bought it at Koons and its 30 minutes from me, whereas Apple is 1:15 from me.Brandon302 said:Why Koons Ford, I thought Apple had a better service department.
I assume you are under the generally accepted understanding that the '13 GT's extra 8hp was because of no squirters? if so, it may be rumor. There has been some discussion on the various forums about this and every person who has personally seen the inside of a '13 GT engine has found squirters (including MMR, who sees a lot of engines). I searched for any confirmation that Ford indeed states they were eliminated and found nothing. The closest was an intention to eliminate them (but they don't state the extra hp is because of eliminating them), but possibly the parts bin was chock full of machined blocks and squirters, so they put them in until they ran out?ArizonaGT said:That must be the '13 block you got. I'm assuming you got the proper head changing kit with the 11mm bolts (or studs, if you went that route).
I'm wondering if the various fitment issues are PN conflicts between 11/12 parts and 13 parts. Only speculating at this point.
interesting. well, I suppose the smallest things can upset the balance with 1 pulse every 0.0002 seconds!ArizonaGT said:That 1mm difference in the CJ Pulse Ring allows the CPS to pick up the gap at high RPM, I guess on the stock Pulse Ring, the magnet has a tough time detecting that region above 7800 RPM.
yes, I have bama. I got mine before they offered the warranty, but they only warranty against the #8 failure anyhow, which was not my issue. I know there are better tunes than ANY canned tune, but bama has served me well as I have gotten free retunes for everything from headers, to boss intake on-then off-then on-then off, to tire diameter changes. I will likely make the trek up to philly to have them do a dyno tune on it, just so I can keep my free retunes.Justin said:nice build you have going there.
I saw you said you have a bama tune previously...thought there tunes came with an engine warranty.
anyways I would give AED a ring and get a tune from Shaun his tunes are awesome. Forceofwill has had both tunes bama and AED in his 12 GT and he can tell you night and day difference especially on the lopey idle tunes.
AED does free updates as well so long as its not a power adder. I have gotten a few updates from him already great service and turn around.pufferfish said:yes, I have bama.

I think it was a MMFF or 5.0 article where they said the squirters were deleted to reduce windage and along with some tweaks to the tuning they gained the 8hp.ArizonaGT said:Dunno about the squirters increasing/decreasing any power. I'd be the 8hp gain for '13 was largely marketing only.
FWIW if this is an open discussion: I would definitely recommend AED for tuning; get your base tune from them, then get some good datalogs and let them dial it in.
VERY INTERESTING! I have heard really good things about Shaun, but with my on again, off again relationship with the boss intake (I still believe I might be going GT intake on top of this BOSS engine), I figured I better stick with a free retune place. I didn't know AED offered this. I will have to make a call when everything is up and running.Justin said:AED does free updates as well so long as its not a power adder.

I knew I read it in a printed article somewhere, but couldn't find it when the discussion came up on corral.net. but, it sounds like the plan to eliminate them was too late for the 2013 model year to make a clean break. I wonder if any 13's actually got the deletes? FWIW, I just got the 2013 FRPP catalog and nowhere is this new non-squirter block listed. its part number: M-6010-M504VAJustin said:I think it was a MMFF or 5.0 article where they said the squirters were deleted to reduce windage and along with some tweaks to the tuning they gained the 8hp.
