    Ford Performance Tune

    what octane do you use now? I see lots of people not using 91 or 93 octane. Is why I ask, if you dont use 93 you wont get 30hp. Im not smart enough to know HP and octane differences but they always advertise highest numbers with highest octane.

    Yes all tunes you can go back to stock. good call on the new car not needing to smog for 5 years. I forgot all about that. Typically don’t keep long enough. where you at? I’ve seen a white ST a few time this last few days.

    I just tried to get a ZFG tune and since I am in CA also it wouldnt let me buy it. I thought it was funny. I will have a buddy order it for me thats not in CA. Im kinda used to this with gun stuff so not a huge deal. If you stay with intercooler and tune only you will not have to worry about...

    Question for E50-E70 guys

    Well F me I been scared to death this whole time for nothing lol. Since it was a damn built race car motor my buddy showed me and not a stock motor it makes me feel even more confident in that engineers post. Looks like I can do the E tune after all with no worries other then using it up to...

    Question for E50-E70 guys

    Lol I hear that it’s like adding nitrous specially when I can only get 91oct. I’m just worried about the corrosion it causes. A few years back my buddy showed me the inside of one of the race cars he built and it looked like it was at the bottom of the ocean for 10 years. So I made sure I used...

    Question for E50-E70 guys

    Are you guys swapping injectors? Or do the stock injectors have protection (coating) for moisture content in the E? Are you running any fuel conditioner for the rest of motor? I was not going to do anything to my ST (daily driver for work) but I raced a hot chick in a Ferrari no clue what it was...

    JDM Engineering

    What revisions did you need? When they tuned my Raptor they just get your stock tune adjust with a copy and paste tune send it to you and that’s it. Are they actually writing tunes for your exact explorer these days? I hope so but was gonna use them even if just a standard file. I’m not trying...

    What mods do you un-mod before Ford service work?

    I have never been to a dealer that cared about mods. they dont write it down in a black book for later. I have made sure to tell service guy to not flash my computer if you have a tune. I dont even know if it will effect it but I still tell them not to. the mod only becomes a problem when...

    Vinly wrap paint matching

    Make sure you go to a good paint shop. There is a member here who is going thru it right now due to bad prep from shop. I tend to waste money on car and house projects. So I am not really a good person to give this advise but this is just my opinion "you really do get what you pay for with auto...

    Best Fuel?

    I wouldn't get 93 oct unless I was tuned for it. I dont have that option in Cali anyways. I do agree that is not going to change anything. what do other states offer 87-89-91-93 ?

    Best Fuel?

    I agree I dont use 91 for more HP I am stuck in my ways and we always use highest oct to reduce chances of knock. if the explorer ST is rated for 87 then 87 is fine. I will still use 91 just incase. lol there is no way I could leave this SUV in the shop getting a new motor even under warranty I...

    Best Fuel?

    this is just my opinion of coarse. but how much more is it for a full tank of gas? I honestly dont even know the costs of gas but I have friends that will drive all over town or wait in 30 min lines to get gas that is 5 cents cheaper per gallon. thats 5 cents x 20 = 1 damn dollar even at 50...

    H&R Spring variance.

    oh damn already! I just got the regular springs and was waiting to see how people liked the Coil overs. If Lethal has a new lower spring coming this week or soon I think I will have to wait and see that option. Thanks for info.

    People say you are a Cat person or a Dog person. I have to admit I’m a animal person I like the cats independent attitude and insane ninja skills. Watching them play fight I swear someone taught the Jits. Dogs I like their loyalness and unselfish wants to make owners happy.
