    Hi, You've obviously a vast knowledge of something. Not sure what. If you bother to read Ford's literature it does in fact state max power achieved with 93 octane, for all it's "performance output ratings" whether it is gen II 3.5 Eco, in Expy, or 5.0 in Mustang since it's reintroduction as the...

    One more little tidbit...how much torque were those Hemi's putting down? I doubt they were much more than 500ft/lbs??? They also roasted their tires too 6" wide bias ply. I'm confident the 3.5 Ecoboost v6 is around 500ft/lbs + on good fuel and decent weather conditions. And then you add in...

    That is inline with my estimate... ~236lbs - me ~75lbs - blue ox wdh receiver ~5645 - XLT 4x4 fully fueled 23 gallon tank I'm also very curious to know (likely will never get affirmation) if HDTow pkg in Expedition also has enhanced PCM tuning (especially at low end rpm ~ <3000rpm with possibly...

    I should have clarified, the cost of the tune, isn't that extraordinary, however if you don't have an N-Gauge, you have to buy it in order to tune these things. So yes, $100-$200 for a few tunes is an awesome price, but I have to consider the cost of the device in my decision to move forward...

    I'm all for goon behavior at the proper venue. That said, I do plan to hit the strip, this weekend. 0-60 with a 3.73 rear end @5.5 is totally believable if you drink the same kool-aid I've been drinking. My estimated weight of a small expy 4x4 full of fuel is 5865lbs from what I've been able...

    No, I've not tried to launch until this morning. Normally I put in Sport mode, which by default engages 4A, but I totally forgot to turn the knob to Sport, so by default I was in Normal mode and 2-HI. My weight is between 235-245, plus I have an 11" drop receiver hitch (BlueOx), locking pin and...

    I'm not trying to pass these numbers off as gospel, that's what the track and timing lights are for, which I plan to go this weekend, weather permitting. Also we need to remember that my truck has been through 3 tanks of pure, non-ethanol 93 octane gasoline, after a couple or so tanks of 87 then...

    Well, I just shocked meeself! Traction control off Auto stop off Normal mode instead of Sport because I forgot 2 Hi also cuz I forgot sport mode which automatically chooses 4auto. This is .01 slower than my best on 4 wheels in 1/4 mile, and yes I loaded the tranny this time to 2000 rpm. Unreal...

    For sure you can datalog, as evidenced by the vid below, but I also think you can get performance data too, 0-60...1/4mile, etc

    I agree, in the right conditions- low humidity, <80°F, I likely have a high thirteen second vehicle, so long as I'm running 93 octane. I'd be surprised it wouldn't be, especially if I go to the dragstrip on a Friday night, with less than 1/4 of a tank of gas back there too. All of my "logging...

    I thought the N-Gauge device that comes with tune, could datalog? The OBDLink MX is only ~$70 on Amazon. Unless you're an Apple user, then yes the only device I know of is the ot2 thing I posted before

    There in lies my problem, 40hp with better shifting and maybe 80ft/lbs for $650.

    EXPY Tunes

    Also want to mention...look at the 1000ft marks, more than the 1/4 mile. Reason being, I have no idea where exactly the 1320 foot mark is, from where I start. In all likelihood, I'm already coasting by the time I've passed the 1320 mark, to not draw unwanted attention to myself. I need to take...

    The last pic (in the above prior post) was the first time after filling up with 93 octane, with zero ethanol, with about 2-3 gallons of 87octane with the common 10% ethanol. The following is after a couple of refuels also 93 octane, with zero ethanol. Note that each of these were done at exactly...

    I'm not trying to sell anyone on the OBDLink MX, merely pointing out it is relatively inexpensive, for what can be done with it. As long as you have an Android phone. Not compatible with ANY Apple product, though it is Windows compatible so you can use your laptop with it, or notebook, etc...

    Winter Tire Setup

    Here are some pics of the stock rims vs. the rims I bought 2nd hand from a shop in Indiana via eBay. They were packed extraordinarily well, imo, as well as the tires.

    Winter Tire Setup

    I bought a set of used rims off eBay that are almost identical (exact same design) to what came on my 18. The entire face is machined, where my 18 wheels have every other spoke painted charcoal. ~$450 Plus I bought a new set of dedicated ice/snow tires, ~$400 and a set of new tpms sensors with...

    How dooo from Virginny

    I kind of did this backwards. I posted a reply before coming in here. I bought a new '18 XLT 4x4 with HD tow the last few days of July '18. I laugh my ass off, everytime I get a chance in the morning to stand on it from a dead stop. Almost 6,000 lbs of mobile box, shouldn't be this quick, but...

    I have been tempted to do so, as they're relatively close to me. The problem I have is, they haven't published any before and after graphs of their tune on the expedition. Some fella named Tim told me to expect about a 40hp gain, when I inquired over the phone, which hp/$ is a bit WEAK IMO. As...
