Yeah, nothing yet. It will be quite some time before it needs a (re)build, but I'll open a thread just in case. Maybe some pics later too. Don't expect any bolt-on, stick-on, or lay-on parts how-to "builds" though. I know, I know, how disappointing...

Hey! I've started my not-a-build by ordering a new tuner interface hardware!

If your E50 tuned raptor only runs 12.7’s you better rethink your “coming for me” statement. lol
I look forward to seeing your snarky build thread where you shit on everyone else’s mods because they’re not “real” to you.

Not everyone's build thread, just yours. Everyone else(so far) seems quite mellow and open-minded, but you certainly are needy of something...

Oh, the Raptor will definitely run quicker/faster with different tires, but this is completely stock on OEM BFGs. Well, it does have an AEM DryFlow air filter, but they're junk anyway 'cause not K&N oiled gauze, right?

BTW, what does your Raptor run? And how about the ExpST? I read you put an "11 sec E50" tune on it you bought from someone, but what does it actually run? Those floor mats and extra paint must slow it down, huh?

Quick question. If buying a tune from someone like ZFG or PBD is not enough cred as you allude--does that mean you are willing to share your mapping tables in this thread so those of us who know what we are looking at can compare notes and critique?

He can’t handle being critiqued. He’ll send you nasty love letters in a PM. lol

It actually runs 11’s and that’s all you need to know. And I don’t have a Raptor...but I have an F250 that’ll drive over the top of yours. lol

Sure, if you pay me for my tunes as well, but I'm not a business tuner, just my own or friends... Buying tunes and/or paying someone to do the "work" for you is fine for some circles, but not mine. I prefer the actual experience and KNOW the truth rather than someone "tell" me their bullshit.

This has become my new favorite thing on the internet. I've been on this site for a few weeks (just bough an ST) with nothing really to post or add, but the battle of FORZDA vs UNBROKEN has brought me out of the shell to just show how much I appreciate this weird internet war.

It's way better than anything my wife watches on Bravo.

Here's a pic of the latest arrival of "stuff". OEM service manual and wiring diagrams. Always need those for the projects. Service Manual.jpeg

Yeah, sounds to me like you've become a simple keyboard "racer". I'm saying you don't have a valid time slip or draggy file for it. You just buy shit and brag about it like you actually did something yourself. Buying shit if fine, but just admit it when you don't know shit.

Do you want to move on to Monster Truck car-crushing? Damn, you're just grasping at strays there buddy.

You keep saying that...and you’re still wrong. I don’t owe you a plate of cold piss...much less time slips or Dragy times. Those are posted on my FB and IG groups though. Happy hunting.
And like I already told you...I’ve probably built more vehicles than you’ve owned. I’ve had more magazine features than you could ever dream of and even had my builds on FoMoCo’s website.
You drive a Miata around cones in a parking lot. Yay you. lol
You gonna send me another love letter now calling everyone on this site a bunch of “ignorant...f@cks” again? You’ve already shown your true colors...no reason to stop now. lol

Yeah, after all the shit-slinging exercises, we'll likely become friends... I've made a few passes at the Houston Dragway, Royal Purple Dragway, or whatever the **** it's called now.

Bless your heart ol' broke. I have more than a few "featured" WINS, not simple photos or glossy pictures of shit I bought. Anyway, maybe someday you'll learn to stay away from those Criminally censored social media sites. I've long since closed my accounts. They're owned by the libtard morons who are trying to destroy the USA. I'm ready for them though. Lots of ammo...

Get your ST tuned up and come on down. $1000 heads up? Put up or shut up.

Typical internet tactics. I was hoping you were better than that, but nope. I say you come on out here to Virginia. Will your shit run that long?
