  1. Horsepower Issue

    E85 is available. Race Trac has some E85 stations, at least I have one in Orlando. Looks like you've got some stations in Ft. Meyers. Just google it. But you'll need a pro-tune to run it. 1st priority: get an intercooler. Adding power without one is a colossal mistake especially in Florida...
  2. Florida MMR Intake, Catch Can, Mirror Overlays

    The MMR intake is the 3" big boy. I have a couple of different silicone couplers for it (one for the standard installation, and another with a quick disconnect nipple so those with a Dual Valve catch can can hook up) that come with it. The intake looks very cool under the hood. With no other...
  3. How long should I let my car warm up before driving?

    The only important thing you need to mind is the oil temperature. When you first start the car, you can start driving right away if you want. I like to sit for a minute or two, but thats personal. It does not matter. What matters is oil temperature. Don't boost the motor until the oil is...
  4. Is it ok to tune a new ecoboost?

    A pro-tune does not technically void your warranty. What is does do is increase the chances that the dealership will deny warranty work because of it. You DO, in fact, have some legal protection against warranty denial due to aftermarket parts (Magnussen Moss Warranty Act) but you have to be...
  5. Wastegate/heat shield

    Do you have a picture of it installed? I'm interested in getting this if its fitted for our turbo
  6. Dealer Cant figure out codes....

    Easiest thing to do first is just perform a KAM reset. Pretty easy to do, search for it. What's the condition of your battery? Is it original? If not, when was it replaced? Low voltage can cause the s550 mustangs to do many, many weird things. And these cars chew through batteries like nothing...
  7. Wastegate/heat shield

    I've swapped my wastegate several times and each time is a pain in the ass to get that heat shield in and out. But the turbo is a huge source of heat. I would do your best to try and keep it. Chances are you won't need to do it again. Turbo blankets on these cars can be a pain to install in...
  8. Which transmission?

    The press about the switch to the MT-82D4 was everywhere. It wasn't marketed heavily by Ford because it was developed in response to the massive amount of lawsuits they received from the original MT-82...which obviously hasn't helped much because they're still getting their asses sued over the...
  9. Dealer Cant figure out codes....

    Confusing post. The car is throwing codes for active grile shutters and the dealer can't read them? Doesn't know what they mean? Or they don't know how to fix them?
  10. Which comes first, intercooler or exhaust?

    When I put my intercooler in I just bought a lower grille delete to open that space up, help the intercooler breathe a little better and just show off the intercooler which I stenciled on a nice big 'GARRETT' logo. Looks very cool. I bought the bottom section of this and it looks so much better...
  11. Favorite Car You've Owned Besides Your Mustangs

    I was in high school when those came out and remember the hype. Finally a fast Vette!
  12. Which comes first, intercooler or exhaust?

    Nothing much matters unless you address the biggest Achilles heel of the EcoBoost first. Heat management. Buy an intercooler. You can go catless and get a pro tune first if you want, but once this motor is at operating temp and you sit at a couple of stoplights, you won't be much better off than...
  13. Favorite Car You've Owned Besides Your Mustangs

    My 3rd gen 4Runner. Indestructible machine from Toyota's Golden Age.
  14. Noise after an acceleration on an on ramp.

    How many miles on the 2015? If its intermittent then it could be your turbo's waste gate actuator rattling from being worn out. But its also hard to say since you said it just showed up and usually that's a wear problem that gradually shows up. Check to see if your actuator had any play in it...
  15. Blew my 2.3 motor need options, opinions, and thoughts

    Same thing happened to me. Removed all of the parts and the tune and 'key cycled' the motor a boat load of times to bury the re-flash as deep as possible. They rebuilt the motor no questions asked. If you're completely sold out on modding your car, taking the time to go back to stock and having...
  16. Datalogging Pulls Where and How to Get Away With It?

    Was just about to say this. Also, isn't Adam's shop in Texas? You can't find a secluded road anywhere in that desert to do a few pulls!? That seems crazy.
  17. Do you guys trust dealerships? For aftermarket mods?

    Always depends on the dealership. Even if you're doing the job in a parking lot, an intercooler, especially a smaller unit, the job is pretty straightforward.
  18. Intercooler

    This little engine generates an insane amount of heat. In fact, no matter how fast you make these motors, they will always be hamstrung by heat management to a degree. The intercoolers job is making that degree the smallest possible. So, yes there is a benefit and many would argue, including...
  19. Cobb Stage 2 Tune Ignition Correction Question

    No. Also, there are a couple of different knock parameters on the AP, I think you're looking at the wrong one. 'Ign Corr Cylinders 1-4' are the one's to monitor. The one you're looking at, someone correct me if I'm wrong, is the cumulative knock count for all cylinders combined. The number will...
