I'm guessing either AirAid or JLT had something to say regarding the comparison, or since he was feeling sick and didn't go to the track, had to redact everything because of some sort of agreement.

well then. i was just looking at this again ... and nothing. :(
My guess is that some subjective things were said in the post...but the agreement for testing was an objective comparison via back to back drag strip data.
I'm assuming we'll get something to chew on next weekend.

Guys, it is not what you think. I just can't make it happen right now and not sure when I will be able to.

In all sincerity the car is too slow for me and I am thinking of trading it in. I am shopping it around at the moment. I don't think the car is going to provide a satisfactory level of performance for me without serious mods, so I am thinking of going to a new GT or back to an S-197 and getting a Boss 302. I am leaning towards a Boss because when I bought my 2012 GT, I bought it only because the dealers were all asking 10k over list for the Boss. The 2015 is a great car and I love driving it, but I am bored with it already.
Hopefully that is a satisfactory response.

I can totally understand this. I have a 14 GT (pretty much a 'full retard' 8 second car) and the Eco is my wife's. It is a fun car but I don't think I'd be happy having it as my only car.
This is the part that worries me is 'if' the market will actually do something. Yes there will be mods and upgrades but I'm more worried about the fueling options above anything else. All the upgrades and mods won't mean a thing if the fuel system isn't addressed. It's scary to me as long as the ecoboost option has been out that even the SHO's and F150's don't have a true viable option.

Hey, it is what it is. I know myself all too well and my enthusiasm has waned. I also find myself largely at odds with an ownership group that wants to argue over such subjects as the validity of running 87 octane. When one of the hottest topics on the "Engine/Mods: Bolt-ons, Exhaust and tuning" section of the most popular board for the platform is about running the car on 87 and reduced power levels, I think I bought the wrong car.

I have two 8 second cars and I am a very active grudge racer. I wanted to build this car up as a killer sleeper and hustler, but people expect everything I own with a turbo to be absurdly fast anyway, so people already don't trust the car or me. Pretty funny that you mentioned the "full retard" line, I named my LS turbo 280Z "Simple Jack," LOL.

But the difference is that a lot of import companies are working on the ecoboost. The popularity of the mustang being #1 in the USA will bring more attention. Turbo 4 cyl cars have always needed more fuel and boost to keep up with the domestic cars. Something they have been doing a long time. The fuel issue will get fixed or I'm swapping in the flat crank out of the gt350 lol.
