Anyways, I had a couple of questions I haven't been able to find great answers to and didn't want to create lots of threads.
Is it possible to turn off the easy entry/exit? The seat bolsters go out, but when getting back in they never go back to the same position. I'm pretty lean and need them all the way in, and it takes a while to do that adjustment.
After an ECU tune, what's the next best mod, downpipes or intake? What kind of gains are expected? Seems like it may not be worth it.  Everything I've found is tune and downpipes. I'm curious how much downpipes add to a tune.
Should the footwells have color led lighting? Mine are just white, but the display shows them being the set color and somewhere else I read that they are supposed to be.
Are there any good tires for the 20 inch wheels (drag radials or r compound) that will hook up well off the line with a tune? I saw someone broke into the 9 second 1/4 mile range with a tune, downpipes and drag radials. |
Congrats!

Is it Live Cockpit (2020) or a 2019? Linking your driver profile to your key fob (or selecting it manually) should restore the seating position once you've plugged the seat-belt in but, having said that, I occasionally need to repeatedly press and hold seat position 1 to restore everything. Doing so before you're in the car restores everything in a single push.

JB4 only on 92 pump yielded 715 awhp and 740 Ft Ibs of aw-torque on a Mustang dyno.

The ambient color choices are typically grouped as one single color or a combo of that color + white. Perhaps you've got the white setting. I'll check a bit later but I think my footwells are blue albeit not quite as vivid as the bands of color around the dash.

With my current setup, I'm expecting this to be a 10.3 or better car on race gas. As it stands, though, I've upgraded to Michelin PS4s @295/30/20 rear and 285/30/20 front and I have no traction issues on even crap surfaces. I've not seen an F90 in the 9s yet, hmmm, at least I don't think--do you have a link?
