    So I am not 100% sure on this question, wondering if an expert can help.... are brake calipers universal? I.E. if I take a stock 2007-2012 Shelby Brembo caliper and put it on my car, will it fit? Thanks!
  2. GT500R
    That's pretty impressive gains for just a revision!!! But... while I definitely agree there is an improvement based on the times, it is tough to judge true 0-60 runs without a VBOX or similar device with excellent GPS signal to show elevation from start to finish (slopes) and Hz of the gps device measuring the times as the cell phone devices aren't 100% accurate (though I am not sure what this person used)...
  3. GT500R
    That is service! My dealership (former) couldn't fix a rattle and cooled seat issue in 2 1/2 months! Hope they fix the issue you are having.
  4. GT500R
    That would be a question for Corey on how long LMS has the car.
  5. GT500R
    Back of the seat is same as before, this does not fix the back of the seat not cooling .... Not sure what to do now, but the dealership I went to is by far the worst dealer for device ever. Flood Ford - East Greenwich RI - avoid at all costs, I repeat AVOID at all costs. 2 1/2 months and I still have a rattle and cooled seat issue doesn't work as designed...
  6. GT500R
    I received my car back after the "fix" (TSB) and haven't really had time to do full testing but will see if this fixes the back seat issue.
  7. GT500R
    Oh also still getting used to the trans as you need to figure out the good shift down points for best acceleration <20 or 40 etc.
  8. GT500R
    So far so good! The K&N filter install was a bit helpful with increased acceleration and works well with the tune. Car has gobs of power, no issues to report this far, went on a quick 1 hour ride on the parkway, set cruise at 65 and go 28.5 mpg I will take a quick video soon of 0-60 to show how quick it is and post it up. I really want LMS to work on fine tuning the 3rd gear meh spot right after the second gear shift (maybe it is the gearing, maybe it's the tuning) but if that gets fixed then we got a low 13's SUV no doubt about it.

    I didn't notice any difference in sound. Didn't really expect to since it is just a filter, I am sure a full intake set up would.

    Previous Tests: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/19286-vbox-tested-0-60-w-93-perf-tune-vs-rpm/ http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/19015-vbox-tested-0-60-vs-rpm-launch/ http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/18909-vbox-tested-drive-vs-sport-0-60/ So after dave80 told me K&N Filters for the car are on sale during Black Friday ($37 plus $10 rebate), I decided to get one and see if there is any difference in performance. Testing was done from 30-60 and 40-80 very most consistent results since I most likely couldn't do the same exact launch every single time for 0-60. (Plus there was a small amount of moisture on the road) Le Filter -> Le Testing results -> Test Notes: - Can't really feel any difference by the seat of my pants (didn't expect to) - MPG seem to be up slightly (yay) - Seems that it does make the car slightly quicker - Based on testing, the filter is good for a tenth or so in the 1/4 mile or longer roll runs. - Based on 40-80, it seems that the K&N car is 10 feet in front at 80 mph which is roughly 1/2 car, not bad. Will most likely retest a 0-60 to see if there is any difference when it dries up a bit. Thanks guys.
  11. GT500R
    Yes they were all tested at once. And adjusted to same conditions - SAEs J1349 procedure as a guide to correct all test results to standard operating conditions of 77 degrees F, 29.32 inches mercury barometric pressure, and zero-percent humidity I guess the extra ho and tq didn't make up for the weight at all interestingly enough.
  12. GT500R
    So I received the January 2016 issue of Motortrend and started reading the specs on the Edge Sport they tested. 0-60: 5.7s 1/4 mile: 14.3 @ 96 mph Some comments: - Generally quiet interior - Liked folding / reclining / one-touch folding rear seats - Sync was a bit slow - Ton of interior rattles to match (lol) - FAST! But what caught my eye is the Lincoln MKX 335 hp and 380 lbs torque 0-60: 6.4 1/4 mile: 14.7 @ 94 mph Which begs the question, why so much slower? MT advised it was due to 200 plus (224 lbs) pound weight penalty was why it was so much slower.... interesting, the .4 would maybe be 400 lbs difference, but I think there is more to it..maybe trans gearing? PS - Volvo XC90 won the SUV of the year. Styling is OK, but meh...

    Looking good Dooley!

    GT500R replied to built2prfctn's topic in 2.7L EcoBoost

    Bought a panel filter for my Edge. Still need to install and test for any type of performance gains.
  15. GT500R
    Is there an issue with them? I am talking about full throttle at 6K rpm in 4th going into 5th where is goes back and forth between the gears before it actually goes into 5th.
  16. GT500R
    1500 miles and still going very very very well. Car seems to love to accelerate down in the lower mph. Just got a K&N filter and will test to see if any performance gains can be had. I think boost increase is 3-5 psi. Only thing I have had an issue and still need to test further is going full throttle from 4th gear to 5th it seems to go back and forth between the gears before going into 5th.... like 4...5...4...5....... Still hoping Corey can get into LMS to get 3rd gear a bit stronger!
  17. GT500R
    Agreed. Will they ever make those STi blocks better?
  18. GT500R
    Un-coincidentally though they are completely different blocks in every which way... compression ratio, VVT, direct injection, etc. etc. etc. is all different.... the only thing they share is 6 cylinders, 4 valves a cylinder and 2.7 L of displacement. Can't compare the two.
  19. GT500R
    Have you tested cat back Dave? Or just speculation based on other models? I agree down pipes will be more hp then catback but it will sound better
  20. GT500R
    Ordered Dave, thanks! That Magnaglow is $800+... Maybe a custom exhaust would work as well....
  21. GT500R
    From where Dave?
  22. GT500R
    The cat back seems like you could get some nice gains based on the resonator muffler set up. I am not a fan of the dual doe pipe to one exhaust idea. Also wondering if intakes will do anything as the 3.5's don't really seem to gain much from them...
  23. GT500R
    They don't need to read the stock ECU but need to know things like strategy code and ECU part #. I read on ecoboost if you get something updated from from regarding a tune you need to have LMS update with the new strategy code I think...
  24. GT500R
    I did only one tank with the 93 file and no issues whatsoever. I have ran the 87,91,93 files just to see how each one reacts, the 87 is strong but not as strong as the 91/93 obviously. Nothing but good stuff so far, the trans shifts are quick and I think it takes a while to adjust after a new tune is loaded so the jury is still out in that. Will report more when I run more 93 miles.
  25. GT500R
    So still haven't heard from my dealership yet, but I received an email 2 days ago (after emailing a couple VP's) from Frederiek Toney (President, Global Ford Customer Service) saying my issue will be addressed, its only been 51 days since I had it in the dealership and they said they would repair it but haven't responded since early November after I had to call them 5 times
