It isn't the HP I am really concerned with, it is the torque and the transmission/clutches. I am curious how long they will last with 500AWHP for example.
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.

Thanks to Adam@ZFGRacing my physically stock Explorer ST is now in the 11’s. Only thing that is different is E50 and a tune.

3.79 0-60
11.97 1/4

Here are the Dragy results!

That 10ree shouldn’t need a rebuild even after that..

Yes, that is a shift. We have worked on the 1-2, and 2-3...and minimized that peak, and decreased the time. It is even better.

Only thing a fuel Pump is needed for is if you are running E85 and want full potential...here is what I posted in another thread:

E50 is the highest concentration you can run with a Tune where you are getting full power on the Stock Pump. On my ST, everything else stock that was good for a 0-60 of 3.75. You get E50 by using an app to calculate how much E85 and 93(E10) to mix.

93(E10) - A tune from the same Company(ZFG) for 93(E10 - Percentage VA requires pump gas to have of Ethanol) was good for a 0-60 of 4.06.

E85, If you want to run it at full potential you need an upgraded HPFP(High Pressure Fuel Pump). It is a $1600 device.

ZFG offers an E85 tune that will work with the Stock Pump. It is turned back. Advantages is it is slightly quicker than a 93(E10) tune at a 0-60 of 4.01 for me. It also gains a 10th or a little more in the 1/4 vs 93. Other advantage is no mixing, just drive up and Pump.

Hope that helps a bit...

Wow. That is crazy. How are you launching to get those numbers?

Here is an example of my standard launch. This was on 93, and was a 4.10...
