I have one. Very nice work. No performance data to confirm the makers claims. Easy bolt on. I believe the company that “makes”these ( and many other Mfr TB’s) has before and after flow data.
My experience with SVO 2.3 Turbo-
Boost them let off generating smoke- and it is oil- then turbo is on it’s way out. Serious oil consumption also tell tale symptom. Good luck!
Interesting!
I have 5 star as my first tune and it would le you increase line pressure in 5% increments for harder shifts. I liked 10%. The Gearhead AO tune dos not have that option.
True. Still- John hits his goals of up to and possibly over 700lb/ft of torque, that is still serious loads on all mentioned components.
And I look forward to those big numbers!
One more consideration-
With your power goals and that snazzy multiport ethanol injection- Just how much traction do you really want at launch? I love a great 60 foot but I was beating on a rwd 5.0 w/ built 8.8, police aluminum driveshaft at 3000lbs. 6k and side step the clutch on MT ET...
Yeah!!
Just didn’t bother to grow up!
I’m at a light-
Caddy ATS, aftermarket wheels and loud exhaust pulls over into the right lane that ends soon after the light. He didn’t expect me launch so got out a bit and then held him off my rear quarter. No idea on his drivetrain.
Wasn't a theory on the 75lb T5's! You made sure you had a few from the pick and pull in your garage. Since they were in T-birds, Mustangs and Rangers, you could find them readily. May not be the 5.0 spec gear set and torque ratings, but cheap backups were a good thing.
Howdy!
Just picked up a 2014 Explorer Sport 3.5L Ecoboost. 78k miles, dinged an all 4 corners but mechanically sound. 5 star tune and 3 bar MAP good to go!
Will become a daily driver and occasional tow rig for sailboat or travel trailer.
