Actually, yes, a 130 mph trap speed IS considerably safer. Here's why: It's not just the extra 30 mph that's at play here, it takes a TREMENDOUS amount more power to the ground to run 160 vs 130. Things happen SO much faster on a pass resulting in 160 mph speeds than they do on a 130 mph...

Yeah, I can imagine. My ecoboost made it almost 800 miles before getting tuned. Thanks for the insight. Though I don't have the car anymore, I like learning stuff like this.

Torrie tunes gt's? I honestly didn't know that!

Awesome gain, should be felt everywhere in the rpm range.

I personally found no detectable difference in mileage between 87 and 93 octane when I had my '16 ecoboost. This was when the car was stone stock. I settled on 93 octane anyway because of the performance advantage, but it seemed to not contribute to better mileage at all. Why is it that 87...

What size turbo or blower? What (if any) intercooler? What intake manifold? What cams? Running meth injection? What ambient temp? What afr? You get the point, no one can answer that question very accurately without a WHOLE lot more information.

Hmmm...

In all seriousness though, those snake cameras are a really good thing to have around, and not just for car stuff. Like a temperature gun, I find myself thinking of ways to use it and save time/effort.

Good point.

Not in a malicious sense, more in a lighthearted sense.

Sure you do. Google something along the lines of "cell phone snake camera" and choose one of the 63 billion or so results you'll get. Order one, and make it one of the longer ones you'll find so you can for sure reach down to the top of the converter material. Wait a week or so for it to...

I would KILL to have a flow testing machine like the one in that video! I hope the test is truly unbiased, i.e. the folks doing the test aren't linked to Jones. I wonder if those mufflers would support 400 hp each without too much back pressure? I have a project I need a pair of mufflers for...

It is what it is, frame it as you wish.

I don't know for sure, but I think you will not have to retune.

thank you, I will try that.

No, you're actually being an asshole. You blatantly tell other people they shouldn't post stuff like you own the place. You don't. Acting as if you do won't change that, it will only expose you as being an asshole. Funnier still is that you then compound the error by insisting that everyone...

It ain't the first time he's started that shit and I'm sure it won't be the last. Just sit back and watch the show.

Yep, I can imagine they'll run you backwards through a corn field with no lube on that trade. I recently traded a '16 ecoboost auto base car for a '16 gt auto premium. I feel like Koons did me pretty well, though I still took it in the can on the payment because I was trading up so far, and I...

It seems to happen only when playing music, it will just freeze. The music stops playing and the system won't respond to any controls. After anywhere from 2 to about 10 seconds, it'll pick right back up like nothing happened. Anyone else have this problem?

Stick a snake camera down your headers and have a look at the converters.
