Was bored today so decided to make some new video in HD of course..

Basic videos of me driving my expy/lightning. It is currently running very well and Drive-ability is near perfect. Cold start, hot start, open loop, closed loop, throttle response is very linear. Goes from pullling fairly strong to pulling like a bat out of hell as you feed the throttle. Well.... for a near 6,000 lb expedition anyways.

Believe it or not it still has dual 3" exhaust from the headers back. The past summer I had extra cats install as well as 1/4 wave resonator tubes. It now has 4 cats installed using the high flows as pre-cats and standard larger gvw cats directly behind them. Its fairly quiet now but louder than stock.

The following is the cold start and drive away video.

00005 - YouTube

The following is driving around. Feeding into the throttle pretty aggressively on several occasions but at no time just punching it. (Keeps it from engaging A4wd).

From about 6:00 minutes on there is not much "action". Just typical driving in traffic.

The following is parking it after the drive and a walk around and look under the hood.

Thought I posted these elsewhere but will group them here anyways...


Some go pro videos from racing this past fall in HD.

This first pass it spun badly as the a4wd did not kick in ??
Not easily seen or heard but I could certainly feel it.
2.0 60' spinning.. still managed a 12.88 @ 105.85

Ford expedition 1st pass with go pro. - YouTube

Me racing a 9 second mustang heads up. Check out his parachute :) .. Yep, my 12 second expy doesn't stand a chance. I ran a 12.67 @ 106 on this pass.

It was a fall ford event test and tune. It was the luck of the draw who was in the other lane. Odds are it would be a fox body....lol. For some reason there were no other expeditions?!:shrug: I beat the 1st car to the finish line but he passed me afterwards. Of course the camera was mounted on the wrong side for that run.

I still don't like you either. You and Samrider

Your just jealous I have the complete original rear view mirror on the drivers side.. :p

Stop posting these!!!! It makes me miss my HD F150 really bad! LOL.

:(
