2011 Flex Ecoboost
Went out to SIR in Tucson for some runs, 5400' DA.
First pass 12.4@109 - upgraded turbos, aux fuel system and 50/50 E85/91 octane. Second pass turned on the nitrous and ran 12.3@113.
Better air puts me in the 11's!
Remember this is the same motor you guys have in the Explorer Sport Ecoboost V6.

You've got that flex moving. Lower DA and some cooler temps and you should easily be there. How is your traction, wasn't a bad 60' for street tires. are you having to peddle it much through 1st and 2nd?
 






Why only a tenth of a second better on the nitrous?

I'm going to be heading to SIR in the fall.

That was on slicks, I couldn't build boost without the brakes releasing

I think we're having some shifting issues, I need to get some logs on the slicks to see what's up. I should have gone at least .5 faster.
 






Slicks and only a 1.9 60'. I know these (flex/explorer) are heavy, but was hoping the AWD could get something better then that even just on street tires
 






I couldn't load up the converter, it kept breaking loose, brakes couldn't hold it.
A new converter is on it's way, I'll install it with my stage 3 turbos at the same time.
