    HIGH torque build?

    the only mod motors that were high on torque were the V10 and the 5.4l for only 331 cubic inches the 5.4l laid out a higher torque rating and better band than the 5.3l did. unfortunately these engines including the new 5.0 coyote use a small inefficient bore for breathing. to make power with a...

    HIGH torque build?

    I cant remember this correctly but the Romeo and Windsor heads have different thread? even if youre worried about spitting plugs you can still for a lot less money tap all threads and install sleeves. or the best thing to do is over torque the plug by 5-7 pounds. this I still cheaper than buy...

    Quick towing question

    people with this notion of towing tunes race tunes economy tune just incredible how this makes me laugh. if you're worried about towing that weight up the hill/mountain I would suggest to take OD off first. and yes a trans tune by a ford tuner will alter the shift timing to make it seem the...

    Thoughts on first 1000 miles with 2015 Ecoboost

    I recently bought a 2015 navigator with the eco boost 3.5l not happy but there's nothing I can do, I wanted a new vehicle. the fuel economy is worse than my old 5.4 navigator. that's what you get when you drop in displacement. boost doesn't help it! a tune would be a good start for you but...
