How does the car detect the octane rating or if it's on e85? My son is looking at doing an e85 tune on an EvoX and said it would take a flex fuel sensor, and I've not heard that mentioned here; illuminate this old man, lol.

No problem, just a gentle nudge back to the topic :D

I know I'm getting old, but what does any of this have to do with the opening date for the order bank for the 2017 GT 350?

Same here

If you know anyone in the foundry business most of us have Brinnell and Rockwell hardness testers as well as OES (optical emission spectrometers) for checking the alloy chemistry, unfortunately I'm in Oklahoma, too far from you to be of help.

I've had an order in since early February for a '16 Tech Pack at MSRP and had a DORA from Ford. My dealer called me today and said that the zone rep called him last night and told him that the order has been cancelled and the dealer offered me his '17 allocation for the same offer, MSRP. I told...

It's got the R spoiler and red stitching, but I didn't run the VIN.

Might want to think about that, back when Oklahoma had vehicle inspection headers were an illegal exhaust modification and would not pass inspection.

Have you given any thought to paint rather than vinyl? I did this on an older Mustang and it turned out very good.

If I understand them correctly the E85 tunes I'm familiar with are flex tunes that will allow 93 or E85 fuels. In my area E85 is easier to find than 93, best we have is 91.

What's the procedure for checking the tranny fluid level? In the old days you would add fluid until fluid reached the bottom of the fill hole. How would you do this with a cooler installed?

I live near Ponca City and have the same deal with same dealer on a tech pack in orange, waiting on delivery, they've been great to work with. Enjoy your GT!

I ordered a tech package on 2/15 and according to FP I'm still "unscheduled material hold".

Agreed. I ran NHRA for several years and had contact with a few engine shops, mainly one who did Comp Eliminator and Pro Stock as well as one who did Top Alcohol. The base numbers give you "some idea" of the power the engine makes, but the true value is in knowing the effect of any tuning...

(Nip steps up on soapbox) Now, I know I'm a dumb Okie, but gee, I thought this was fairly clear: " for about $500 we could make our own cooler setup" Hey, this guy was really helpful and great to work with, I took his remark as a somewhat joking comment. As mama would say, "don't get your...

I talked to FP today and was told that there was no hold on making tech cars vs. track cars. He also said that Ford was working on the cooler issue. He made the comment that for about $500 we could make our own cooler setup, lol. Really nice guy, thought the cooler upgrade would not be a freebie...

Way back in the '70s we put a 429 in an F350 for a trailer pulling rig. The engine was originally built for a stationary industrial application where it ran at a constant rpm. We had a severe detonation problem and finally cured it by adding a water injection system. I'm not saying it raised the...

But only for 15-20 minutes :lol:

Like I told all my kids, the throttle pedal is NOT an on\off switch ... now if I could just get that through my thick head, lol. Do as I say, not as I do ;)

Kudos to you guys, there are many of us watching with great interest. This should be a very marketable product!
