I'm pretty sure there plenty of room in the trunk for a double

Good to hear, it seems like a really cool feature.

I wish I had Sync although, "happy ending" probably won't be recognzied so it will be useless for me

Yeah, the fact that it is 99% software is very good for ford. I don't think anyone else has anything close, and in lower-level cars, it presents a huge advantage. To me, it is relatively unimportant, but it would cost ford only the illusion of premium-ness, and about a dollar a unit to put it in EVERY car they sell...huge differentiator between honda/toyota/etc.

That sounds like a plan. MGW makes good stuff so I'm sure you will be happy with it. If I decide to change the shifter that's the route I am going to go.

I've heard only positive things. Haven't paid enough attention to really know much though.

Why pay attention when you do my research for me?

So you can tell the difference between information and misinformation.

In other news, my tuner sent me some new tunes to try.

I was having some issues with high rpm pinging at times (above 6k rpm @ WOT) and thought that it might be partially attributed to the exhaust leak I have right now. Tuner doesn't think that's the case since it's post 02 sensor, but it might be.

Either way I was running a 93 Performance tune and he sent me one tuned for 91. We'll see how that works.

Also got an 89 Street tune for added flexibility.

did you hear the ping or through data logs?

m4a1mustang · 10-06-2011, 01:27 PM

Heard it.

I heard it once before when I first started with the tune this spring and we fixed it. So I'm thinking it's the exhaust or just bad gas (hence the decrease in the Octane rating on the new tunes).

GZ3 · 10-06-2011, 02:04 PM

i ve been thinking of going to a 91 tune just to be safe, there car will add timing anyway if you actually get 93oct or dump some torco in there...
