Bill's ST

[njtta150]

Finally picked up my 2023 ST, been lurking on and off here.

I wanted the bench and no sunroof, so took a little longer I guess. Only went for the 401A group and Tech package.

Car is a little dirty in the picture sorry, so much pollen here lately.

As you can see I have done a few things already and contemplating a few others.


Exterior
Completed
Removed roof rails and replaced with the slick top blanks.
20% ceramic tint on side windows
weather tech vent visors
Removed Explorer letters on the hood
Gray/black Ford emblem overlays front and rear

Contemplating
ST badge removal - really liked the way it looks without explorer on the hood. Think I would like this as well.
How is the ST grill emblem attached?
Wheels/tires - see what happens once the Pirellis wear out.


Interior
Completed
Husky mats and cargo liner
Gray/black Ford emblem overlay on steering wheel.
BlackVue front/rear dashcams

Probably won't do anything else interior wise


Suspension
Plan on the following
Steeda springs and rear sway bar


Performance
Plan on the following
Whipple IC
Tune - trying to decide what to do tune wise as I already have an SCT from my previous vehicle (2013 F150 ecoboost).
Also I would probably just do an AO tune. Didn't really like having to switch n the F150 depending on what I was doing.
Plus no E85 so limited to the E10 87,89 or 93 octanes here in central New Jersey.



Contemplating
Intake kit - AFE or see what S&B looks like when it comes out. Really this would just be for added noise and easy to clean filters.
Thermal 2.5 exhaust - Again for the noise , not sure how i feel about the FENG.


Which brings up my next question, where is the idiots guide to Forscan for the ST?

Thinking about Bambi, FENG, the double honk, any other recommendations?

Pretty much a Forscan newb as there wasn't much I could have done to the F150.

Looks great, welcome. I like the age intake and 2.5 Thermal. Search is your friend on forscan.

Welcome to the forum

 

[njtta150]

So did a few more things off my list.

ST badges removed, defiantly like the way it looks now, cleaner.

Did some Forscan adjustments.
Bambi mode.
Double honk disabled.
Amber DRL thanks to @R2D2 write up.
Disabled FENG then thought it was too quiet so turned it back on. Maybe once I listen to some exhausts and decide wat to buy, I will turn it off.

Installed the Steeda rear subframe bushing inserts and vertical link inserts.
Now just need to decide what springs and sway bar to go with. Was going to go with Steeda but now reading about the corrosion issues, having second thoughts.
I like that Steeda is minimal drop and keeps the rake. I have thought about still getting them and taking them to a local powder coater.

I also ordered the Ford performance skid plate, waitign on that.

Next up on the list to order, Whipple intercooler, ZFG tune and S&B intake.
