It's incorrect that Ford has been using 5W-20 for years.

I've had over 60 cars in my life. The ST is my first Ford. I bought it in Feb of 2020 and haven't had a single problem. I guess I'm lucky. But, most of the things that xsbank complains about are things that are "features" of the car. I've turned off all the nanny stuff and as far as the...

Just to make sure, those latest times only reflect a Whipple intercooler and downpipes? Just for info, were these SPD catted downpipes? I know Lokiwolf is running low 12s completely stock with just a ZFG tune.

I was "tongue in cheek" on my post. Sunoco is a race fuel, not an octane booster, although it could be used as one. In order for any octane booster to achieve those numbers requires a large amount of MMT and/or TEL combined with some sort of solvent, probably Toluene, MTBE, or other methyl or...

The Boostane "shot" shows 96 octane. The Sunoco products are at least 8 points higher. I'll leave it to someone else to do the math- seem pretty self evident to me that Boostane is no where near as cost effective as Sunoco's products. No, I do not work for Sunoco!

In fact, after looking at those prices, I'm thinking of investing in a webpage for Tmactane. Just need a website, some 25 cent Chinese made bottles, a funnel, and someone to ship it. Probably a million dollar business. Anyone wanna invest?

Just for perspective, 5 gallons of Boostane Pro is $399.00! Buying it in the small form factor is even more- $499!!!

I'm lucky enough to have a local Sunoco station that sells their race fuel in 5 gallon cans. You can get 260 GT Plus 104 octane (r+m)/2 or Evo 10 (105 octane). Both are unleaded, main difference is 02 content. Cheaper to buy in 5 gallon quantities than Boostane.

Nice post! To address a couple of your points (1) I have to say though that it depends on where you're coming from. My previous ride was a 2012 Jaguar XF supercharged. The Jaguar system wasn't laggy, it was glacial- as in unusable. The backup camera view normally would appear after I...

The facts are: We now know there's no difference other than the tuning between the 365 hp models and the 400 hp ST. So, Ford has already produced a "tune" for the ST. Also, on other hi-po Fords, they have said a tune was "in the works" and never delivered. Due to the marketing of the ST as...

I've seen posts of about 80 lbs for the stock 21" wheel tire offset. I'm interested in forged wheels, but curious about the weight. Thanks for taking the time.

I might be interested- can you put one of the wheel/tire combo on a scale and tell me the weight? Thanks.

Thanks for sharing that information! That combo is pretty heavy.

I understand you being a bit upset, but once they're mounted, is it really going to matter? I don't crawl under my car to look at my mufflers.

No, no- you've got it all wrong. Put it in Drive, turn off traction control. Drive forward slowly. Slam on brakes. Put in reverse, and back into tree. That should put everything back correctly. :oops:

Thanks for checking into that! We knew the tune was different, I just wondered if there were other changes that might have been introduced because of the upgraded tune- like forged rods or cam profiles. Means that any 3.0 could be tuned to same hp as the ST.

I would have assumed they have control over the converter lockup. If not, that's a valid explanation. Otw, they may not be all that great at dealing with the trans.

It may be a lot to ask, but I've got a question which a lot of people would like to know. Any difference between the 400 hp ST and the 365 hp Explorer engine? Only need to check part numbers on intake/exhaust cam (left or right bank, doesn't matter), Rod, and Piston. It's been suggested there...
