It took a while, but I finally got a photo to share.

Have you found this to still be the case even with our "upgraded" factory radiators?

Sorry, I meant that I noticed the Engine temps rising. I assumed that it was associated with the underpowered intercooler among other things.

I recently just switched my trans fluid to BG Synchro II and swapped the shifter bracket+bushing with the Steeda one that was mentioned. I still have the stock shifter. I can saw that the combination of those (2) things have dramatically improved the shifting. No more cold temp clunkiness and I...

Copy that. I'm definitely going to hit the books (Youtube) before attempting this. Thanks for the tips!

Thanks for the info on the pipes/IC. That all adds up to me. And yeah, my canyon runs definitely vary. I like to stay in high 2nd gear and shift to 3rd for the straight. Braking into the corner and downshifting back to 2nd. I know I could stay in 3rd for most of it, but habits are hard to break...

*Update* Tell me if you've heard this one before. I replaced the trans fluid with BG Synchro and it made a world of difference. Well, it did. 85% of my issues are gone just from that. I also installed the Steeda shifter bushing+bracket. That firmed up the shifter a little bit and made the 3rd...

That's really good to hear. Also, what you're saying about the race IC makes a lot of sense. It never really added up in my head to get an IC capable of 600+hp for a 50+/- gain in HP. I'll get the street and save a couple bucks. So you bought the charge pipes as well then? Are the stock pipes...

I'm not planning on racing but I do drive canyons though. This pretty much keeps the engine in boost for 30 min straight. I've already noticed the temps rising on the stock IC.

Hello, I'm local to LA. Would you be open to exchanging in person?

Copy that. That's well within the the limit of what I'm looking for. As long as I can smooth the throttle and prevent any overheating issues, I don't really care about power. I'm really going for refinement.

Thanks for the contact! I'll reach out when I get a budget ready.

I haven't swapped the IC/Pipes out yet. I'm planning to in the coming months though. How do you mean it woke it up? It smoothed the throttle out? Did you go with the race or street intercooler?

Thanks for that! That's what I was hoping to hear. I'll post pics after my next wash! I'm just waiting out the rain.

I was hoping that was the case. I really just want to optimize what the car came with. I'm mostly satisfied with it.

The fueling can be addressed in a pro tune right? As for the power, IDK. 350 wheel seems pretty solid to me. I figure stock, I'm making around 270ish whp. An 80whp bump would definitely be noticeable for me. I also really want the throttle to be improved. Stock is dead in the regular drive mode...

Hello all, I got a 22' HPP + HP not too long ago just went through this entire thread. A lot of super useful information on here. Thanks for that! I saw that the max HP for the stock block is 400 (which I've read in a bunch of different threads). Is that 400 crank or whp? My goal is to get 350...

I agree. Once I hit 3rd gear, I don't shift until almost redline. I feel the power right up until 5k rpm. Pretty solid feeling engine.

I actually reached out to Barton about a shifter unit for the Ecoboost models and they said that they do actually make one. I've quoted them below. "Hi Gabriel,For some reason it's not on the website but we do sale PN: 2015BM1EB-25 which is for the ecoboost. It looks like the Hybrid 3 except it...

Swap out the clutch line? This is the first I've heard of that. What differences did you notice?
