RSA is the best place to get your tranny done. Honestly, I’d just save up the $4k to get the tranny built before any more mods happen. I never know why people want to do the 10r80 swap when the 10r60 can be built to handle more then enough.

Also, you’re going to want to get a built transmission because Adam probably is going to limit torque so that you won’t destroy your transmission, making these little mods irrelevant.

The stock exhaust nor the intake are restrictive for stock turbos and you wouldn’t see any gains with that. If you’re upgrading turbos then you might see some worthwhile gains. It probably doesn’t hurt, and Adam could probably dial in the intake more with the upgraded turbos. I would do it.

I got about 24 over a 500 mile trip on a 2-lane road at a very decent speed. Usually get about 16 and around town but I have very heavy foot.

Oh no, factory intercooler is the completely opposite. It literally is the same size as the Focus STs intercooler and gets heat soaked really easily even before a tune.

Here’s what I’d do: 1)Downpipes 2)Wheel tire setup (got to put that power down) 3)BBK (at those speeds you’ll need braking power) 2)built transmission from RSA (you’ll need one with a turbo kit) 3)CRP stage 5 and proper fuel system (you’ll need more fuel with the bigger turbos) 4)diff brace...

Congrats and welcome! Since you’ve gone down the modding rabbit hole in the past with your Focus ST I’ll help you with the modding guide for these cars: https://www.explorerst.org/threads/explorer-st-modding-101-guide.7324/

They never made a 2023 GT500. 2022 was the last year.

2020-2022 are what fits.

Awesome. Congrats! I’ll help your search for mods. I have a full modding guide for these cars with all the parts available for them. I really hope @STFan could sticky it so that people like you know where to look. Hope it will help...

He’s definitely catching up to ZFGs work. I’m sure she’s quick. I already have a heavy foot as it is, can’t imagine what it’d be like with a tune.

I’ve heard those bushings take a good amount of prying to get them out. Not sure if that helps but that’s all I really know.

Maintenance is very much key here. As long as all of the maintenance has been done these things should last pretty long. A warranty will give you that peace of mind also, and I highly recommend it. Welcome to the forum!

Hey can’t argue they function perfectly and they are convenient….but why be convenient when you can buy and ST and spend a lot of money making it fast. Might as well be inconvenient and expensive…and fast.

It also varies by how much the dealer wants to mark it up.

Could be that but could also be the useless security systems that dealers love overcharging for.

A better photo would help us actually know what it is. I am not that very good at reading backwards.

With the right mods the ST will beat the Hellcat from a dig, these things can really find grip. From a roll the Hellcats will be better, as HP eventually comes into play. I never considered the Durango’s because the extremely outdated technology, and the looks aren’t my type. With the right...

You can absolutely keep the grille shutters. People only take them off for the slight air flow improvement but it is only optional.

Exactly what I was going to say also but didn’t want to hijack thread.
