I don't blame you for wanting or maybe thinking about getting rid of the dark horse. It blows they still cannot be tuned because it in my opinion takes away from the owner experience. Not everybody just wants to throw boost on a car at first. If I had to choose to drive one I definitely drive the gt500 although I love Apollo because I basically am building the same car as Apollo only I have cams. A GT 500 is my dream Mustang though.

[@ItalianStallion410]

Yeah for some reason I just love building cheaper mustangs and making them monsters

[@414Chevy]

My N/A 2021 Mach 1 10R80 trans temp is cold initially but, gets hotter as you stop and go. In 80-90* temps, it will get to 200* and drop down to about 190*. I drilled both my fake fog light covers, and both covers in front of oil and trans coolers. It seems to help temps not get so hot so quickly, and runs a few * cooler. They sell a trans thermostat eliminator valve, but that thing will drop your trans temp by an EASY 90*!!!!! You have to drop the valve body, but it is a pretty easy looking install. The 10R80 in the Mustangs don't have check balls or paper gaskets between the valve body and the trans. Pretty easy as far as VB removal. I don't know how that would affect trans operation in 70 and under outside temps. Tru Cool makes a model # 47391 trans cooler that you could plumb into the stock trans cooler circuit that would probably work really good for a mostly street driven car. I have that in all the cars I own except the Mach. gonna wait til I do an ESS and decide if I need it or not. I have a 00" Camaro SS, with a built 4L80E and a Yank SS 4000 converter. My trans runs between 100-135* in 90-100* outside temps. If you get a Tru Cool, make sure you get it from the company or a Trans shop like Oregon Perf. The Ebay and Amazon ones are Chinese knock offs.

[@ItalianStallion410]

I’ll check them out thanks for that info I never heard of them before for the trans cooler

[@ItalianStallion410]

Thanks a ton! We will keep it going

[@marcasswellbmd6922]

I'll see a max of 220 on very hot summer days at a Red light but that is rare usually I don't see more than 215 cylinder Head temps and when cruising it hangs at around 199 to 204 usually.. In the colder months I don't even worry about it at all.. But I am going to get that 170 thermostat put in, and do the Oil pump gears, crank sprocket, Clutch, and then a blower eventually..

[@tikbalangmedia]

In regards to the last question, imho it's Apollo (biased emotional decision not based on any fact). Now in the conundrum of what car next after the GT500 & Dark Horse. I feel like if you are staying in Mustang Territory you have 3 good options (but I'm also going to inject my own biases because its the type of content I watch outside of you and Derek ;D ). Route 1: A ultimate Road Course/Street Race Car build of an S550 (a base model or premium). There is still a lot of untapped potential doing content on S550's and I think you could milk an audience or draw in an audience that might not have considered you before going this route. Route 2: Same as above but with the S650 (again base or Premium but not a Dark Horse). This one gets interesting as there are two new body kits that are in the works according to the forums so you could literally make a Mustang GTD Lite (using the body kit coming from 777 Performance). Or you could go more street focused and pickup the body kit from Street Hunters which is in the works. Both Route 1 & 2 assume you'd be getting a non mag ride car in order to allow you to go either coilover route, or go fully custom suspension route to build street-able road course race car. Route 3: Scout out something from the S197 era and go that route. We all saw your reaction to the GT500 from Derek's channel. And unlike Route 2, both Route 1 & 3 would allow for aftermarket tuning of some type after you finish messing with suspension. But the end result is a fully custom car vs stock power unit in the S650. I understand the pain of not having a nearby/close by road course but you could always substitute that with autocross as well, which uses a similar skill set (again I'm not really seeing big name KZbinr's outside of Chris formerly at Steeda doing AX with mustangs). Trying to keep this short but hopefully this gives you some additional confusion on what to do moving forward ✧ദ്ദി( ˶^ᗜ^˶ )

[@vishiouz5075]

Love the vids man keep it up!!🔥 Only thing is I personally don’t think it’ll be a good idea to get another Mustang 10 speed because you already have one. There’s no point in getting a s650 10 speed and do a full N/A build then boost it eventually cause you already did that with Apollo so it’s basically repeated content if that makes sense. I would love another build on the channel but maybe a different car like a Camaro or a c6 or something different than the coyote just to have different content and experiences. Dont get me a wrong I’m a ford person, I have a s550 10 speed myself and they put in work😂 but a different build for content would be cool

You have the cross hanging... good man! Cylinder head temp makes total sense... it is delayed. Al these heat sinks cant be instantaneous!!.. Thermodynamics bud. I am an engineer... you are fine with the delay. No worries. As for selling the GT500, I totally understand. Awesomely engineered car, but not 100% ideal for the drags. If drags is what you are doing, sell it. I get it if you need $ now. Otherwise, IMHO, if Mustang prices keep increasing, the GT500 is going to look like a bargain in a few years. U do U.

[@Michael-CS]

I have a vested interest in the DH as you know however my vote is this. Any S650 you buy right now your "build" options are going to be limited to Whipple or Roush with their tunes. Sure you could add headers, an h-pipe or some exhaust options but your boy Derek is doing exactly that so your content isn't collaborative but competitive. Now, building out your Dark Horse that would be something that would be something Derek isn't doing as he seems to have hit the saturation point with adding that vette and having to sell the Mach 1.

[@ItalianStallion410]

I kinda like the Roush I wish I could get one of those in white I love how they look
