Does the custom tune adjust transmission behavior or is entirely focused on the engine? I know some tuners address the transmission and some don't. Can you clarify?
Also, I've heard claims that the S&B intake produces more HP than the AFE. Have you done any dyno...
If you haven't found a place to get your "solo cup" livery yet, check out the link below. I've bought some stuff from Scotty for my Miata, always a positive experience.

Those look great! I considered getting mine powdercoated bronze, but since I already have bronze wheels on another car I chose to keep them silver (at least for now).
I haven't added any mods in the last month (unless you count an ecoboost badge, LOL), but I wanted to add some comments about a my experiences on a recent road trip with the truck.
I took my family on a week-long beach vacation and drove approximately 1,175 total miles. This includes the...
I relocated the front ST badge, I think it looks much better this way.
Also, I added 7mm to the rear wheels. I noticed some rub marks on the rear driver side inner fender. Not sure if this was a constant rub or just under heavy suspension compression, but either way it shouldn't happen going...
Still debating the Jag wheels; I'll post pics if I make any changes.
In the meantime, after 4 MONTHS of waiting with NEARLY ZERO COMMUNICATION from the vendor; I FINALLY received my ST steering wheel (sourced from a European Fiesta ST Mk8). I got it installed last night and definitely makes...
As much as I love the look of my Jaguar wheels I may be parting with them soon. When I still had the steel wheels on, I made a 3 hour round trip drive on the interstate and averaged 32 MPG. I did another interstate trip this weekend (much longer, but overall similar conditions) and was only...
Instructions were included, the process was relatively easy. Torque specs are posted on the forum, can't remember where though. There are general torque specs in the instructions based on bolt size, but they don't match the Ford spec exactly. Also, Ford states in the FSM (factory service...
Goodwin started as a Miata shop (been buying then stuff your years). You can trust that they know suspension. Miatas don’t have power so it’s all about handling.
Amazingly, the 255s are NOT rubbing after I installed the springs. Clearance on the driver side rear is about the thickness of a sheet of paper. I have spacers for the rear ordered and will install them as soon as they arrive.
With regard to the alignment questions; lowering a vehicle ALWAYS...
I didn't install anything other than the springs; I haven't had it aligned yet either. I did gain negative camber in both the front and hear, but haven't had a chance to measure it yet. I'm still on the older tires that came with the wheels, planning to use them to check wear patterns to see...
Progress/Goodwin lowering springs have been installed. The ride quality is fantastic; very close to OEM. I’m VERY happy with how it came out. Still have more mods to do, but I feel like I’m finally making progress.
Quick note on the install, be sure to torque every bolt touched during the...
After further review, it seems that 245/50/19 may be the best choice to ensure that the tire is close to the OEM tire diameter. I'm still a few months away from pulling the trigger though; I want to get the suspension set up correctly first.
Automan21 - I'll try to get some head on shots for...
I didn't replace the tires, I used the ones that came with the wheels. I picked these up for $400 on FB marketplace. The tires have an older date code, but I want to test the alignment with the new springs with these tires before I put new ones on. If I need adjustable toe or camber arms in...
Finally got around to installing my Jaguar F Pace Wheels on my 2024 XL. Tire size is OEM for the Jag at 255/55/19; no rubbing at stock ride height. I still need to get my Goodwin lowering springs installed to complete the look.
EDIT: Added a pic with the Goodwin springs installed.
Another update; the Jag wheels have been mounted, balanced, and installed. Just need to get the lowering springs on to complete the look. I'm pretty happy with how they came out.
Parade laps or not; that's AWESOME! Pics are great and your truck looks fantastic!
I think you might have posted that you're using drilled rotors here or on the FB page; I'd swap to regular blanks, the drilled ones are known to crack at the high temps seen at a track day. I'd also suggest...
