Default New ecoboost picked up at 1pm.....tune ordered 4 hours prior

LOL,

I am so glad to be back. Dropped off my 13' Ram and picked up my 13' FX4 SCrew ecoboost with appearance package just a couple hours ago.

Ordered my intake and tune from 5* and I expect it soon if his service is like it was last time I dealt with them. I got the 93 Perf, 93PT and 87 PT tune from Mike. Had the economy tune last time and never used it.

Already ordered a bed cover and front window tint.

Probably going to do a mid-pipe shortly as soon as some other items from my Ram sells. Thinking O/R mid pipe and stock cat back. Also looking at the AFE pipe upgrades but not seeing a lot about them on the forum.

Ordered the AFE2 intake, looks nice and sounds like it helps spool time.

Can't wait to get this truck back into the 4's 0-60mph like my previous ride.

w00t w00t

Very nice ride. Sounds like that ram didn't make much of an impression

Got distracted by a shiny new object. I'm back though, where I belong. Been driving Ford for 16 years before my 7 month hiatus, feels right to be back.

In all fairness the Ram was a nice truck. The ride quality was nice (better since I being honest) and the interior was very nice (dare I say better than the F150's?), but the power, build quality of the tranmission and engine (you can't add very much power to the all mighty Hemi before having to add serious supporting mods.....transmission.......forget about it). I liked the looks.


What I didn't like was the Torque management. For a decent size V8 it was a DOG off the line. I had a 2800 stall, a Vararam intake, a 87mm ported thorttle body and a Diablo Trinity ordered for it hoping this would allow me to keep it.......Ford announced their recent incentives..........end of story

Ahh i see. I agree in the ride part. And on the hemi yeah, its decent but exaggerated. Even the challengers it aint nothing to shake a stick at these days. I hope you enjoy your new ford
