    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Tried for an hour with the subframe portion mounted and no go. I removed it and did the diff first and then the subframe bracket.

    Installed the AWR brace that I bought from a member . That 3 o’clock diff bolt is a PIA putting back in with the brace.

    Track night with the ST

    Correct, and I never implied Advance Trac was more beneficial. That said if on TC is off and by chance the cars spins and steps out to one side or another, Advance Trac would kick in thus the reason I have always turned everything completely off. Again, I have done this for a long time and...

    Track night with the ST

    Advance Trac off turns off all the nannies, been doing it forever but yes I get it is more for the vehicle stepping out of its footprint. What you are describing is what I did on Thursday and dropped the 60 a tenth but yes a little more seat time and hopefully get it in the 2.0 range.

    Explorer ST 1/4 Mile Time Slips

    100%. It won't leave any better and not spinning but bogging. I can't hold the brake and WOT without if falling on its face or sluggish out of the hole. Yes, advance trac is off and this is bringing the RPM's to about 2500 part throttle. The timeslip in my previous post was best of three...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Installed the AFE rear sway bar. Lot's of cursing for sure doing it on the ground with a crappy jack that barely lifted the rear but got it done. Went with the recommendation of many here and the stiffest setting. We have multiple round abouts near me so immediately put it to the test...

    So ZFG Racing, what's next for the go fast?

    Shelby Trucks are blown 5.0's not the 3.5. If it was a regular cab , those are 10sec trucks and from the move they are deadly with the 10spd.
