    Can anyone tell me what this noise is? Has anyone else with a new ST heard it?

    Cam phasers use oil pressure to advance and retard the camshaft timing.

    UNBROKEN’s Iconic Silver ST build

    I have to say, I'm not one to buy "dress up" parts for my car, but those look fantastic and clean up what I think it the worst part of the door panels. I'm buying a set! Where did you get them?

    Hello from Petoskey

    Welcome to the site from a former Michigan boy. Grandparents had a place in Petoskey, a beautiful place!

    thoughts on potential purchase (or deposit on build)

    I feel your pain! I have bought more than my share of new cars- some nice experiences, some terrible. Worst was looking at a Toyota Supra Turbo back in '93. Brought along my trade-in which they took to put on the rack and inspect. Meanwhile, I sat there while the sales guy talked endlessly...

    More goodies: FenFabrication Cold air intake and IC Piping

    I have followed all the posts on your build with anticipation, but I'm thinking that since these weren't done at the same temps they are likely suspect. I asked quite a few questions about the FenFab setup in the thread because I wondered if the intake had been directed to some alternate source...

    More goodies: FenFabrication Cold air intake and IC Piping

    I thought that maybe it was too far to the left (driver's side) to be near the factory snorkus. Can I assume there is a single conical filter that feeds the fresh air to the inlet of the turbos?. Also, how difficult to take off the air filter? Appreciate the info.

    More goodies: FenFabrication Cold air intake and IC Piping

    Very curious about this. Does this setup utilize the existing "cold air" setup? From what I can see, the filter is at the end of driver's side...is it a conical filter, or two? How easy to change the filter? Where is it drawing cold air from?

    Ford Performance Tune

    I'm with you in wishing that Ford would offer a performance tune, but be sure it wouldn't take advantage of any mods you happened to perform on your vehicle. I'd guesstimate a few hundred $ for maybe 40hp. Hp/Dollar wise, it's not a bad deal, and wouldn't void your warranty. But think about...

    Confused on packages

    I'm just not sure what you're unsure about? If you order the Street Pack you get upgraded brakes from the other models. If you order the Performance Pack you get the Street Pack brakes with upgraded pads. They are notable because they are painted red, and also include the 21" wheel package.

    Pro and Con of a black or white model

    This has been suggested in a few threads over the last year, but I have a '20 white model and haven't noticed any reaction at all. Perhaps in a different state/region?

    Whipple intercooler

    Having spent 10 years in Scottsdale and Tucson, I would also be looking at a bigger intercooler, although a temperature activated intercooler spray bar would also work for a lot less $. Of course, you have to refill the dang thing.

    Can someone help me ballpark estimate hp gain...

    I get that you want to make it faster, I'm just trying to give you bang for the buck info. You can bolt everything on that you want then tune. In fact, there are already those that have exactly the parts you're talking about with a ZFG tune running in the mid to high 11s.

    Can someone help me ballpark estimate hp gain...

    I'm just going to give my opinion here...what is it you want to accomplish? HP figures are nice, but are you looking to run in the 12s, the 11s, the 10s? All of the comments here are valid, and if I were going to pick an exhaust system, I'd probably go for the Thermal, but actually even a dual...

    Anyone familiar with this product?

    You spent a lot of money to prove you were wrong and you can't even give a "my bad"? And then you edit out my the part of my response that was civil? Those who read this thread will make their own judgement.

    Pbd tune

    I've experienced symptoms like this when I didn't release the parking brake before trying to move. It will release automatically, but there is a definite pause. Didn't notice any screen problems, but I wasn't paying attention.

    Anyone familiar with this product?

    Is my ignorance still "palpable"? LOL But, respect for a post that'll save somebody money.
