Blower cars are very vaccum dependent. A small leak anywhere can cause a headache effecting idle quality, your brakes and over all driveability. The heat and vibration in the engine bay can easily crack/move hoses/lines to create a small headache. Just comes with owning a blower car. I've gotten used to it. My last several cars have all been blower cars, this one will be no different.lol.

It may not have effected your idle quality, but I bet you feel a whole lot better knowing when you hit the brakes they will work! lmao

This is what it's like to put all the time, effort and money into a high power daily driver. I'm sure David can relate to it. lol.

That video is great.

Screw a high horsepower daily, not only do not want to pay for the breakage but the hell with paying for the high octane gas. I will roll around in my truck during the week and cruise the stang on the weekends.

Anyone can buy faster stock cars... so yes.

That's Ford's accomplishment.
