What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

panther427 · June 12, 2014, 05:45:43 PM

ya im gonna get a sample sent to black stone. I have all the tools to do it myself. But try to do it at the dealer while its under warrenty. And it shows up on car fax and stuff when you trade it in.

Ya the you get a little coupon book for free syn-blend oil changes every 5k miles. I would have brought it to my local store that i know and trust if i had not needed to go down there :[ we will see..

It was a great week! I lowered the car, installed all new brakes/rotors, detailed it and attended Livernois Customer Appreciation Track Day and ran the best time ever.

12.86@107mph (stage 4+ tune only, Non-PP)

Oh yeah...and the car also turned over a 100,000 miles.

Congrats on the century mark! Great time with a 4+! Planning to go with 4X?

Decon/Polished/Coated the ride on Fathers Day - my first try with Sonax Polymer Netshield. This stuff is great!

SHOdded · June 17, 2014, 09:13:49 AM

Shiny! So how did you choose PNS? Interested in durability too.

watts · June 17, 2014, 10:08:52 AM

I went with the PNS after reading some reviews. I'm not ready to commit to Opticoat quite yet. It seems to permanent to me. PNS seemed like a good way to introduce myself to nano coatings without going the permanent route. Supposed to last 6 months. I also picked up a bottle of the Brilliant Shine Detailer so I'm hoping that can extend the life of the PNS.

SHOdded · June 17, 2014, 10:24:02 AM

Sonax IS good stuff, period! Would be great if you can post periodic updates on your experience with PNS and BSD. TIA.

Finish looks great! Good work!

I feel you on the Coatings. It took me a while, but I did put CQuart Finest on my SHO in Nov 2013... still looks like it did after paint correction and coating.

Consider CQuart and then Iron-X Snow Soap decontamination Reload ($2 wipe on) every 3 months if you decide to go semipermanent. I compared Opticoat, which may be a little more durable, but compared to CQuart finest it has a yellowish caste.

I loaded up my new LMS 4X tune last Friday night...
Wow is my reaction. Obviously stronger than my old 3bar 4+ tune. Esp from a dig

Even with 255 Hankooks on, it searches for traction on the 1-2 shift and actually wheelhops some.

Weird thing is the BOVs now sound different, from a short whoosh to now a 13y/o girl sneezing lol.
Still sounds the same at part throttle blowoff, but with any real boost it sneezes.
Wonder why... cause it does it even at boost levels of the old tune.

ford4thot · June 23, 2014, 10:18:09 PM

Looked at it while I painted

ford4thot · June 25, 2014, 02:52:42 AM

Screw in tire...got new tires. Pretty much time anyway. Pirellis were kind of dry rotted and tread was getting low. Got 275/60R20s Dick Cepek Trail Country for less than $600 OTD.

And on

And the Heep back there feeling left out

Haven't even washed it once yet lol

SHOdded · June 25, 2014, 04:55:09 AM

Is this a new tire model? Hardly any reviews out there. Time to get your truck all shined up, no excuses

Your observations are just like mine regarding the 4X/3 bar. The BOV does make a "whonk" or "wheek" sound - even when not vented to atmosphere. I was a little concerned about the WOT 1-2 shift at first but after driving mine for about 500 miles, the wheel hop is reduced. It still breaks the tires loose on that shift but it seems to have smoothed out some.

Actually it was a close out lol that's why they were so cheap. They weren't really my first choice but with the size I wanted (one up from stock) that was about the only option at this particular tire shop. And for the price....it was a no brainer. Next cheapest option was $1000 for Toyo.
I did wash the truck yesterday and dressed the tires and trim....you can't tell?? 😯
Now the Heep....yeah....hasn't been washed once yet. But...it's a Heep
