Some people put on too much oil on the K & N and then ruin their Mass Airflow Sensor.
to prevent that this protocol should be used
thanks for that heads up
ISO 4406 (International Standards Organization) code is a standard that is recognized in the industry. Certain recommended fluid cleanliness quantities are necessary to realize the best performance and cost saving operation of your hydraulic system. The ISO 4406 cleanliness level standard is used to reference the number of particles greater than 5 and greater than 15 microns in a known volume. For our usage, this volume will be 1 ml. The number of 5+ micron particles is used as a reference point for "silt" particles. The 15+ size range indicates the quantity of larger particles present, which contribute greatly to potential catastrophic component failure. Now, the way the ISO chart lists the "ISO Code" is with a two number system. For example, the approximate rating of new oil off the store shelf would be rated at 20/17. In this two number system, the first number indicates the number of particles that are greater than 5 micron in size. The second set of numbers after the / indicates the number of particles that are greater than 15 micron in size. Ideally, the lower you can get the two numbers in the ISO chart, the less will be the internal damage inside your engine or hydraulic system. To ensure that you achieve the most efficient and relative results, it is important to establish and maintain an oil analysis program.
Well I was referring to adding something like 100 horsepower to it as I stated above, which would require engine work not just air flow upgrades....
Air intake bolt ons are nothing like cams and gears and so on....
I dont consider k&n, mass air, and headers on a fox to be "heavily modded as they add almost no horsepower with everything else stock...

Vehicles with Shelbys name on it should do ok in value, that 60 Grand Caddy might drop like a stone in value!
I agree with you on that. Just look at the used car price of the last CTS-V made. One thing though the shelby will cost alot more than the CAD to buy and it will be more difficult to get a Shelby and get one that is not unreasonably priced.
The sticker on the GT-500 KR is $80,000 then the dealer will mark it up from that. That's alot of $$$ for a car especially a Mustang.
Also I think the CAD will attract less attention than the GT-500 KR.

i ask because you seem to know......
I was saying that just adding horsepower to a car without making a system that will work together will cause reliability problems....

I thought the Sticker for the KR is in the mid 50s, being that they are only producing like 1000 of them makes it very limited and I would expect it to have some Dealer markup, it would be alot for a Mustang but will hold or increase in value.

msrp IS $80,000
rEMEMBER SOME OF THESE MUSTANGS WERE SUPPOSE TO BE $40,000 mUSTANGSTHEY GOT MARKED UP WAY UP.
They do this on performance rear wheel drive cars so they can gain a little more traction
You can rotate the wheels side to side lol...
The tires on these cars are not supposed to be rotated they have a directional arrow for rotation, and they do allow wider in rear for better traction. Why they dont allow for the bigger tires in the front I dont know.
Also, the holding value on these cars is worse than the stock ones. Always has been. A friend of mine bought an 02 Saleen 500rwhp Sportster w/ under 40,000 miles and only paid $28,000 for a car they only made like 25 of. It cost $70,000 new! These cars are a waist of money! Look cool YES! But never come w/ good enough upgrades and you can never get what you have in them back out. I can sell a regular 5.0 or earlier mustang usually for 1/2 or more of its price, New. Havent seen that happen since!

Get a 63-63 Corvette Stingray and it will retain value and appreciate.

what has this got to do with anything....
but maybe this will fall into play......
Fissile isotopes are isotopes of an element that can be split through fission. Only certain isotopes of certain elements are fissile. For example, one isotope of uranium, 235U, is fissile, while another isotope, 238U, is not. Other examples of fissile elements are 239Pu and 232Th. An important factor affecting whether or not an atom will fission is the speed at which the bombarding neutron is moving. If the neutron is highly energetic (and thus moving very quickly), it can cause fission in some elements that a slower neutron would not. For example, thorium 232 requires a very fast neutron to induce fission. However, uranium 235 needs slower neutrons. If a neutron is too fast, it will pass right through a 235U atom without affecting it at all.
Im pretty sure the msrp for the $80,000 is the Super Snake with 720 horsepower? http://www.themustangnews.com/carnew...607-500ssn.htm
IN that case, That car wins hands down.... everything on it is performance from suspension to brakes. That is the KING.

What about the Callaway C16 Speedster with 700 hp and a 210 mph top speed, a Callaway/Eibach suspension that boasts 10 driver controlled settings, and three hidden cameras that take the place of rear view mirrors?
