[Tcstang]

I got a quote of 200 for install from the dealer today.

Been debating if I want to spend money on a tune or just save up and get a supercharger.

That's a pretty big difference in cost:lol:

Not yet! I have never actually done a proper 0-60 run as a matter of fact. I think it can easily do low 4's but traction will definitely be an issue. I'll see if I can do it soon* and post a picture of what I come up with.


*all timed runs are taken on a closed course

Thanks would love to see the result if you do one day

Cheers and congrats on the PP2!

Just completed mine with the same setup and I concur. Overall, very pleased with the upgrade. Good Job Ford. Not to be silly, but it truly sounds like a race car now in sport mode when you get into the pedal. It's amazing and when in plain old drive, it's just better. The only difference i notice is that the fans seem to run faster and louder and there's more sound coming from under the hood between the 350 CAI and the increased fan speeds.

I have been thinking about this for a few months. Thanks for the review!

I actually installed Power Pack 2 on my 17 GT not too long ago. Every time I turn off the car, there is a noticeable popping sound that comes from the engine. Is this normal? The car runs fine.

Its the GT350 throttle body. Totally normal.

When I get mine I'll go to the same dealer that did my Ecoboost tune, they allowed me to install the hard parts myself and just flashed the tune for 1 hour of labor - $100. I'm sure I'll get a good rate for this pack, although I think they would have to install the whole thing because the TB probably doesn't work without the tune.

When I had mine installed I already had the sound tube deleted. Already had the tune programmed into my lap top. So it was a pretty simple install. Cost me $125. Another dealer I have work done at wanted $400.

Absolutely. As stated in the marketing, "CARB Certified. Best of all this stage 2 Ford Racing Power Pack with calibration is 50 State Legal under Carb EO# D-598-19."

That slamming shut sound is the throttle body ensuring gasses do not escape, I believe.

Now you don't feel outgunned by the 2018 with the facial paralysis issues the new model has lol.

That's why am getting the PP2 as well. :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Botlfed98]

Except that the 2018 auto will be faster regardless because of the transmission.

I wish it weren't true :headbonk:

Maybe I missed it and aware those Ford Racing numbers are based on 91 octane but what octane were they using?
