New parts!!! What to expect after install?

[Hesh]

Hey Guys, I got bit.


Bit by the speed bug to make some more power in my Flex.


I have a Programmer and tunes ordered from Torrie, Mdesign CAI, colder plugs, 170* thermostat, 3 bar Map coming.

What can I expect numbers-wise, or time-wise from your experiences on the dyno or track?

I'm also contemplating my next mod, but Im torn. I feel like my potential choke point could be the factory exhaust, but yet I havent heard a single Ecoboost aftermarket exhaust Ive liked, in the Flex, Taurus, etc. I was also contemplating a Snow Performance Meth Injection kit as an alternate option.

Any other "NEXT-UP" modifications you'd suggest to consider as my next step?

Downpipes would be the next step... IMHO...

Welcome, Hesh!  SBS is right on point   Have you got the maintenance up to date yet?  Spark plugs, all fluids, intercooler/turbo piping checks, etc.?

Do introduce yourself and your Flex here

What your DA?  Do you have access to 93 octane fuel?

Thanks for the warm welcome! All my maintenance, fluids & piping is covered and in check. One step colder NGK spark plugs are on their way (as mentioned above). Worth mentioning, I suppose, is that Ive also upgraded my front rotors and pads to the Powerstop 1-Click Brake Kit (Slotted and Drilled w/ CF Ceramic pads), with plans to do the +13 or Police Interceptor upgrade once either my fronts or rears wear out.

Forgive me - what does DA stand for?

Density Altitude.  A measurement that allows you to standardize track times based on altitude/air pressure,  temperature,  and humidity/dew point. Commonly used in aviation.

Ah, gotcha.

The density altitude from what I can find is 1674.33 ft at the track (about 45mins out of town) and 1588.53 ft in town.

FWIW, if it applies, track elevation is  +744 ft and in town is +757

Forecasted data also available.

Anyone else with any insight into HP predictions, or track time guesstimates?
