    Rear end damage

    Of course, the jury is still out on the "fix", but I am betting that if it is a PCM fix, it'll be something that may not limit hp/torque, as that would just open up another can of worms. If you think of it from a manufacturer's perspective, the best way to handle this midterm would be something...

    FYI: Maximum Speed In Gears ...

    I did a little spreadsheet on rpm drop in gears- shifting at 6000 2nd gear 3815 3rd gear 4302 4th gear 4939 5th gear 5159 6th gear 5030 7th gear 4706 So, one of us is off on our math

    Why we didn't buy an Explorer ST, and other various thoughts

    There are about a dozen different conversations going on in this thread! I'm trying to ascertain whether their are indeed big differences between the 3.0 lincoln and the ST, you are looking at 2.7 vs 3.0, unbroken is fielding questions on both, and the original poster thankfully missing! This...

    Why we didn't buy an Explorer ST, and other various thoughts

    I should have been more specific- the turbos from the 400hp lincoln and st are the same.

    Post your Dragy times.

    I didn't call you either of those things! I just didn't see the point of showing what you did as evidence. So if you were offended, then I apologize. Now on to why the times may not be the same- GPS is only accurate to about 5 meters or worse depending on the signal and many other variables...

    Why we didn't buy an Explorer ST, and other various thoughts

    I was looking at the Lincoln manuals for the 3.0. They may have changed things for the ST. I did a bunch of research on the 2.7 vs 3.0 (Lincoln), before I bought my ST thinking it was the same, so it's more than possible things have changed. Even now, although they use the lincoln prefix, the...

    Why we didn't buy an Explorer ST, and other various thoughts

    It does share part numbers for heads and intake. It's definitely different, but not particularly a "clean sheet" design. I think jury is still out on the CGI vs aluminum block. It does have that block skirting which is aluminum, so I suppose one could try a magnet on the block under the heads...

    ZFG93 baseline

    Yep, here's the truth- you're curious whether an @ZFGracing baseline tune is the same as Joe-Bob's tune which is cheaper $. I can definitely see that if you want to save some money you can buy something else. If you thought for a moment, you'd see it will never be an apples-apples comparison...

    ZFG93 baseline

    And what possible use would this information be?

    ZFG93 baseline

    "i realize this is probably a stupid question, I’m just anxious and want to know what to expect..' I agree, it is a stupid question. That graph is what you can expect.

    ZFG93 baseline

    Here is an example of stock (red) 93 tune (blue) and E50 (green) on AWD dyno. At least in this case about 100hp.

    E-15 Gasoline?

    Not a problem.

    Intercooler Coupling Hose Size?

    Post your Dragy times.

    From post #77 Your timeslip shows 11:17. Draggy shows 11:40. What is it you're trying to prove? If they're off, they're off, but posting up two pieces of evidence that don't even share the same time of day proves nothing.

    aFe Intake -vs- Whipple Intercooler -vs- Downpipe

    Use the word "inexpensive" instead of cheap if you're sensitive. If you just want a bit more, you don't need an exhaust or an intercooler either. Just get a tune with your existing tuner and electronics you've already paid for..

    aFe Intake -vs- Whipple Intercooler -vs- Downpipe

    Know your goals. If you think you want to add more upgrades later, you're way better off with the ZFG tune and the HP Tuners device in the long term. If you want to go cheap, stay with what you've got.

    aFe Intake -vs- Whipple Intercooler -vs- Downpipe

    In terms of bang-for-the-buck, the tune is the best thing you can do. An upgraded intercooler will allow the tune to deliver results more consistently especially during hot weather. I'd do the tune first. Especially since you live in "the cities"!

    Post your Dragy times.

    They weren't the same runs, they have different time of day when recorded. See both.

    Post your Dragy times.

    Timeslip time and draggy time of day (when recorded) are different. So not the same run.
