    Wow...not a good question to ask right now. Im still on E30 in the logging/tuning stage. This thing makes 25psi almost instantly. Can't keep my foot out of the boost. Adam Brunson does have me set up with three map slots of tunes. I can use my cruise control buttons to switch between them. I put it in the lowest power setting when I was on the 93 octane tune and saw 35mpg on the highway. That was a very unsatisfying two minutes.

    No doubt!!!

    I maybe get somewhere around 10 MPG in the Cobra. It may go back on 93 soon. Be so much more fun just hoping in and driving it not having to deal with chasing E around.

    ^^^ That's why I have not gone that route. It's like having a pissed off pitbull on a short leash. Great stuff but no driving range.

    With the low mileage mine racks up lately, I'm thinking about switching to E85 just so I can burn through a full tank of gas in less than a year! I hate fucking with fuel pumps and tanks though. Been putting 5 gallons in at a time lately just to try to keep fresh gas in it.

    Getting faster ... 12.46 at 109 on Friday the 19th. There a group of 5 Coyote/S197 cars there all in the 12.80-13.20 range on street tires. They were pretty interested to see why that quiet car was quick.

    I sent the logs of my runs to my tuner. He sent back a new tune. Apparently something during the burnout was pissing off the knock sensor. He told me it was pulling 4 degrees of timing during the run. He changed something and said it should be better now. He also told me I better get a one piece driveshaft before I rip the two piece one out of the body.

    4 degrees of timing will pick up a good bit more Id say. Maybe gain another tenth or so. That's moving pretty good!

    I am going to wait a couple more weeks to try again. Need that perfect turbo weather to make a run at the 11's

    Cool. I will more than likely be there. I hot slicks mounted and balanced and I'm going to put the front sway bar delete on it too. Yours is really moving out for an ecoboost.

    She went 11's finally. 11.95 at 115. I really need to find some HOOK! I run the 275 Mickey ET street R drag radials and can not launch at anything over 2k on the 2 step without spinning. I feel like there is a ton more ET in this thing if I could leave 3500 off the transbrake & 2 step. I am pretty happy anyway since it just has a few bolt-ons and a hot tune. The motor and turbo are still factory stock.

    Car is running good! You going to try a slick and see if that helps?

    Yes, I think so. I started a couple conversations on the "lets break some ecoboost" facebook groups. The recommended the Hoosier 28x10-17 ones. My current tires are a bit shorter than that so I am wondering how that will affect it.

    My plan is to get the steeda stop the hop kit (or something similiar) . Looks like bmr makes the best drag springs for S550's. I don't have a good plan on what shocks to run yet. Seems like Viking is popular but they are $$$$.

    Ill be watching to get as much as I can used. I'm currently right at $2000 in mods/tuning to get it into the 11's. All this new technology stuff just blows me away.

    You running the 275/40/17 et street r? If so, that's a short tire with little sidewall. I think the 305/45/17 et street r will make a big difference. I happen to have a real nice set for sale. Pm me if interested.

    yep, that is the tire I have. Im running stock 95 GT wheels. I do not think they are wide enough for that tire. I am going to need new wheels probably either way.
