+1 raptors are an amazing vehicle, and if you think about it, a fully loaded 4x4 f150 Fx4 is 55k anyway, might as well get the 400hp big boy version lol.

From what I have seen the ADS kit with the Kenwood 990HD does have dual climate control as well but I may be wrong about that. That being said the ADS kit is pretty trick IMO with the ability to keep SYNC and you have a slew of performance gauge options to monitor pretty much anything you could want to monitor at the touch of your fingers.
Not to mention that it looks absolutely badass. I would love to swap a Raptor body onto an Ecoboost truck.

The gauges would be cool but at the same time, the coolness would wear off, since most of use dont stare at oil pressure, voltage, A/F ect ect in our street cars lol. Unless you are in a serious N/A build or FI car, one needn't monitor so many things all the time lol.
Plus....factory nav actually increases the value of the car because its a factory option, which is a plus.

Well, a large majority of production cars are produced the previous calender year, thats why the 1964 1/2 mustang was called the "1/2", cause it debuted April 17th 1964, rather than the fall of 1963.
Accuracy is not over rated lol.
Ford was like SURPRISE we just created a car that will sell more than all you other ****ers will combined....

JLT is shipping me a new, "improved" elbow fitting. We'll see.
Loaded the AED tune and datalogged. Holy crap. This thing pulls...and pulls...and pulls. It's the Energizer bunny of tunes. It just doesn't stop.
On my way to datalog, I got to a stoplight uptown. Ahead of me was a early 2nd gen Camaro (70-73) that was camming hard. He kept blipping the throttle so I thought he wanted to run but he didn't bite. Got to the next light, which turns into a 4 lane and has a long straight after the light. He decided he wanted to play once we got through the light and it turned into a 4 lane highway, caught me off guard but I dropped to second and pulled easily on him, flew by him at ~120 and the look on his face was priceless. It was like "what.....the.....F***".

After you texted me i decided to go on a drive lol. Road still mostly warm, air cool, nice driving conditions.
I feel you on the pull pull pull. I feel like the longer its tuned the more the car likes it lol.
I pulled out of my subdivision, rolled on the throttle smooth in 2nd and broke loose- an event that i cant remember happening prior unless the road was very very cold...or damp lol. Shes makin torque now, my torco should be here tomorrow to see if the fuel in my tank is whats causing the car to pull timing a bit up top (nothing major), if so, ill go back to the station by my house.
I have a theory on ethanol percentage variances effecting octane and fuel mileage inversely....seems that the gas i was using before had more accurately "93" octane, but the fuel thats making the knock sensor pull 2-4 degrees of timing actually nets better mileage (in my camry at least).
I wish there was some way i could test for the amount of ethanol in gas....maybe they make a kit....

It's simple. Take a fuel sample in a clear bottle, roughly less than half full. Mark the bottle where the fuel is. Then add an equal amount of water. Cap it off, then shake vigorously. Let it settle. The water will settle to the bottom with the ethanol, and the fuel will go to the top. Where you had your line will tell you how much ethanol is in the fuel.

**** I hate aftermarket systems, they never look right and they are a lot less reliable than the factory units. I know you can obviously get better sound out of them but it's at a price.

I think my next car will have factory nav. The raxiom one I have doesn't fit right, the map's nav system takes the strangest routes. I'm almost afraid to use it on trips to unknown destinations. I've used the nav (just for fun) around town and it takes the most bizarre and inefficient streets. :facepalm:
