I've been keeping an eye on you and waiting for that thread that starts with the brick blew up ,but it seems to be pretty bullet proof. I may have to look into it. I agree with the fact that it's very fun to make unexpected cars(or bricks) put a beat down on ones that are expected to be fast.

I have had MORE fun building and racing my should be high 12 second Escalade ESV compared to my low 12 second Camaro.

I agree with this. In 2003 we built a 6,100 lb Escalade on 24's with 5 TV's full of stereo equipment that ran 12.88 @ 107.... no one ever suspected it to be that quick.

We've tuned over 350 Ecoboost SHO/Flex vehicles with zero failures of any kind and most SHO's run low 14's stock and low 13's/high 12's tune only. Our car went 12.69 with Corsa and our tune, another customer goes 12.4 with Corsa, our tune, and CAI, another with these mods and meth goes 12.13. We tuned the car with less than 200 miles and it has 40,000 now with no issues.

As for trucks, we've tuned nearly 200 in less than 2 months.

We buy our own cars to test and test them hard. We have a SHO, Flex, and F150 and no issues at all.

Thanks!!!

Never really thought about what it must look like pulling behind a FLEX and having the camera point backwards!!! LOL!

The Trailblazers were running GoPros also... they posted that:

Black truck-AWD- Tune, Intake, Efans, Yank 3200 Converter
Red truck-RWD- Tune, Intake

So I went out to Tulsa for the Mid America Ford & Team Shelby Nationals... Was about 1/2 second off due to the heat and humidity!! UGH!! Knew that heading out there, but decided it would be fun to show off the Flex a bit! Made some 13.4 and 13.5 passes... Needless to say, i got questions and comments all day long about the Flex! Was a hoot!

Found this video today!



I actually lifted on the first pass so not to break out... The yellow Mustang had full roll cage, slicks, etc. and had the SAME EXACT dial-in as me so I was bit intimidated, knowing I had to cut a good light... got to aggressive and RED LIGHTED! D'oah! And for the record the Yellow Mustang had a PERFECT R/T! So i'm thinking even if I hadn't turned on the RED bulb i was going down... LOL! Still had a blast!

Thanks! Also beat a C5 Vette, but we were in the wrong lanes for the GoPro! ARGH!! Guess I need to pick up another camera! LOL!!

Flex ran really strong Saturday... made a simple little change with the tune... wondering if I found a sweet spot!

Is it November yet? LOL

No CVT... The Flex EcoBoost uses the 6F-55, which is a beefed up 6F-50:
