I have used VP, Torco and Race Gas products. The only one I have not tried is the Race Gas Ultra. Where I live 91 is the best you can get. Sometimes I like to run the 93 tune but to do that I have to buy 100 octane Race fuel at $9.40 per gal and blend it with 91, or use one of these additives. I decided to try all three bad to back with a tank of gas to compare. First up was the VP Madditive I rate it last place as my motor ran rough and did not make good power. I was concerned that it did not rase the octane enough to run the 93 tune although I did and there was no damage. I will not buy it again. Next place goes to Torco Accellrator this product worked well with the 93 tune providing smooth acceleration and noticeable power gains I would use it again if Race Gas was unavailable. In first place and making me a believer is Race Gas. I mixed one can to a tank of 91 and what a difference it made with the 93 tune. The car came alive and was making tons of power. The engine also sounded quieter and smoother than with Torco. I am going to try the Race Gas ultra next. It might be overkill as the normal Race Gas worked so well . I should have used my Dragy to have numbers to back up my butt dyno. Oh well next time.

The volume control adjusts not only the Radio but also the Phone and Navigation. To adjust the volume of the phone turn up the volume when on the phone. To adjust the volume of the navigation voice giving directions you need to be quick and adjust the volume when the nav is talking. All three volume adjustments are separate and remain as set, one does not effect the other.

Jgrasham your best bet might be to have a turbo custom made . Here is a link to several used turbos that will work for rebuilding / upgrading at Comp Turbo or other reputable turbo shop. You should be able to get a good rebuildable turbo for around $150 to $250. Just fill out the search form at the link. Call first and check that the turbo you pick is complete and has all the parts and clamps before ordering. That way it will be an easy bolt on swap. This is where and how I did mine. http://car-part.com I do not think Jgrasham has a 2860 Focus ... My bad *** ***The link I gave to the Focus 2L EB turbo gave these stats: FITMENT & FEATURES Manufacturer: Manufacturer: ATP Advanced Tuning Products Vehicle Fitment: Fits Model Year: 2860

I have upgraded the IC and have a tune in my car, it has run 12.9 on 91 octane. The only problem with upgrading turbos is finding a tuner who will work with you to get the most out of them.

What what was once thought impossible for the Edge with its weight penalty and smaller engine to the Alpha is now a reality. Alfa Stelvio Quadrifoglo listed at 505hp base price $75,900 , with popular options $87,065 + tax and Lic. Alpha: PERFORMANCE (C/D EST): Zero to 60 mph: 3.6 sec Zero to 100 mph: 9.0 sec Standing ¼-mile: 12.2 sec

Both snmjim and I have custom turbo mods on our cars. I bought some used turbos for my car at http://car-part.com and had them upgraded at Comp Turbos in California https://www.compturbotechnology.com. By doing this they were a direct bolt in swap. Stock has a six blade cast and the mod has a 11 blade CNC you can see how it is hogged out to the max . Not sure but as I remember the stock turbos are 57mm and the mod turbos are 61mm. Here are the before and after photos. Not sure this will work but check this out https://www.steeda.com/atp-focus-st-gt2860rs-bolt-on-turbo-upgrade-13-14-st-987-atp-foc-010 .Good luck.

HA HA limping to a 12.29 world record. Wow !!! When you get the bugs out your monster could be in the 11 second range . I never thought in a million years that an Edge could do that unless it was a dedicated trailered race car. Do you know how much boost you are making?

OMG!!! 12.29 that is way fast for any type of car, for a Crossover that's just insane fast. Congratulations on a new world record , your hard work has paid off . Awesome job !

The official launch date is November 17th – At that time we'll have full details, including the model name, trim levels, pricing, charge range, etc. It's all quite exciting, and very top secret, so at this time all we have to share are rumors and assumptions.

Please don't confuse what happened in the video., all my comments are about what happened in the video . The Vette spun out and the ST drove away from it therefor smoking it. In another time or place the Vette would smoke the ST but in this video it did not happen that way. If it was the last lap of a race it would have been Lambo First, ST Second and the Vette in Third place. I am not saying anything like the ST is faster than a C6 Vette. Never said that. Just talking about what happened in the video. I posted the C1 through C3 Vette 1/4 mile times just for comparison. How amazing that a 2.7L SUV is as fast as a Big Block C3 LS6 solid lifter 454 with a 4 speed @13.8 seconds. And the ST gets much better MPG.

