99.99999% sure it was not engine oil. It only looked like oil when it was hot, looked more like a solid(custard like) when it cooled. I don't like that Ford **** yellow crap. I'm dumping mine next year for some good old prestone.

I've used prestone gold in every vehicle I've owned with redline water wetter as well. I've had coolant go over 100K miles and still look like it was just put in. I think your prestone idea is a good one.

Have you guys heard anything about a new intake for whipples?

I noticed info on the 2010 GT500 says its supercharger has some kind of intake resonator to reduce whine. If I could get that in a whipple kit for our cars, that would interest the hell out of me. My decision on which SC to buy would be complete.

when you are inside the car going WOT, you
are not overwhelmed by whine. in fact,
you have to listen very carefully to even hear
it. at least that is my experience with it.

the Rock Steady Crew is an old school breakdancing group from New York, nothing to do w/ mustangs or cars. but since i used to breakdance back in the day, way way back in the day, i'm more of an honorary member. i think all that head spinning back then is why i have neck pain now. lol.

but back to mustang stuff. i will be in a car show this weekend. its an all ford show. i placed 1st last year in the DD class and got best modified DD. this year i'll be in the modified class. nothing to stress over, should be fun. a bunch of us from my mustang club will be there too. will have an exhaust competition for best sounding exhaust and thats the prize i want. i'll post up some video next week of how it went. so until then i'll be shining up the GT and representing the Whipple Crew!!!
