i was wondering what kind of cost efficient ways there are to maximize the power. it has dual exhaust but other than that nothing has been done. chips are very expensive so i would like to avoid them if possible. if anyone has any experience or tips it would be a lot of help. thanks boys

Check the sponsors on the left side of the site. Wheatley or Black bear are awesome tuners. Plan on spending 200-250 bucks, probably the best spent first real mod.

If you think tunes are expensive, you better stop right there. Your exhaust I'd bet cost more than the average tune. Tunes range between $150-$500 and are worth every penny. Most bang for the buck if you ask me.

 

Cam, Higher stall, and lower gears will get you moving quite fast, but they all would require a tune anyways.

ya thats probably true actually haha. and i was lookin at a local dealer here and they were more up around $800. ordering online might be the way to go.

 

i also have noticed that my brakes aren't very aggressive. they seem kinda soft. as anyone else noticed this? and what are some strong brakes thatll get me stopped in a hurry?

Edmonton, Alberta Canada here as well! Anyone know of a good tuner in Edmonton. I'm looking to do my exhaust and there are quit a few different opinions floating around some say don't go with headers and dual , instead install dual high flow cats and a good muffler. Others say twin it all. I just want the best bang for the buck.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