Just where did I say that?

The 2019 ST Dragy time slip at the top of this page says it ran a 13.84 1/4 mile . My 2016 Sport runs 12.9 The ST would smoke a lot of the Corvettes of the muscle car era. Here are some Corvette ETs that car magazines reported from their road tests: 1. Motor Trend tested a 1964 model 327 / 375 hp fuel injected with 4.11 gears and turned a 14.2 @100 2. Road & Track, 1964 model 327 / 300 hp automatic did a 15.2 e.t. 3. Car and Driver, 1965 model 327 / 350 hp and 3.36 gears got 14.9 4. Road & Track tested a 1965 model 396 / 425 hp with 3.70 gears and complained about wheel spin and turned a 14.1 5. Motor Trend, 1967 model 427 / 435 hp with 3.55 gears did 13.8 @ 104 mph. 6. Car and Driver 1967 model 427 / 435 hp got 13.6 @ 105. EDIT: 7. C&D, R&T and MT did 4 tests on 1966 and 1967 427 / 425 hp and the average of those were 13.53 @ 107.6 mph. 8. Car and Driver 1968 model 427 / 400 hp did 14.1 @ 102 9. Car and Driver 1971 model (GM mandated lowered compression beginning with this year) 350 LT1 making 330 hp with a 4 speed and 3.70 gears hustled down the strip at a 14.57 @ 100.55 10. Car and Driver 1971 model LS6 solid lifter 454 / 425 hp with double-disc clutch & 4-speed turned a 13.8 at 104.65 with 3.36 gears. EDIT: #11. See post later in this thread re the L88. 11. Car Life, model 1969 L88 427 / 430 hp, 3.36 gears, automatic, 14.101 @ 106.89 and top speed of 151 mph.

The reason the Corvette spun out is the driver was trying to keep up and did not have the skill to do so. Regardless he spun out trying to hang with the ST. So in my book the ST smoked him.

My brother has a red P4 replica for sale if anyone is interested. PM me for info.

This video shows just how much fun the ST is and how it lapped for 40 min flat out without overheating. The Edge ST runs down a Miata and a Corvette spins out trying to keep up.

I believe LMS has 87,89,91 and 93 tunes available in both performance and towing . As I understand “aggressive” is in reference to how the car shifts. Also do not use a performance tune to tow anything.

Macbwt, I found this video that you might find interesting . In these tests Amsoil and Pennzoil Platinum fight it out for top spot over many of the brands you have tested . The Pennzoil is recommended in this video for DI use over the Amsoil. I find your series of videos to be be interesting, informative, educational and entertaining so keep up the good work. Your thoughts on this video and if it is in line with your findings would be appreciated.

Here is the notice sent out by Ford on how to do a proper oil pan fix. Apr 25 2018 6410 - 2014-2019 Various Vehicles - Equipped with a 2.7L and 3.0L GTDI Engine - Oil Pan Leak. Some Ford and Lincoln vehicles equipped with a 2.7L or 3.0L EcoBoost engines may exhibit an oil leak from the engine oil pan RTV seal. Replace the oil pan by performing the published Workshop Manual (WSM) service procedures. 1. After removing the oil pan, it is suggested to allow the crankcase to drain overnight ** to minimize the chance of residual oil contaminating the crankcase sealing rail. 2. Remove all traces of old RTV, clean the engine sealing surface with only Motorcraft® Metal Brake Parts Cleaner then wipe with Motorcraft® Metal Surface Prep Wipes, and allow to air dry as directed in WSM, Section 303-00, RTV Sealing Surface Cleaning and Preparation. 3. If possible, after the new oil pan is installed, allow the new RTV sealant to cure for 4 hours *** before refilling the engine with oil. Ford is investigating this concern. Monitor OASIS for future updates. ** This is very important. It is an easy job, you just have to take the time to do it correctly. *** On my car the RTV was allowed to cure overnight before oil was added . I have had no problems or leaks.

CAD Renderings of the Ford Mustang Inspired SUV Leaked

Agree but it is the Mustang EV test Mule. There are videos of it on the street as well . Ford released this rear view tease.

Testing the MustangSUV test mule in winter conditions. Although Ford has the car in wraps this is first video of the car driving I have found.

One variant will be rear wheel drive with a extended range . According to a recent press release . My guess is 300 miles
