Here's an actual dyno of a ZFG tuned vehicle (LokiWolf) completely stock other than the tune. This is a great comparison since it was done on the same dyno, on the same day with Stock tune, 93 tune, and E50 tune. These are all WHP numbers of course. Assuming stock was 400 crankshaft HP, you...

Your very best "bang for the buck" is a tune. Most would recommend ZFG (zfgracing.com). There are numerous dyno results on this forum where he has achieved approx 100 HP over stock with a custom 93 octane tune. For about $1k, there is nothing else that compares to dollar/HP ($10/HP) If you...

Yes, you wouldn't want it to sound like this: https://www.explorerst.org/threads/explorer-st-exhaust-comparison.1612/post-19586

Bummer. You have the number for @ZFGracing tho, right?

To provoke some convo, and for the "conspiracy" theorists out there. After examining the service manual, I can't find anything related to a TCM torque control strategy that would cause an ECU fault mode (reduce torque). However, the TCM can adjust the slippage in the torque converter and...

And not to pile on, but having read through the relevant sections of the manual, if I'm right on the clutch slippage, repeating this is NOT going to be a good thing for the trans. (See post #16). Slipping clutches will end up burning lining material which will end up in the trans fluid. That...

I will put my money on some sort of trans slippage. To try to help, I looked at the service manual. It lists either the TCC (torque converter clutch) or the : Low One-Way Clutch Assembly as possible problems. Here is the link...

Have you read the entire thread? What do you think anyone on this forum can tell you that they haven't already? Outside of @DetroitST looks like only Livernois tunes are having this problem. @21booSTedExplorer has a '21 so that wouldn't suggest only your '22s are suspect. You'll need to get...

Some slight water damage....;)

Anyone have any info on the capabilities of the ProCal 4? Is it a repackaged SCT or other device. Can it be used for monitoring or just to deliver the tune?

@UNBROKEN also fabricated an exhaust. You can easily search and find his experience or he'll chime in. Same with the others.

Here is info on the Ford anti-lag system: https://www.explorerst.org/threads/2021-st-bov.2576/post-41797 It looks like an upgraded version was introduced with the '21s with the loss of the BOV.

The "drone" sound is entirely based on the acoustics of the exhaust- which if you're not an expert- you don't know anything about. No single muffler or cross pipe is the problem. It's the volume and length of the exhaust and the pulses per time (frequency), which produce the sound. Trying to...

Since the 365 hp engine is exactly the same except for tuning, I would expect you'd see the exact same results as an ST with that tune. So it's probably a better bang for the buck for your vehicle.

Now train him to fetch a better brand of beer!

^^^ All of the various tables are contributors to the end result. Might as well also ask if they changed the wastegate PID algorithm parameters. You can certainly see in the ZFG dyno that he has done a lot of work in that area to achieve what he has in the dynos I've seen. I wouldn't expect a...

"This is how our tunes work, when people come to me and ask for a custom dyno tune I tell them there isn't really anything to be had over Adapt-X. There's more money to be made in a "custom dyno tune" so it's counter productive to offer a flash and go and then never collect again if we were...

"One of the largest benefits of Adapt-X is that you can continue to modify your vehicle with out changes to your calibration. Adapt-X will support most bolt on modifications and when a part is changed you can re-flash the calibration or perform a KAM reset using the SCT BDX tuner so that the...

Fair enough. It's not personal, I don't know you and I appreciate you didn't take it that way. Still interested in the paddle shifter technique tho. ;)

Just to respond to your comments: I don't think "everybody is familiar with" the SCT/BDX device. I certainly am not. But perhaps SOME people are. "The tune will adapt to new "add-ons..." And since Moster Tune didn't post this, perhaps you could answer how they do this? Are you suggesting...
