As of today Ford Racing is now listing the Ford tune available for the 2025 EcoBoost. I will be calling my dealer tomorrow to get mine scheduled, hoping they can do it this week. MUSTANG ECOBOOST PERFORMANCE CALIBRATION Link: https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-9603-M4D Enhance the...

I did this swap in my car, with a GT premium wheel rather than DH. I can tell you the software changes have nothing to do with whether the paddles function in regular drive mode, they are plug-and-play for drive mode, so if they aren't working there you have a hardware issue of some kind. I...

In my dreams they would build a highland green "Bullitt" like the original movie cars: stuff a V8 under the hood with a four-speed toploader behind it, 4.11 gears, and every other part would be puny undersized stuff. Traction? Zero. Braking? Good luck. Turning? Forget about it. Body roll? Get...

Awesome, thanks for that info. I watched some videos on swapping the shift knob and saw that the bezel pops out easily, so I just need to order one. In regular drive, upshifting is very responsive, while downshifting seems more slightly delayed, I assume because the computer is making sure...

I had some time last night so I installed the paddle shifter wheel I picked up for the car recently and I now have paddle shifting while in Drive. When I get the motivation I will get into ForScan and enable full manual mode in the “M” position and swap out the shift indicator bezel to the...

Thanks. I have been curious about ceramics but haven’t tried any so far. I have been using Lucas Oil speed wax on it which as you can see does give it a really beautiful shine. I don’t think it offers much in the way of protection but it is quick and easy to apply.

I should have snapped a pic of my car the other day after I drove in our first snow of the year. The dried salt/road scum was so thick on it afterwards that my car was grey and it took two washes and some additional hand cleaning to get it clean. I daily drove my S197 through five winters and I...

Yeah no codes or issues, plug and play. You are correct that the clockspring dictates heated steering wheel or not, that is a separate plug outside of the wheel’s main harness. I assume that adaptive cruise is just enabled in software if you have the buttons, since the harness is the same, but I...

I just finished up this install on my EcoBoost. Using an OEM takeoff paddle shift wheel from eBay, I followed the M-3600-M instructions linked above to swap over the switches and front bezel from my original wheel to the paddle wheel (my car does not have adaptive cruise and the wheel I bought...

Jokes aside, I would follow up with the vendor who sold the flame kit. If it is supposed to be compatible with this car and motor, they should be on the hook for it to work. If they say it’s not compatible, then I would have it removed. There is too much computer involved in these cars and we’re...

It’s currently in paint jail waiting on a new paint job but I took this when my kiddo helped me wash it before it went away for a while. I painted it myself when I restored it and it looks fine from a distance but not really good enough up close.

You’ll probably get to it before I decide to take the plunge. Interested to hear how it goes. I am also thinking if I end up doing it that I might get the Mishi radiator too at the same time. I have not had my car through the summer time here yet but with summer temps plus running A/C all the...

Sadly that’s only for the 2024. Ford Performance apparently said end of this year, early next year for the 2025 version. It’s interesting they are doing it that way considering 3rd party tuners are treating the 24 and 25 the same. Maybe Ford knows something they don’t. I am just hoping it is the...

It was an OEM takeoff, like new, from eBay, so it was already painted shadow black and it fits and looks factory. I installed it myself, I just followed installation videos for other spoilers such as RTR to understand the process. The only challenging things about it were getting the original...

Good point! Hmmm... 🤔 I will have to see about that.

Last month I bought my new 2025 Ecoboost Nite Pony in Shadow Black and I've been busy tinkering with it. I have a few other things in mind but now that it is getting cold I won't be doing much until Spring. Here it is as it stands at the moment. Since picking it up, I've had the windows tinted...

I am interested to hear how the intercooler goes. It looks like getting the bumper off is a pain and the Mishimoto install video conveniently ignores that part. Did you get the kit that includes Mishimoto's pipes or just the intercooler by itself? It seemed like a lot of extra expense for some...

The EPA's 2024 report on emissions and fuel economy is here if you really want to get into the data: https://nepis.epa.gov/Exe/ZyPDF.cgi?Dockey=P101CUU6.pdf The long and short of it is that the Big 3 here in the US are behind all the other major auto manufacturers in the world when it comes to...

Bolt pattern is the same, so they will bolt on, and the 20 inch diameter basically guarantees no brake clearance issues, and the widths are less than what others have successfully installed, so yes most likely. I am not sure what their offset/backspacing specs are, which will tell you whether...
