This is mostly a GT site but there is still good info in the 2.3 sub forum. There are other message boards for strictly Ecoboost talk. This is my daily and I enjoy the nice combination smiles and practicality. No, this engine doesn't have the rawness and sheer power of the 455 I had in my 74...
I'm a large guy so I like the interior just fine. I think the 6th gen Camaro would provide the more cocoon like environment for the sophisticated skinny jeans wearer.
I've had the dealer put Pennzoil Ultra Platinum in my 15 the last couple of times and I haven't really noticed much difference. I wanted to go with a full synthetic since the engine is tuned, for peace of mind at least. I also went with NGK 6510 plugs since I'm tuned but I'd probably stay with...
If your knife isn't KaBar or M9 then it isn't a "real" fighting knife and then you obviously don't care about performance and don't know what makes the grass grow. :sunglasses:
I really like my 15 Ecoboost, especially after getting tuned. There's a lot to like about them but they will never sound like a V8 and if the sound and feel of V8 is an important part of the experience and the fun, then you won't be entirely happy with it. There is way more tuning choices for...
I'm 48. I had a couple of Firebird Formula's in my younger days, a 74 and then a 98. I had a series of more practical cars and trucks after that and just decided I wanted something fun again as a daily. I've never really considered a Mustang a midlife car because of the wide range of ages that...
I would say it would depend on what you value. If you want straight line speed and endless modding options available to the GT, while still being a pretty solid handler, then that would be my choice. If you want more of pure sports car feel, then it's clearly the 350. If I got to listen to that...
No way I would want to go back to the stock tune. I haven't seen any drivability issues. It can be a bit touchy and surge a bit in 1st with the transmission in Sport mode but in Drive, it's smooth. I think the tune does wonders for the transmission and there is way more power above 5000 rpm. I...
I was back and forth on the Garrett and the cp-e. The fact that Garrett makes the turbo and it was a newer product had me leaning that way. I found one at a great price on Amazon and pulled the trigger. It worked great in the summer heat. This car is much different with the tune and IC.
I had mine put in along with the FP tune and a Garrett IC. The shop checked them. If you are going to put them in yourself, I would get a gap gauge. They're fairly cheap.
I'm liking this so far. The transmission is so much smoother, especially Sport mode. No more sluggishness over 5000 rpm, it just keeps pulling. This is how it should of been stock.
I picked my car up today from Next Level Performance Solutions but haven't had a chance to get many pulls in. My initial impressions are that I can really hear the turbo and blowoff now and the transmission has a much more immediate feel. I'm hoping to get a better feel for what this tune and...
Today, I dropped my Ecoboost off at Next Level Performance Solutions to finally get the Ford ProCal tune and CAI, Garrett intercooler and NGK sparkplugs that I had bought a few weeks ago, installed. It will be ready to go tomorrow. I'm interested to see how much difference it makes.
