More backpressure leads to lag, less backpressure less lag.

By "motor lift" do you mean the rear end squatting when you hit the go pedal? The engine is setup in a longitudinal design to favor rwd bias. There will be some twist but I have not once felt it on launch.

I did just shy of 10 years as a surface nuke EM. Got out in 2012. I am now a Generation dispatcher and Transmission operator for a private utility company.

One of the tuning companies said their test ST had ~300+ launches including street and track and 21k miles before needing a rebuild on the transmission with greater than 500awhp.

I get this a bit with the roof rack on black, people thinking the roof rack is a light bar.

If you use cruise control in sport mode it will engine brake including downshift multiple times instead of only using the brakes when in Normal or Eco.

Need to data log and try and recreate.. might have been a misfire / detonation the ecu retarded timing to prevent damage to the engine. How many miles do you have while tuned?

A tune will push the turbo's harder. By pushing the turbo's harder you produce more heat. A cat back exhaust doesn't remove heat shields under the vehicle. The Borla exhausts don't replace the catalytic converters. The stock cats do have a little bit of heat shielding so by replacing those...

Tire circumference has to be the same. If you run tires with different diameters, the front and rear will be trying to spin at different rates which as @Brett636 said, will damage the transfer case. https://tiresize.com/comparison/ https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=18

2nd row with the bench seat it is... checked mine...

Is that the cup holders for the second row?

1st gear launch?

thank you

Impressive!

I'd like to know more but I'm not ready to change out the originals until the warranty is over... I don't actually even know what size the stock turbos are.. By 'drop in', do you mean replacement internals or the entire turbo? Would there be a core charge if just internals? I assume the stock...

Focaljet or FocusFanatics? lol j/k It looks like there are some issues with sensors on earlier builds. I recommend looking for a more newly built ExST.

where'd you find this? cannot find it on their website. https://afepower.com/

Is your tune a cookie cutter or were they done on the dyno and street for each vehicle?

I looked it up and you're correct. That's odd that Mazda chose the midsize platform for such a long / heavier vehicle.
