If there's anyone with a well-setup car, I'd really like to check one out and see what it's like compared to the GT, just because I'm curious.

What do you perceive would constitute a well set up Ecoboost ?

Fair question.

My thoughts would be FMIC upgrade and a tune at the minimum. A big turbo car would be a hoot, I'm sure.

As soon as I get around to stiffening up the IRS some to my liking with a bit of luck along the way ..

When I am able to justify the added expence of an Intercooler and Tune we shall see if I can Impress you a little .

I'm with you there. Cradle lockout kit is the next mod for me. I've test driven several EB PP cars and they were definitely fun, but I've always wanted to see what a tuned one was like since there's been some consensus on the usual first power bolt-ons.

On the other hand maybe we will be able to put to rest these assumtions that the Ecoboost beats up on GT 's .
As far as I am concerned any self respecting GT owner would entice an Ecoboost into the well let us just go out and find out at a track to prove it scenario ..

I have already have been enticed by a few GT's on the street and refuse to bite ..too much top end on the GT to bite , but it was fun thinking this guy is bating me and watch the GT tear ass ..

Lol I'm not looking to race at all, nor beat up on an EB owner. I appreciate and respect the EB and would like to be able to speak knowledgeably about what a tuned EB is like compared to a GT.
