    COBB Accessport - Goosetuned Tuning thread

    Hey Goose, Thinking about making the switch from ZFG. Some questions for you, if I may. Do I need to unlock the ECU or just return it to stock? Are your tunes flexible to run E30 from time to time, or is a separate file required? Thank you! -Chris

    Concerning 0-60 Times

    Just went at it again and did 4.24 0-60. 230lb driver, 3/4 tank, launching at about 3K with the tires spinning. Honestly put me in my seat. Much more room for improvement, especially with some suspension and E30, E50 if I ever grow balls. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2022 Tires Worn Already?

    I did not. They were over 50 miles one way and were not easy to deal with. Mind you, I do drive the ST hard, so that is probably a reason why. Bought some Michelin Pilot 4s (all seasons) and they are 10x better than the Continentals.

    2022 Tires Worn Already?

    I bought my ST used with 40K miles and the dealer installed brand new Continental tires. After 11K miles, the tires were worn out. I rotate every 5-6K miles and keep them around 33PSI.

    ST vs. The Competition

    You must have gotten the deal of a lifetime on your ST for that price. Few differences: X3M - No third row, but is only a few hundred pounds lighter than an ST. Non-comp version is 70K, not much more than the ST new for new, and runs low 12's, high 11's stock. X5M - Weighs over 800 pounds...

    Concerning 0-60 Times

    LMAO I did pussyfoot a bit, scared to break shit. I did 5.2 stock, with a passenger and just mashing the gas without brake torqueing the car. .4 seconds faster is sad, really. Older I get, the more scared I am of breaking things. Racing mustangs before, I would break axles on hard launches...

    Concerning 0-60 Times

    Hey, The other day I decided to do some data logging to send back to my tuner and decided to use Dragy to test some things out. Best I was able to do in sport mode was 0-60 in 4.8 seconds. Didn't want to go the full 1/4 mile. Launched at about 2K RPM's, softly, 230LB driver plus a...

    Took the ZFG plunge

    Brand new fluid and fill up about a month ago. Trans still shifts as hard as it feels getting rear ended. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Took the ZFG plunge

    I currently have ZFG and am not overly satisfied with the results and turnaround. Trans still bucks from 1-2 in "race" mode and I was told by ZFG that the trans needs to learn. Usually, tune updates take a week, sometimes longer. Overall, the tune is better than stock and I do notice a big...

    High Mileage Explorer STs check in!

    Nice to see the actual high mileage guys (100K+), which shows the longevity of the STs, Going on 55K on my 20' ST. Recall on 360 done, purge valve replaced. No major issues (knock on wood). Currently a daily driver, averaging 250-300 miles a week.

    ST vs. The Competition

    X5MCs are about 70-75K used with low miles. Considering they are lightyears ahead of STs in terms of tech, quality and comfort, they do not run cheap. I am looking at an X3MC which are about 60K used with low miles. Tune/Downpipes, they are running 10s consistently.

    Thermal 3" Catback with Stock Downpipes, then CVFab Downpipes after?

    I started with the Thermal 3" exhaust, and decided it was not loud enough and added the CVFab downpipes. After a tune with the downpipes added, I did notice more power out of the car than previously before. Definitely worth the upgrade, plus the sound is awesome to boot.

    SLD Engine Cover -- SOLD

    Curious - any pictures of this when it is on the car and if it will fit under a STB without issue?

    Looking for 500hp, what’s the best plan 2023 ST 3000 miles

    Nice. Happy to hear that. I am honestly contemplating going with Goose, as I have heard his tunes are fantastic and customer service is just as good. Although, I am about $2,500 into ZFG with the tune and intercooler, and updated tune I just sent in.

    Looking for 500hp, what’s the best plan 2023 ST 3000 miles

    Did a ton of data logging early on. Added downpipes and intake and he sent a revised tune after about a week of sending in a log. Going to do a log after I bring the car to the dealer for purge valve CEL. One thing that is slow is getting a response from Adam. I am sure he is a busy guy, but a...

    Looking for 500hp, what’s the best plan 2023 ST 3000 miles

    Glad to hear the shifting is good on yours. I went ahead and changed all fluids, and still getting the sluggish and hard shifts, even driving in normal mode. I think there is a slight improvement over stock, but nothing that I am overjoyed about. Wondering if I need to add a bunch of other...

    Looking for 500hp, what’s the best plan 2023 ST 3000 miles

    I see a lot of guys making 430-450WHP with a tune only, which is not remotely close to 500AWHP with just a tune. I can see closer to 500AWHP with E50, but not without. Based on this, I should be making well over 500AWHP on 93 with full bolt-ons, less turbos. Not sure as there are not any AWD...
