    Yep, 21s and big red brake calipers, you are set with the good brakes.

    Whipple intercooler

    Well, that video is entertaining; like most of the mighty mods videos, but as far as it being an answer...it is NOT. 99% of the cooling of the intercooler is done by the fins between the compressed air channels, and the effectiveness of the intercooler is all about the surface area of those...

    Great to be here

    I'm completely in agreement with @GearHead_1. Obviously you have had a major problem, but your ignorance (don't take that wrong) of the terminology doesn't give any of us who could advise you any sense of what went wrong. Like others on the forum, I'm left to try and guess what the problem...

    New ST, brake pedal noise?

    That's a very interesting observation about the vehicle perhaps you are right. However, I did try this and it didn't have any effect. I still have no 'click' when I use the brakes.

    New ST, brake pedal noise?

    I don't have this problem with my 2020, but I also have disabled reverse brake assist. If you disable it, does it still make the 'click' noise?

    Cold Start Lifters very loud due lack of oil

    The 3.0 engine doesn't have "lifters" per se. It does have a hydraulic lash adjusting mechanism. I am betting that you have a cam-phaser issue which is known issue on these and the 3.5 ecoboost engines.

    Factory Speakers Ω

    Check audio upgrade thread from @UNBROKEN . Also, the user @My ST is Better! also seems to have done a lot of audio upgrades.

    High knock reading on take off

    After sitting at a stoplight (I think that's what you were trying to say), your underhood temps are going to rise dramatically. That is a fact. Then you accelerate and given your current air filter setup, it's a good first bet that is the culprit. Now, it "could" be something else, but why are...

    Eco vs Normal in city driving

    It would all depend on the efficiency maps, gearing, etc. Comparing some BMW engine is not evidence. Even your quoted BMW story (for a particular model I'm sure) keeps the rpm below 2400. So your argument is that Ford's ECO mode is suboptimal because .... why? Once again, it would all pertain...

    Air Box Mods?

    We can easily just do a bit of math. Let's assume the Whipple is 80% efficient (I don't know actual numbers). So just for grins, (and to make the math a bit easier), let's assume 100 degrees ambient. Since PV=nRT, and we'll also assume an 80% efficient compressor (it isn't), if we double the...

    Eco vs Normal in city driving

    The different drive modes affect throttle response, shift strategy, torque converter lockup, and AWD engagement. All of those affect gas mileage. In the final analysis though, gas mileage is purely a function of brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC). That number varies based on load, rpm, and...

    General Battery/Outlet Question

    You need to find out the number of watts that the appliance uses. Then you can take the amp hours of the battery * .5 (don't want to use of all of the battery). Let's say 1000 watts for the crockpot and 200 amp hours of battery (This is just for example). 12 volts of battery * 200 = 2400...

    Smoking on startup after sitting

    IIRC, the OP wrote in another thread that it was a turbo seal.

    Is the name "Storm Trooper"? (y)

    Racechip GTS

    The first thing is the drivel about 20%+ extra fuel mileage. That's a dead giveaway of crap. The car will use close loop fueling based on the 02 sensor which wouldn't be affected by this device. The racechip is a piggy-back system and works by tricking the ecu sensors into increasing boost and...

    Ford Performance ST Experience Ashville May 19th and 20th, 2021

    At the Biltmore, spring for the "Architect's tour". You'll get to see rooms no one else sees, and also see construction details in the roofs. Not to mention up close convos with the gargoyles! Treetops park is also a neat place if you like ziplines, etc. And of course, there are several...
