But I get what your saying. I'll see if I can find a performance place that knows more about what I want to do.


cool thx this helps me out alot
You can do it yourself, but i suggest getting a friend to help with jacking the car up at least. Kind of nerve racking getting the car up over a foot off the ground, at one point my jackstands started tipping. If you are getting a tune then you should not see a CEL.

Its under warranty so I had ford check it also since this was only my 2nd time at this perf shop, ford said all was very well done, for free of course.
