A couple of times now the computer has put it in the "limp home" mode.
I think it is because of the mounting position of the oil cooler. It is mounted agains the drivers side wheel liner. Air can't get to it or flow thru it. Once this problem is sorted the next step for this car will be an exhaust system upgrade.

I have only put about 1100 miles on it but they really have been hard since this is not my DD,plus it has 60 dyno pulls on it,not at one time but still 60.

I have 8000 miles of boosted goodness on my 09. Installed the GTM stage I at 12k miles. Stock internals and stock clutch. It's not my daily driver and I am not easy on it when I do drive it. So far so good.

So far it's been ok. It is most definitely at its limit. I don't dare turn the boost up because I know it won't hold.

I went to the drag strip a few weeks ago and that's where I really noticed its limitations. The first couple of runs I wasn't trying to launch hard. Then I decided to give it one good launch. Not a good idea. LOL.

I will be upgrading it over the winter. I was going to do it this year but I spent my mod budget on the exhaust.

yea or you could be like me i drive my car like grandma and still ended up needing an engine rebuild when i was having the car dynoed for water-meth trying to be even safer.
maybe the car came from the factory with slight piston ring defects or maybe the owner before me was driving the car hard i dont know but this was my dd now i drive a crown vic while me car sits in the shop

only good thing and i mean the only good thing is when i am behind people in the crown vic they move over because they think i am the cops lol
