Maybe it's the fact the cars weren't broken in properly? They say that break in is first 5k or so...

I had the tune loaded, and mine at the track, on Day 2. I think it's more luck of the draw than anything else. Ford puts together a few hundred of these things a day, shit happens. Not nearly as much as it used to, but it still happens. That's why we get warranties.

An engine is an engine. They all have gaskets, rings, bearings, etc. How do you think guys with race cars break their engines in? they have no way of putting 5k miles on it. Some engines wont even last 500 miles before the rods need replacing. I think its more a shitty luck of the draw. IMO

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

If they knew they didn't have a clue of a clue that would be one thing. It's amazing some of those guys even know how to turn the key on their cars.

So has anyone taken a close look at the new injectors to see if one is stuck?
