Got my tune in the mail from Marty today. Shift points may need a little adjustment, but otherwise it feels like the car lost 200lb or something

Good to hear. I may end up throwing my zip tube/80mm MAF/ Airbox on as well, since it's taking up room in my garage, and see how well it runs (or how far I can push the stock computer).
Keep it up.

Ball joint stripped, so I hired a mobile mechanic service to come out and finish the job while I was at work. They managed to break one strut in disassembly and punch a control arm bolt far enough in to cut halfway through the spring on the other side, while cutting through the bad ball joint with a sawzall. Tried to fix it myself, but I couldn’t figure out how to do the spring with the bolt lodged in it so I could remove that arm. Ended up calling the mobile guy everyone in my store uses. He started work today, but it won’t be done until Wednesday or so since he has some other customers he had lined up already while working on mine. Went that route instead of the dealer cause it’s a lot cheaper still2010 Mercury Grand Marquis LS “The Douche” - 70mm throttle body, P71 airbox, 21mm rear sway bay, dual exhaust, Dodge rims, 89K and counting. 4/2018-

It’s even made worse when there’s larger compacts than it, that not only get more MPG on Regular, but also are more practical and usually cost less.Originally posted by sxcpotatoes View Post
