The beauty of a turbo is you can have your cake and eat it too. Stay out of the boost and you get 2.0l mpg, get in the throttle and you have 4.0l power (and 4.0l mpg). With a 5.0l coyote, you have 5.0l coyote mpg and power all the time whether you want it or not.

Yes, at this point I'm nearly certain the issues were caused by the sun heating up the black bedliner which transferred all that heat to the back wall of the cab, then heating up the IPMA. And I have given thought about the tonneau cover to reduce drag. But the average speed is around 35...

A couple of pics from today's event.

The IPMA is the silver finned box behind the back seat. Stock size PS4's. 225/55-19

Tires: First event with the new Michelin PS4 tires. They are worth a solid 3 seconds on a 45-50 second course. Soooo much better than the OEM Goodyears. In past events I've been ~12 seconds back from FTD, today it was ~9. It'll be a day or two before I find out the full results, but my...

I've been texting a buddy on the east coast that's been deep in the autox world for the last couple of decades. He said that this electronic glitch is kind of a known thing with the Mustangs in hot weather. Supposedly the Ford racing engineers have been to a bunch of hot weather autox's...

Yes, exactly as you describe. It reminds me of someone that doesn't know how to shift a manual, they lift off the gas before pushing in the clutch.

Agreed. Maybe it was a combination of things. Yes, the 0-60's were in Lobo with a brief power brake. Maybe a second at 1/2 throttle then let off the brake just after the throttle is matted. (I bracket raced for ~10 years with street / No-E cars)

I wish they were PS4S's. Just the regular PS4's. Basically the only choice in a summer tire in the stock size. I didn't want to go to 245/50's since I'm stuck to the stock 7.5" wide wheels for a while, and a 245 on a 7.5 would be squirmy. I'll drive on them a bit before Sunday's event to do...

The stock "snowflake" / BAP wheels.

Did another event over the weekend. First run was fine, everything worked as expected. Then on the second run, turning off stabilty was a little odd. By the second or third corner, I could definitely tell stability was still on as it won't allow full throttle with much steering angle. I...

Weathertech fronts fit my lobo just fine. I don't have anything on the rear.

The main thing is that it's in IPC (thanks to usedtobf150), not PCM as originally mentioned. Then I hadn't used forscan in a couple months so I had to refresh my memory on how it worked. Doh.

Got it figured out. Thank you!

what version of forscan are you guys seeing this option? I updated to the .71 version and don't see it.

It's been done in the race car world for sure. You don't even need to weld up the old holes. Just clock it so the new holes are between the old ones. Any good machine shop can do this.

regarding consistent 1/4 mile times. When I was actively drag racing years ago, atmospherics (temp, barometer, humidity and wind) alone would affect times over 1/2 a second. Way slower in the summer than spring/fall. Then we have no idea if they were leaving from an idle or power braking...

Just got back from an autocross this morning. First time with the Goodwin rear bar on full stiff. Oh my. Now the Lobo will really dive into a corner with authority. So good. Unfortunately I'm still on the OEM Goodyear tires......The turnout was light due to a small chance of rain, and...

6 quarts puts the level right in the middle of the range for me.

I had never heard of the potential issues. I'll have to remember this. Good to know.
