Need to wait until car is completely done though.

Here is my next purchase. FI system good for up to 1200HP can handle 25psi of boost or a stage of N2O straight out of the box. :D

Let me know how that goes. We've used the "Powerjection" systems in the past with good results. Nice fuel injection systems for a good price, and they aren't over-complicated.

My kids go most everywhere with us and my wife and I are both over six feet tall, we wanted the crew cab because it has over 40 inches of leg room in the back seat. And personally I.think they look better than the ones with smaller rear doors.

It's a custom sport ltz. I really like the grill compared to the others available.

And I've sent 4 sets of wheels back because they weren't the right ones when I saw them with it.

There are a ton of stupid wheels out there for these things

Have you guys seen that video of the guy who takes his truck to the dealerships and tells them he's getting a weird noise? He takes them out and tell them he hears it when he accelerates hard. He does this and little do they know he's got a 1200 HP twin turbo engine. It's ****ing awesome and the faces of those in the truck are priceless.

Found it!

What??? The ST has a good trans that can hold more power than stock as long as your not tearing through downtown like Ken Block.

now.. the Ford Focus auto DCT did have a ton of problems, but thats not the trans of the ST. Maybe thats what you see?

I'll try to find it.

I had a dodge dealer buddy that had a modded viper on the lot and none of their guys could figure out the noise it made while shifting from third to fourth and only at wide open throttle.


Fun times riding with this crazy **** but I figured it out. The exhaust was flexing in a clamp and popping.

Marcellus 12-17-2015 08:28 PM

Thats good shit. That kills me, I want a turbo motor so bad. Just 8-10 psi should do it.

Too many episodes of Street Outlaws.

I might not know what I am talking about on major issues but many ST owners are claiming of an annoying transmission shudder with their STs on the forums. Then again, they could be driving them like a modified hot rod.
