2026 ST - Mods underway with only 150 on the odometer

[Beerman]

Hi all - new member here from communist occupied Minnesota. I picked up my ST on 4/20 and have been lurking here since mid March, researching all the things I wanted to do. I'm coming out of a daily FBO '18 Trackhawk (105k miles) that ran 10.80's @ 126 - and while I won't get to that level with the ST . . . stock sucks, so I placed an order with ZFG for a host of parts 3 days before I picked the ST up. A special thank you to all the excellent posts and information shared by @UNBROKEN and MANY others, it has been invaluable. The ST is a fine vehicle, definitely disappointed in several things, but nothing to complain about given the price vs other options and what I came out of ($98k in 2018 dollars).

At only 150 miles I started installing most of what I have planned with more on the list:

• ZFG 93 Race Tune
• Colder plugs
• CVF Intercooler and charge pipes
• Thermal 2.5"
• Steeda springs
• Velgen VF5s with 305/35/22 Atturo AZ850's (thanks again @UNBROKEN for compatible combos)
• JXB bushing insert
• Polished and Ceramic coated with Gtechniq (and I mean everything, including doorjambs, I'm a little OCD)
• Color matched Ford badges front and rear
• Front windows tinted 35%
• Hood struts

Other parts that go on as soon as they're delivered:

• CPE diff brace
• FF V2 intake
• FF ST ECU cover
• Zeus hitch cover

Not stopping here, but good enough for the next 5 mins. Adam and Brynn @ZFGracing have been great and the ST is waking up nicely, highly recommend. I'm going to have to work on cleaning up the clutter of this engine bay and probably a P3 gauge given the spartan instrument cluster.

Thank you again to many of you! This community is invaluable for us nut jobs.

At some point I'll take some pics with a real camera, but for now these will have to do.
