Shoot...I was hoping they would have a "track app" where you could see the boost and A/F ratio... All of that info must be available to from the PCM, it just needs to be routed to a display.No boost gauge, seat of the pants feel is very good, even off the line w/o boost. Yes on the paddle shifters, the XSport is the only Explorer that comes with them and I like them a lot, especially when going in for the quick pass, just hit the down shift paddle and you're in the next lower gear, no waiting for the trans to kick down by itself; they're also convenient for engine compression braking.
I'm going in next week for some dyno pulls to get base numbers, the Magnaflow cat-back exhaust will be installed the first week of March.
I'll be interested to see what you think of the exhaust! I haven't heard too many V6 systems that I like.
How is the stock exhaust note? Is there any? Or did they keep it quiet and refined?
Are the paddle shifters quick to react? It used to be a common complaint a few years ago that you would bump the paddle and there was a delay. I'm hoping that has been addressed by now!
Can't wait to see your dyno results!
