ford performance tune

[Mr Now]

Well said, unpopular opinion: a 4 cylinder does not belong in a Mustang, they made it to make money out of those who can't afford the proper V8 and still want to be in a Mustang body.

“ Can’t afford a v8” false but thx for trying to sh@t on fellow Mustang owners

Not the intention to annoy others, but I never saw the point of buying a muscle car with a 4-cyl, What's a single logical reason to go for Ecoboost instead of GT that is not cost related (car price / gas / maintenance)

Well, now we have two trolls who like to shit on other peoples cars.

Was seriously considering a corvette instead of the mustang. Great bang for the buck.

30 geand saved just goes to the cars destination, condo by the sea...

There are a few possible reasons, so in no particular order, and some of these might be tongue-in-cheek.

- it's a better sports car and a poorer muscle car
- you're from a different culture where you aren't used to V8s burbling past
- you like annoying GT owners
- 480hp (486hp, 500hp) is way more intimidating than 315hp
- don't want the cool GT and want the uncool EcoBoost
- all your friends have iPhone and you have Android
- you like the sound of a turbocharger spooling up
- your HOA will fine you for a loud exhaust
- you don't like Coyote ticking sounds
- feels good (performant) enough
- you prefer the less aggressive look
- you value your license more than going fast
- lower fuel consumption translating into longer range for road trips

Yeah as expected, not a single proper reason. Also, am not dissing boosted rides, i do love 4-cyl turbo cars and owned a lovely WRX STI for years that's a beast. But that's where 4-cyl belong, not inside a muscle car.

Anyway, to each his own view, we're in 2026, hopefully less people get offended by others expressing opinions.

Hopefully you learn proper time and place when to respond. You’re responding in a thread for ecoboosts, specifically talking about ecoboost tuning options like ENTHUSIASTS.
Just read and scroll dude, you don’t have to express your terrible opinions on every post you see.

Did the original secretary’s car exhibit Schwarzenegger style?

Don't act innocent and play the offended card dude. You came to an eco thread and trashed the car. You've basically derailed the thread and are doubling down on the trolling. There is no reason to keep posting and blaming other people for their reactions to your trolling.

i would honestly ban anyone who is toxic in any way. They can go to steeda’s toxic facebook group

Got me thinking of the GT now. I like the clean looking hood on the ecoboost. The GT hood actually help with cooling? Guessing its not ram air induction with that thing.

Turbo sound.......... We get that with our cars? I don't hear even a hint of it with my car. Noise cancelling speakers in car? The turbo keep going through the gears in my car, so loud blow-off may not be needed as much. But, would like to hear some whine when its winding up good.

The turbocharger whistles when building or reducing boost - it's more obvious when gently building power and once you're heard it, it's easy to hear it again, at least in my experience.

Good point rusted rotors-I have no idea when the turbo is doing its thing

Yes, absolutely.

Lol. Its for cooling and aero. The GT has ram air in the grille. Goes right into the dual airboxes.

Tune came in. Dropping off car tomorrow.
