I've contacted every single HPFP manufacturer and NONE are interested, they don't realize sheer size of the market for the F150. Even 1% of the owners would be easily 10 times the size of the Mazda/VW market. They'll recognize it eventually I"m sure.

I've been looking around the 3.7L mustang threads and the aftermarket is all over them with rotating forged assemblies, twin turbo kits and aftermarket intakes being made. Hopefully that will start happenning with the trucks soon besides just exhaust upgrades and intakes along with what Full-Race is doing of course.

Default Aeroforce Gauge Added to FR Store

Just saw this new addition to the store, was waiting to see when Geoff and the guys would pick a particular gauge to stand behind with these trucks.

I'll be a SOB! This is too funny! When I was e-mailing Geoff with questions during my IC order, we got on the subject of gauges. I was showing off my AeroForce and how impressed I am with the parameters that I can monitor in such a small package! Apparently they are too!

summit Racing. It is a carbon fiber simulated plastic. I screwed it to a base that I made out of a piece of aluminum, then I used automotive double faced tape and stuck it to the dash. I did not want to put holes in my dash! Another pic! Oops that is the original Colbalt mechanical gauge that I had in there, but you get he idea!

Wait!! Will that aero guage fit the roush vent pod? That would be the cats-?!? ic it did! Would look like it came from the factory if you could find a way to run the cord through the duct to under the steering wheel.

I Think You Underestimate The CultSize Group Following The Vag Community Lol. ComingFrom A Vw ThosE Guys Roll Deeeeeeeep. Hell Sowo IsThis Weekend And The City Of Helen Is Beyond Packed. GoOver To Vwvortex And Go To The Tsi Tfsi Section And Watch The Turn Over And Speed Of The Forum Compared To Here. Ecoboost Is Still NewAnd In It's Infantile Stage. Took The 1.8T A WhileTo Get Traction. ThinkAbout It. Not A Lot Of People, Honestly, TryingTo Go Fast In A F150. They Put This Motor In The Mustang And The Support Would Be On Faster.
