Pinkie Pie! LOL!! I have a 3 year old daughter that's all about My Little Pony.

Love that Magnetic color.

Nice! Congrats!

Congrats on the purchase! Look forward to seeing how the car comes together with the mods you have planned.

310/320 to the crank is what they are rated at.

Torrie at Unleashed is who I will probably go with, 300hp to the wheels and 400tq is the norm on 93.

I saw in a few places, tuners were typ getting 300 rwhp...and 417 rwtq..with just a 93 tune..and nothing else. Going from oem 320tq at the crank. ( 281 rwtq)... to 417 rwtq is crazy. That's loads of tq for a dd street car. Sorta like a 60's muscle car, lotsa tq, not much hp. No doubt the ecoboost weighs a heck of a lot less than the 5.0 L...which would have several advantages. Better hp to weight ratio, better front to back weight distribution, better handling, etc.

With 417 rwtq, it should pull hard, esp if the car is a bit lighter. I'd be happy with that package.

If these were set up from the factory like my old '13 Focus ST were, then the torque gains are legit. Ford limits the boost in the lower RPMs for some reason. Tunes just reverse that.

Anyway, I like the car. Congrats! I considered a new EB but ended up getting a new '14 GT since the incentives were so crazy good. Regardless, there's a little bit of jealousy in me about your new car.

Looks awesome, man! Is anyone trying to tune the fusion ecoboost like this, or is it possible?

The reason they are so limited is because Ford wants the EB motors to always "pull" consistently. The boost pressure is adjusted based on temp and humidity to make it feel as fast in 110* temps as it does at 40*.

Congrats Greg, glad you found something and also happy you're back in a Mustang. So when are you coming east to pick this thing up, or are you getting it shipped to you?

 

[GallopingFord]

Transport is picking it up this Thursday... Then it makes its journey across the US.

 

[UltraKla$$ic]

Congrats on the free gift for Auto trans buyers!!!!! I think it will go good with your sandals!!!

 

[Greg Hazlett]

I see someone is primed on a Saturday morning, eh?

 

[UltraKla$$ic]

When u register the car in CA, wouldn't u have to pay sales tax, that's the way its done in most states.

I am not sure on automobiles but on firearms you are correct. Interested to hear the answer on this one.
Nice car Greg. I get why you went with an auto but that would be a fun combo in a manual for sure.

Congrats Greg! Glad you bought another Stang.

He shouldn't have to, as long as you can prove you paid sales tax when you originally obtained the vehicle. At least that's how it is in VA. If he couldn't prove he paid tax then they would make him. But all he needs to do is bring the bill of sale. Unless CA is fucked up in some way.

Congrats Greg! Glad to see you went with the EB, can't wait to see the build commence. From what you and I both read I think you are going to go with the right choice of tuner too.
