I have one I decided not to use near Seattle.

I’ve got one new in the box I’m not using if you’re in the PNW near Seattle.

Nice. Yeah I figured out 2700-2800 is the sweet spot. I don’t turn off advance trac though.

Shit that’s quick. Even going up a slope. If I decide to do the intercooler I’ll probably move to ZFG. Just wish my nearest e85 station was closer. It’s really 45 mins away. I’ll probably fill a few 5 gallon cans next time I go. What RPM do you launch at I Bleed Ford?

Well got some e85 juice going! Put in 4.5 gallons and filled up the rest of the tank with 92. Ran it with about half a tank left. Pretty happy with the results. I could probably get it a little better with more runs, but hey 4.3 0-60 in an Explorer is pretty sweet!

Yeah this week is going to be a lot cooler, so I’ll make some more runs and see how much better it gets. Then drive the 30 mins to get some e85 and see how fast that gets it

Anybody feel like looking at my dragy result and see if it looks as it should? Just installed my Gearhead AO tune. Best 0-60 stock was 5.35. Still all stock except the tune, best time I got today was 4.58. Launched around 2700 rpm. Minimal spin. Pretty flat road. Is this par for the course for...

True, but I wouldn't feel the need to preach my opinion (you know what opinions are like) on a straight forward technical question. I don't need my morality judged. And let's be real, if Ford couldn't tell the difference a lot of people would do what I was thinking to keep their warranty

Thanks for the answer without the lecture!

Thanks, but I wouldn't feel the least bit of sympathy for Ford if I say blow up my weak ass 1 bolt with a tune because they neglected to put the right parts on. I would gladly put it on them to warranty out. Think I feel bad for Ford lol. Question still stands: Can they tell the difference in...

I have a ASE shop willing to give me a receipt for installing the Ford tune, but I install myself. Got me thinking..can a dealer tell the difference what tune you have? Can I have the shop give me the receipt for installing the Ford tune and I go ahead and throw a ZFG or other tune on it?

Yeah, solid deal. Are you leaving the front struts stock?

Good point. Although I would probably just use the middle setting.

Tried search, didn't come up with much. Would upgrading to PIU rear sway bar be a worthwhile upgrade? It's about half the price of Steeda/AFE. Direct swap with ST hardware? Thanks.

I've been trying to decide between the Setina plate or the factory Interceptor plate.
