  1. I'm down. See if I can bring a few noobie friends as well along. :-)

    Serenity

    Loved the show and movie. Liked the show well enough I bought both seasons on dvd and I hardly ever buy dvd's. Then again, I did buy all the new Doctor Who series on dvd too... lol
  3. Good to see ya'all today! Had a decent turnout I thought for the time of year. And you guys riding the bikes in, I got cold just thinking about it! lol
  4. That's what he was told basically from what he said at the few dealerships he applied for but I told him just to keep applying at various places and will get in somewhere sooner or later, just takes persistence. This is what he wants to do long term and learn from the ground up. Appreciate the insight so far, gave his contact info to those who asked. Thanks CR!
  5. Have a good friend looking for a entry level wrenching job somewhere in Columbus. Kid is good with his hands ( 20 or 21 years old ) and but no certs that I am aware of yet although he is working on it as he's in school for automative repair. He can do just about all entry level stuff and looking for steady work. He's been to NTB and Goodyear as I told him to be knocking on doors and applying places but figured I'd check to see if CR has any suggestions as well where he could go. Thanks!
  6. I did 14.85 at 93 at trails the last night of the test and tune in 2012 in bone stock form. Could have been better but first time brake boost launching in 4x4 so learning the timing of it as I go. We see in 2013!
  7. Could be the camera, I was just using my iPhone for it. I dont notice the drone at all but then again, I'm used to the Mustang where the idle alone can set off car alarms. All else is quiet compared to that thing... lol
  8. Yep, its not for everybody. I did test drive the 5.0 v8 version when I was deciding between the two and I liked it a lot. Just liked the low rpms torque of the ecoboost better. And the exhaust tone is different but I like it. Stock exhaust though is quiet, super quiet so for some, leaving it stock works too. I can just never leave any vehicle stock for long lol
  9. Here is a few videos showing the new exhaust on my truck... Stainless Works offroad downpipe to S tube muffler catback. LOTS of turbo whistle! Personally, I love it! It has a great tone at startup, idle, under acceleration ( both light, medium and WOT ) yet doesn't have any drone at cruising rpms and nice and quiet inside the truck. Hard to get a good tone out of the V6 in this truck but I think SW hit the ball out of the park with this one. Not for everybody but I love it. :-) Start up, idle and rev Light acceleration In cab Couple pics of the truck getting the exhaust installed at Stainless Works... http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f216/sogwap55/F-150%20Ecoboost/ecoboost-on-lift-at-stainlessworks-1.jpg http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f216/sogwap55/F-150%20Ecoboost/ecoboost-on-lift-at-stainlessworks-2.jpg
  10. I used uprinting.com and got 5,000 my last batch. Not super fancy but decent quality and print and easy to work with.

    Thanks IPS!

    Yes it is! Comfortable DD, nice and docile when want but can light up the tires at will as well. :-) And dont have to worry about spilling my coffee every time it shifts like the Mustang. lol
  12. Got a used, unlocked SCT SF3 3015 tuner for Fords, has preloaded tunes for just about all 96 on up Mustangs, F150 and most F250 ( 7.3, 6.0 and 6.7 but not the 6.4 ) and can hold three custom tunes as well. $270 is price and price is firm.

    Thanks IPS!

    Just wanted to give a quick thanks to the guys at IPS! Been there several times over past few months and always taken care of me first class. Fixed a issue with the Mustang in the fall and been going there to get some dyno pulls done for the F150 as I slowly modify it. Just wanted to say appreciate it! Got my Stainless Works downpipe and catback on the truck now so I'll be back soon for another round of dyno pulls! :-) Getting new step bars put on... http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f216/sogwap55/F-150%20Ecoboost/_MG_7320.jpg Stocker intercooler and new Wagner Tuning intercooler... http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f216/sogwap55/F-150%20Ecoboost/_MG_7301.jpg Last dyno sheet at IPS... http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f216/sogwap55/F-150%20Ecoboost/image.jpg
  14. Ive had zero issues with my 12 Ecoboost.
  15. Just got back from it, quite the turnout!
  16. Sounds good! Looks to be nice so I'll bring out the Mustang. Been so frickin busy haven't even had time to drive/play with it in weeks!
  17. Up for sale is a used JLT CAI for 05-09 Mustang GT and a unlocked SCT SF3 3015 Ford tuner.

Let me know any questions, thanks! http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f216/sogwap55/jlt.jpg http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f216/sogwap55/Tuners%20Pics/1-2.jpg
