Im impressed! Maybe the vargas w/turbo back exhaust might be my best bet.

You made 340 wheel horse power with vargas on 91 octane?

You will likely flatten out the torque curve for more consistent power delivery as well.

I've noticed a more pull at the top near read line with a CPE intercooler on a FP tune. I heard my tires chirp going into 2nd gear for the first time after I installed it. Now I have Michelin Sport A/S's to make sure every bit is grabbing.

Some spoke high of the Vargas set up. I remember one member running it on 93 octane and the power delivery underneath the curve was reason enough to upgrade. There is a science to matching a turbo to its engine - the aftermarket uses mostly "ballpark" figures.

It would be foolhardy to think a fuel sensor is the end-all solution to "ecoboom". It's just another fad to-do project for your mod car. You're still throwing money and equipment into a car not designed for more boost. Is Cobb 1 safe? It's safer than the stage 2 that is for sure. FP tune is...

The turbo on the mustang matches the engine. Why they call it a matched pair. You increase the turbo size, you will increase the loads in the upper RPM range. So acceleration might take a little dip for higher engine speed (horse power). You want to pick your target for HP - lets say 360 WHP to...

Honestly could not drive the EB without a tune, and if it wasn't for the after market, I would had traded it in by now for a GT. Ford Performance really unlocked its potential in a safe way keeping longevity intact. There are others that could really make this thing go, but I am happy and...

Hopefully a good tune and IC would fix that.

Yeah - camber is off. I know the BWM's have crazy camber angles and the tires need to be changed every 12-16k miles.

I also think the Ford Tune is a little underrated on the numbers. Pack on an intercooler you are likely seeing 30-35 peek and more beef in the upper RPMs. However, in this weather in the mid and north east, It is likely bogging.

Winner responsible for income taxes (approx. 25% of vehicle value), vehicle taxes licensing, insurance, pick-up/delivery from Dearborn, MI and/or shipping of any kind 25%??? That's over 11k.

Power you can't use, tires that are good for the summer and slick under 40 degrees, so-so gas millage in times that gas keeps getting taxed and priced higher, worth nothing in anything more than 2 inches of snow, suspension and seats rigid enough that it make your ass turn blue after 50 miles of...

The wastegate is what controls boost. It's a flapper valve that, when closed, allows for all exhaust gas to go through the turbo to build boost. When fully open, exhaust gasses will bypass the turbine and boost will not be built. The wastegate (the flapper valve) is attached to a rod that...

No Mustang hybrid until 2025?

Nascar would be very boring without combustion engines. They would have to pump the engine sounds over speakers.

This is why I believe the GT is a garage car. It's really not practical as a daily and too expensive to just keep in a driveway. I would need a secondary car for the colder teams come late fall, winter, and spring. I was thinking about trading up, but now I am thinking just sitting on my Eco...

You should not had been running a canned tune with a aftermarket down pipe. You likely killed your turbo from overspool and no back pressure. Maybe you lucked out and it's only a gasket/seal. They say you can run it with a hi-flow cat. But don't forget, they also will be happy to take your...

That's 60 HP at 6500RPM not 60 HP at peak which is usually around 5400RPM. FP's is around 90-100HP at 6500RPM. The peak gains look similar.
