I know as far as the pump goes there is a new pump that is supposed to be a lot better than the existing model and that has been a hold up. So I don’t believe pbd will sell the older model. They are just telling people to wait for the better one that is coming out. Also pbd doesn’t require money down to get in line for the intercoolers. As soon as there in stock which they have bought such a large order is supposed to be very soon and they will go down the list and collect money and ship out.

Bryan-
As of right now, no we do not have a calibration for the Explorer ST. With that said, we are exploring it (no pun intended) but as of right now, nothing is set in stone.

What is the best technique for launching these things?
I just got mine and was playing with my Dragy and my 0-60's were a bit dismal. I had it in sport, advance-trac off, used just enough brake to hold it still and revved up to as high as it would go (2500 ish) and the best I could get was a 5.77. It was heat soaked from a highway drive and the DA was a dismal 5631 ft.
It did 14.15@97.24 and a pedestrian 2.11 60 ft
It had only 700km on the odometer so perhaps it just needs some time to loosen up.

Put it in N and pump the brakes and then put them to the floor and put it back in drive. You should be able to stall it up to 3000. Just watch out for wheel hop. If you have the right tune, you can also leave in 2nd gear which might work better in the higher alt.

The heat soak is killing you! But if driving easy on the interstate, you can cool things down pretty good. Especially if the shutters are open.
Like Adam said below, except I do not switch to neutral. I pump and stand on the brake in Drive/Sport Mode. Ease the gas to get to just under 3000 RPM’s and release the brake. Also, you just have to turn Traction Control off not completely disable AdvanceTrac. Just the momentary press is all you need.

No issues with the 275 21’s hooking! They get a little spin. Since the driveshaft has been partially proven to be a weak link, a little spin might not be terrible.
Stock, except for drop in AFE Dry, and ZFG E50 tune. This is the 2nd fastest time I have seen. 3.75, also done by me, but a negative DA.
All I am saying is if the 305’s stick real well, to be careful. Wheel hop and a hard launch trashed another guys drive shaft.

I'm curious how much slower the 0-60 times would be without rev'ing up first... just stepping on the gas to start. The last thing I need is to snap a driveshaft on my ST mobile, (My kids call it the ST mobile, saying it like a word, not two separate letters... lol) lease. But, I can't do anything till it gets back from the shop... lol. under 300 miles and it's 2nd trip to the dealer for powertrain malfunctions... ugh. But, even still, I love this car, for me, the best car I've ever owned.
