So, that Tuesday was Feb 25th which was well over a week ago.

Still no Dyno test?

Did life happen again @ZLwhat ?
Lol god damn, I must live in your head rent free.....any who....we're having some issues with a misfire, all plugs have been replaced and I have ordered (and their sitting on my workbench) ford performance coil packs to replace first thing tomorrow morning to hopefully rid the misfire....it's very slight.....barely noticeable but it does leave a code....and I understand why the shop doesn't want to proceed until that is addressed.

Not hardly buddy.

I was just curious to hear what your results were, since you told us all twice now, that you were going to do it.

So any idea what caused this misfire issue to mysteriously start?

No idea, it's hardy noticeable but it's there, I only get the "random misfire after XXX revolutions" code, and it comes and goes....shop is adamant it's the coils and it's an easy swap....all checks including leak down etc (done twice now) show good.

Can't help but wonder, if this random misfire issue has anything to do with why they were selling it so cheap.

My guess is yes.

You are the one who asked this forum for advice, about a potential vehicle purchase & despite being cautioned about making the purchase by several members (myself included) you pulled the trigger anyway.

Now you've started having problems with it, within a week or 2 of making the purchase, so I guess I can understand, why you're all butt-hurt about it.

Well anyone that still cares, I know coffee for suuuuuuure has been losing sleep not knowing what the final numbers were.......unfortunately most of you were right, especially you coffee. Got it on the dyno and the damn thing blew up.......................ahhhhh I'm kidding....although I know that's what you'd love to hear, it put down some pretty decent numbers.....620hp 506 tq
