  1. Chattering Wipers

    My wipers chatter when there is just a small amount of water on the windshield. If it's dry they don't chatter and they don't do it in heavy rain... just when the glass is "samp" or just has a few droplets. This persisted after changing them, so it's not just a bad set of refills. Has anyone...

  3. Real world upgrades - Best kits/tunes for low to mid power

    The tune/CAI did exactly what I wanted. It made the car significantly more responsive in daily driving. This car felt like a bit of a downgrade, performance wise, from my Infinity, but with this mod, she's a much friskier pony. I'll do the intercooler upgrade next... when I can negotiate for...
  4. Ecoboost

    I was using your number. I don't know what milage GTs get. At 20 mpg it's a wash economically (not counting purchase price of the car)
  5. Ecoboost

    It's not clear to me what the argument is. I do know that with a ProCal tune and 93 gas I'm averaging 24.3 in combined city/hwy driving. It will hang with a GT now stop light to stop light, though I have no doubt it would get swallowed at the upper end. $2.84 x 18 = $51.12 $3.44 x 18 = $61.92...
  6. Ford Racing ProCal Tune

    The logic of your first statement seems sound, but my own recent experience argues against it. I already described my initial results the day I flashed the car. Yesterday was a commute day for me (I drive to my office twice a week and telework the rest.) My office is 63 miles away in Tyson's...
  7. Ford Racing ProCal Tune

    BTW: is there a market for the spare parts? ... I have a perfectly good stock air box and the inlet tube for a GT-350 taking up space in my shop now. lol
  8. Ford Racing ProCal Tune

    A new IC is on the list for next time. (We have to negotiate these things with the wife... lol) along with a down pipe and springs. Not sure if I want to buy a cat back system or not. If there is no significant power gain then I'm happy with it being quiet... I don't need it to sound like one...
  9. Ford Racing ProCal Tune

    I installed mine today. I've taken it out twice. The first time was with the missus to go to the gym, so nothing learned there. The second time I took her on a 12 mile country drive. Near the end it was definitely feeling stronger, but I can't swear that was more than me learning where the...
  10. Real world upgrades - Best kits/tunes for low to mid power

    Gave the deflector a test run this morning. It's a spectacular change. There was less buffeting in the car at 80 mph than I would expect from a hardtop with the windows down. The ProCal tune/CAI is supposed to be delivered today.
  11. Ecoboost

    The only time I get over 30 is on my commute. It's 63 miles (each way) twice a week. Part of it is limited access road (like a freeway, but nothing to do with the interstates) and part of it a 2 lane. There are only about 12 lights along the way and most times traffic is heavy, but not backed...
  12. Real world upgrades - Best kits/tunes for low to mid power

    From the silly argument earlier in the thread .... I have been watching my inlet temperature. Running at ~ 60 mph in normal driving it's about 10 to 15 degrees over ambient. In heavy stop and go traffic it's about 25 to 30 over ambient. I have not watched it under heavy boost yet. I've already...
  13. Real world upgrades - Best kits/tunes for low to mid power

    Yes, as a matter of fact! I want my "Amazon" "delivered before you ordered it" service!
  14. Ecoboost

    Mine is stock (I have some stereo upgrades) ... lol I Have a FP Procal on order. It did seem like a small step back from my G37, but the comfort, style and drop top were worth it. Installing the ProCal should make it a touch faster than my G37 was. I don't know how you can get 44+ mpg unless...
  15. Ecobeasts that have NOT Boomed!

    I have 40k on mine. It runs great. No performance mods yet.... there is an FP CAI/ProCal on order, but it hasn't arrived yet.
  16. Real world upgrades - Best kits/tunes for low to mid power

    Rats... Levitown is backordered. SHould ship at the end of the week. Was kind of looking forward to this weekend. :(
  17. Real world upgrades - Best kits/tunes for low to mid power

    I ordered the FP Procal with the GT-350 airbox. I would hope Ford would handle that. lol
  18. Real world upgrades - Best kits/tunes for low to mid power

    So... the only parameter that might be shared is the throttle response. Does switching to Sport+ still increase this when you have a tune?
  19. Sound without anc

    I used Forscan to turn it off because I tapped the rear channel to feed my subwoofer. That made some impressively annoying sounds with a 10" subwoofer. The only difference I noticed was not having the subwoofer make weird noises any more. there may well have been other differences, but I...
