Hey Guys, I got bit.


Bit by the speed bug to make some more power in my Flex.


I have a Programmer and tunes ordered from Torrie, Mdesign CAI, colder plugs, 170* thermostat, 3 bar Map coming.

What can I expect numbers-wise, or time-wise from your experiences on the dyno or track?

I'm also contemplating my next mod, but Im torn. I feel like my potential choke point could be the factory exhaust, but yet I havent heard a single Ecoboost aftermarket exhaust Ive liked, in the Flex, Taurus, etc. I was also contemplating a Snow Performance Meth Injection kit as an alternate option.

Any other "NEXT-UP" modifications you'd suggest to consider as my next step?

Downpipes would be the next step... IMHO...

Welcome, Hesh!  SBS is right on point :)  Have you got the maintenance up to date yet?  Spark plugs, all fluids, intercooler/turbo piping checks, etc.?

Do introduce yourself and your Flex here

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

What your DA?  Do you have access to 93 octane fuel?

Thanks for the warm welcome! All my maintenance, fluids & piping is covered and in check. One step colder NGK spark plugs are on their way (as mentioned above). Worth mentioning, I suppose, is that Ive also upgraded my front rotors and pads to the Powerstop 1-Click Brake Kit (Slotted and Drilled w/ CF Ceramic pads), with plans to do the +13 or Police Interceptor upgrade once either my fronts or rears wear out.

Forgive me - what does DA stand for?

Density Altitude.  A measurement that allows you to standardize track times based on altitude/air pressure,  temperature,  and humidity/dew point. Commonly used in aviation.

Ah, gotcha.

The density altitude from what I can find is 1674.33 ft at the track (about 45mins out of town) and 1588.53 ft in town.

FWIW, if it applies, track elevation is  +744 ft and in town is +757

Anyone else with any insight into HP predictions, or track time guesstimates?
