srt hellcat is pretty much totally different other than the displacement size it has direct injection and port injection bigger exhaust manifolds and bigger turbos and the 10-speed transmission is awesome keeps it right into Power Band all the time
I have owned a 2018 STX 35 L for 2 weeks now. It's pretty darn fast. Way faster than any car I have owned. Besides speeding tickets, what potential negative impacts can there be on the engine or drivetrain from such an increase in hp?
socal33 haven't had any issues other than a few software updates we haven't broken anything we've been running them pretty hard getting ready to do 18 EcoBoost Platinum 4.56 gears tuning exhaust 37 inch tires
Yeah. I've emailed Josh a data log and also talked to him on the phone and no response whatsoever. I had no issues with the tunes on my 2015, but this 2017 tune setup hasn't worked out. The performance tune is really bad. Gear choice is really indecisive even in normal mode. At specific speeds, it'll constantly switch between 2 gears. Very annoying. I'll try contacting him again for some resolution. Been dealing with it since last October.
Chris Hubatsek are you calling him or emailing him? I ask because all my emails were going to his junk folder and resolved it after calling and leaving a message. After that he responds to me usually within 2 days.
Any issues with it running rich or excessively hard downshifts? I bought some tunes from them that fail in those areas as well as being really indecisive on what gear it wants to be in in sport mode. Tried to get them to address these issues and they wont respond to me.
Chris Hubatsek yes I do a lot of R&D for them they've had quite a few updates the latest one with the hybrid skip shift works the best for everyday driving the one I had that shifted all 10 gears but shift really hard 2nd at really low throttle usually happens the Adaptive learn on these computers somehow change things I usually don't use sport mode especially with the hot tune because it's already set up ask for Josh he should be able to email you an update
What a gorgeous truck. That’s the exact color and model I want my next F150 to be.
How’s the 10 speed held up after a period of time with the tune?
The transmission does great just had a few revisions from Ford and put the tune back on it
What are your upgrades and who tuned it
92mustang408w just a three and a half inch exhaust and the Five Star Tuning other than that it's stock
CBE or turboback?
What's that MPG like now?
I would guess the same if you stay out of the boost. Seems like everyone says that when modifying their EcoBoost engines
are there any major engine differences from the 2016 to the 2017 model 3.5ecoboost?

Totally different, just the displacement is the same. Little more HP, Lot more Torque.
