Anyone else into cars?? **pic heavy!*

Nothing Spectacular but I just bought this. 2011 F-150 FX2.

It has the 3.5L Twin Turbo "ecoBoost" engine which I have allot of plans for...

I've read some stuff online where people are getting 450+ hp out of this ecoBoost with some very inexpensive and easy mods... Simple stuff like larger exhaust, intercooler and CAI so I'm gonna do some tinkering with it.

It is currently 385hp and 420 ft lbs of torque. (from a 6 cylinder!!!!)
Fords Dyno testing shows an impressive and unusual power curve for this engine. This kind of curve is usually only found in diesel engines.
What is so impressive is the fact that it peaks at 1500 to 1800 rpm and holds those numbers through out the rpm range up until 5k when it begins to fall off. It literally pins you in the seat under moderate throttle and with traction control off, it just spins all the way through 3rd gear...
It's a very quick stock truck.

My ride when I'm not on the bike is a Mazdaspeed 3. It's the first car I've had that I haven't really done a lot to and I blame that on the Fury. It came stock with 263hp and 280ft-lb torque.


My ride before I got the Speed 3 last year was my 10 year old VW GTi. I bought it with 4 miles on it, drove it like I stole it, put over 200k miles on her, and she's still going. It's got all the bolt ons and is chipped and tuned to run race gas.


This is the mountain ride, an International Scout. The cage is lime green. For some reason it shows up yellow.



My first new car I got my senior year in high school, '97 Cavalier Z24. This was back in my mini truckin days and I turned it into my show car after I graduated. The car is completely shaved, bagged, roof cut out for a sliding rag top, custom interior and paint. It's still in the family but definitely was in better shape when I had it.
