    Safe to run bolt-ons without a tune for a little bit?

    Alright - parts ordered and HSF will be installing everything

    Wipers seem very cheap

    Just checked the sticker, built 6/24/25 and bought early September...so yeah guess it's been rotting in the Houston sun during the heat of summer.

    Wipers seem very cheap

    Good point...I have no idea how long it sat on the lot before I got it in early September. I know it only had 27 miles on the odometer when I snagged it, but that doesn't exactly speak to how long it's been sitting there in the Houston sun.

    Wipers seem very cheap

    Honestly...I didn't even think about that lol - I almost want nothing to do with the dealership past maintenance, but I will definitely reach out to them - this is pretty ridiculous for a $60k vehicle.

    Wipers seem very cheap

    My 25 ST is barely a couple months old at this point and the wipers have skipped horrendously since day 1 regardless of the amount of rain on it. I detail my own car every weekend, so I know it's not a dirty windshield...I've even taken a rayon pad and glass polish along with clay bar to the...

    Safe to run bolt-ons without a tune for a little bit?

    Yeah I was looking at him, just a good drive away from me. Almost 45 minutes down 99 from here, but Fastlane Turbo is right down the street and I called them this morning to see if they work on STs.

    Safe to run bolt-ons without a tune for a little bit?

    Makes sense, I just hate how quiet it is lol...tune will definitely be coming, just need to see how much labor is gonna end up costing me on all these parts. I'm too mechanic-stupid to install much of any of this myself.

    Safe to run bolt-ons without a tune for a little bit?

    Whew lol - I do understand I won't get the full potential of any of it until I tune, but just wanted to be sure it won't hurt anything but the warranty lol

    Safe to run bolt-ons without a tune for a little bit?

    Sorry for the dumb question, new to this platform....coming from a Stinger GT1 and Alfa Romeo Stelvio, both I had piggyback tunes (JB4 on the Stinger and Madness Auto on the Alfa) put on within days of putting on intakes/spark plugs/exhaust. I am planning on putting the following parts on my...

    Ford First Timer...

    Nice, I deployed out with the 52nd Aviation Regiment back in 2008 - was with Task Force ODIN II/III out of COB Speicher. My grandfather was in the Navy, not sure which conflict though...he sadly passed away in the early 90's. Nice to see a fellow Veteran around.

    Ford First Timer...

    I almost got the grey one actually...but the sales guy worked some magic and got me this red one for the same price as the grey one (was about $1200 cheaper). This is the first colored vehicle I've owned since I was 19 lol...everything else has been black, white, or silver. Hopefully I won't...

    Ford First Timer...

    Been a bit of an odd path to get here - from a Stinger GT1 RWD with JB4 and bolt-ons running map 2...to an Alfa Romeo Stelvio Q4 with bolt-ons and a Madness Autoworks tune....to now this bus I have unoriginally named "Big Red" lol. Not gonna lie, I'm impressed with this brick so far....for...
