As someone who has the details on warranty information, the cyclone and coyote have basically the same reliability. Very few issues on both of them. I would lean towards the GT because the V6 is being discontinued, it's aftermarket potential is less, and the fuel economy difference is not that...
I have less than 1000 miles on my car. I have all the mods below already installed and been driving for 500 miles. Suspension (springs/shocks/struts/sway bar/links), cat back exhaust, tune, intake. all done.
Couple of things to compare with the E90 (i had a 335i, my sister still has a 328i):
- the E90 is far more nimble. I find this to be a much bigger car in terms of feel. It handles well for its size, but the E90 is a small nimble car. This feels like a GT car in comparison
- the E90 fells...
I come from the world of BMWs. The GT was a great enough car to have me get rid of my BMW and stick with this.
The ecoboost is a good engine, but nothing beats the coyote. The N54 on my 335I was close in terms of power and performance, but the reliability was terrible.
I highly recommend you...
Thanks guys.
I assume I need an SCT X4 to get the tune from Lund for this?
For now, I want to run stock intake manifold/headers. Only change I am considering is the injectors.
So I've been slowly modifying the new vehicle, right now I'm running a Ford Performance tune. The idea of running an E85 flex fuel setup is interesting to me. E85 is pretty easily available in MI here. I do go to NJ/PA a lot too, where E85 is not available as much.
What do I need to run flex...
Update: FRPP 1 successfully installed. Put about 100 miles on the car at least. Car feels noticeably improved over stock, quicker throttle response, transmission shifts quicker, and can feel a torque bump. Car will easily screech tires at 40 MPH.
what a funny thread. If you want to be financially smart, forget the ecoboost, forget the V8, get a 5k honda civic plain and simple and nothing else. If you're going to spend money, spend it and do it right. Don't half ass a purchase and live with regrets. The mustang deserves a V8.
If you are...
I did exactly this. i went on April 25th, the dealer offered me above good value, and above pay-off for my beat up EB, and got me into a 17 GT premium with a couple of essential options for ford A-plan pricing. The deal was so good I couldn't pass up (and the 5.0 definitely helped).
I had no...
What kind of splitters are you guys running?
I just recently bought an Oxford white with black accent package. Looking to convert it into a boss 302 look alike.
Bought wheel spacers and FR Power Pack Stage 1. Drove it 75 miles round trip to work today.
Also set up an appointment for Xpel clear bra on most of the front (not full coverage). I want to prevent as many rock chips as possible during the summer cause I will be doing a good amount of highway...
Yes in the future I just want to swap the GT 350 intake and an adapter.
Everything I've read so far suggests the GT350 TB is causing the issues. I am not going for crazy HP numbers, just a mild increase over stock.
Anyone know if I want to upgrade to a GT350 Intake manifold, would I have to buy FRPP 3, or can I just take my FRPP 1 and add the intake manifold to it down the line?
