    Explain WHY it loses those 10hp... Ford outsourced the original design and can no longer produce it. Dorman was paid by Ford to rework their design. Especially what we're getting is a Dorman+. Your best bet is still the junkyard.

The rear plug also has issues blowing out, due to weak/insufficient threads holding them in. Shops specialized in drilling and tapping those things to install a new plug. Def do not over torque when installing the plugs.

    Will it allow me to hit rev limiter in 1st and 2nd or 3rd? Ive got a dual caliper 2008 MGM drift build and just ordered a canshift in hopes it would make drifting a tab bit easier. Auto sucks because sometimes I want to be able to stay in 1st or 2nd with the rpms high but it upshifts and bogs down when I dont want it to.

    • @wadethetrucker
      @wadethetrucker 2 месяца назад

      Do you have a Marty tune? If you have a Marty tune, you effectively won’t have a rev limiter while using the canshift, I’ve done 7k RPM in 1st gear lol. I’ve never gotten to use the canshift system in a non Marty tune car, although I have a set for project Oreo that I’ll be putting on soon.

    hell yeah, came from instagram. marty tune is a little out of my budget for now but i rather do "bolt on" mods before the tune so marty could make it more efficient. im thinking that was your issue tho, the tune wasnt optimized for the modifications u did, u got the base tune and then added mods after. rear cat delete most likely contributed to most of it tho, as the stock exhaust really has no restriction for the power ur making. u really dont have to do any exhaust work until 350-400hp

      Bad spark plug, bad ignition coil, clogged/bad injector, or bad electric connection to any of the aforementioned parts. Easy first thing to do would be to run a high concentration of fuel system cleaner in your gas tank to help open up a clogged injector if you have one. It’s the easiest thing to do that doesn’t involve taking anything apart.
