the DCT. All of them. First thing you have to understand is that the first overlapping venn section is that there's a unique/specialization aspect...

Virtually all the movers and shakers in the Mustang aftermarket tuning and racing industry have pursued it. My point is, just because something can be hacked or broken, doesn't mean it will be. Plenty of interested parties on the part of the GT500/DCT. The good news is, I suspect that we'll...

So where are said Russians for the DCT? If it's so easy, why can't anyone with a DCT get rid of the torque protections and nanny features? Just because someone out there that's some sorta hacker genius COULD (in theory) do something, doesn't mean they're going to take time away from whatever...

That just hasn't been the case with the DCT. Everyone and their relatives has wanted to crack the DCT tuning with no success. Like the C8 (which was just recently cracked after 2+ years, so it's as of yet to be confirmation that it's resolved) you can run a stand alone system. However, the...

Few things. 1) Even if aftermarket tuners "crack" it, it might not matter if uploads/downloads to the mother ship aren't as the computer thinks they should be. At a minimum, it will tip off Ford that you haven't updated in awhile (which begs the question why you've refused. Try doing it on...

It's taken the market over 2 years to crack the C8 and it's still unclear of whether that will resolve all concerns. No one has cracked the DCT and that's gotten full effort from everyone for quite sometime. To make matters worse, Ford is partnering with specific aftermarket players (like...

The twin inlet (and throttle body) was a gift from the EPA. They had to include the stupid carbon capture inserts and that was restricting flow to the point that a single intake was going to be impractically large in order to get the flows and power they wanted. So what do you get? An utterly...

#8 gets a few degrees warming because of the cylinder head coolant routing. THe CHT sensor is located at #4, hence the debate about whether the "cooling" mod balancing line between them solves that issue. The newer 5.2 blocks (particularly the predator) are pretty stout and made for boost...

First, no, the rods and pistons are not the weak point, it's the piston rings that are the biggest liability for boosted coyotes on high compression. To get and keep good compression, the ring gapping doesn't play well with significantly more heat, which eventually makes them expand to the...

Here are my thoughts: 1) I don't mind the styling changes (overall). Some of them are okay, a couple I question. The headlights are kinda cool, the tail lights seem like a shape improvement although the overall rear end looks bunched (reference all the memes about clinched asses). Overall, I...

17 posts in and we haven't seen a single shaved ape come in with the "you can't drive" posts when discussing the MT82. The MT is garbage. Ford cleaned up some glaring design deficiencies with the new gen, but the quality control issues are still very much there. The Tremecs are just in a...

First off, the question must be framed around time frame. Vintage cars are "desirable" from a number of standpoints. Nostalgia and status, rarity, etc. People drive classic Bronco's and Porsche Spiders and vintage Ferraris and everything in between because it's cool and unique. People...
