    Chrome tips no more .............

    Looks better, especially on black. What are the tips coated with? High temp paint? Some sort of powder coating? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    BOV or VTA mod?

    Looked like the MAF in my Mustang, but I’ll concede I haven’t had it apart and it may very well have a MAS. Just a word of caution to make sure it is properly engineered to maintain accurate AF ratio readings. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    BOV or VTA mod?

    Most of the walnut blasting jobs we did were for VTA on factory MAF or DIY cone filters that changed the MAF readings. Usually manifests as hesitation or timing loss at WOT. YMMV Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    BOV or VTA mod?

    Maybe try an open cone filter (no air box)? That gives the compressor whistle in the pickups. I wouldn’t do a VTA with MAF (vs MAS) since it will run rich (adding fuel where it thinks there is air) and soot will build-up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Average MPG

    My wife is at 21MPG (I know, right!) and I drop the average 1 point every time a run an errand in it. LOL. She apparently only goes WOT at an on-ramp. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Buying the ST. Is it worth it right now?

    If you can wait, you’ll likely get one cheaper and with less chance of issues. That said, my wife and I liked it so much on a test drive, we threw good sense out of mind and have had a couple thousand issue free miles of smiles. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Something missing

    Does it strike anyone else that this forum is missing common sub-forums, like performance modifications, maintenance & DIY, general discussion. I love that it is ST specific, but there’s more than just order tracking, introductions and photos. :) It might stir some more conversation and posts...
