    COBB Accessport - Goosetuned Tuning thread

    Winfield, Stage 1 91 is essentially NO Intercooler, and Stage 2 91 is for an Intercooler, correct?

    Tune Level

    Like Unbroken said, the best bang-for-your-buck mod will be downpipes. They will actually gain some power. An intercooler will allow you to keep that power for more than one pull. And a tune from ZFG (HPTuner), Goosetuned (Cobb), or TunePlus (Cobb) will get you some great power. CAI...

    Tune Level

    Adam at ZFG did a flow analysis some time ago, and yes the AFE outflows the stock, and the S&B outflows the AFE. However, on a 91 tune you might not be pushing enough boost to make any power difference. I swapped to an AFE because I liked the looks better.

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Looks nice. I was going to do thus, but flipped. Alcantara on the trim and some vinyl on the center piece. Where did you get the Alcantara trim?

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Installed the AFE Cold Side pipe for some underhood bling. Also loaded the Cobb OTS 91 tune. Got both during their March sales. So this is what a decent shifting 10R60 feels like! Not crazy power gains, but noticeable and the OTS is a nice stopgap until I get an intercooler and a custom tune.

    20x9 Wheel/Tire Fitment Question

    No issues here. That's my same fitment you quoted. Go for it. 9" is on the narrower side for a 285 but it will work.

    BWAHAHAHAhahahahahhahaha!

    I lost faith in all the auto magazines a while ago; they all bust their nut over the latest electric lady shaver that will sell well for the first 10 minutes while bankrupting the company. But they fail to mention charging in the cold, grid issues when hot, massive fire risk, environmental...

    AFe vs S&B

    Only visually. You might pick up a few ponies, but peak power will remain the same.

    Air Box Mods?

    People that think open filters sitting on top of this motor are a good idea probably also think there are more than 2 genders.

    Brembo brakes

    How much do you want to spend? A GT350 front upgrade is roughly $1500 all in. I love mine and the car stops NOW, but it is only a front upgrade (at least until Tony figures out the rear setup). Rotora is a known name and make great products, so you have to determine if the addition (both...

    Rusty Half Shafts on 5 Day Old New 2024 ST

    Take that in for service. You're obviously driving a death-trap with driveshafts that are about to disintegrate like Tom Holland after Thanos' snap. For the OP, if you're really concerned and have way too much time to kill, sand them and paint them. If you think surface rust on axles is a...

    Having fun without losing towing capability

    Go with a rear sway bar. Front is a pain to install and doesn't provide much benefit. Also the Steeda Subframe Bushing Inserts are a must-do cheap upgrade. They help with wheelhop if you're tuned, but also just help the rear of the car feel more planted and controlled if you're stock. The...

    2025 Explorer Teaser Ahead of Tomorrow's Reveal

    Technically I can buy a 2022 ECU and tune it that way. Hoping someone cracks the security soon though. We'll see if Ford goes the same route on the 25 Explorers.

    2025 Explorer Teaser Ahead of Tomorrow's Reveal

    Yes, Forscan still works. Need to get it so I can activate my heated steering wheel. Don't want my hands to get cold while I'm using the Raptor to its full abilities in the Starbucks drive thru!

    2025 Explorer Teaser Ahead of Tomorrow's Reveal

    Well my 2023 Raptor is identical to the 2022, not even a refresh like the 25 Explorer, and my ECU is locked and not tuneable while 21-22 are tuneable. I'm sure Ford will do the same to the 25 Explorers.
