Houston Speed Freaks

Had 3 cars dropped off last night, and all 3 were finished and ready to roll today.
Knocking out this much work in under 24 hours takes a rhythm, but the squad locked in and everything came together perfectly.

Big shoutout to my helpers Tugboat Villarreal Ryan J Aillet Joban Rodriguez for grinding through it with me.

The builds:

Blue Explorer ST:
CVF intercooler
AWR diff brace
Eibach lowering springs
ZFG 93 Tune

Gray Explorer ST (Only 100 miles on the dash):
H&R lowering springs
HSF pinion bushings
Thermal 3” exhaust
Rear subframe lockouts
JXB transmission mount
NGK plugs + 170° t-stat

Focus ST:
CVF intercooler
UPR catch can
AWR rear motor mount
ZFG 93 Tune

A massive shoutout to Adam at ZFG Racing. He was absolutely on point getting the blue Explorer and the Focus dialed in without missing a beat, and both of them are absolutely ripping now. Having a tuner who can turn files around that fast makes a world of difference.

It was a hell of a 24 hours. What are we dropping onto the lift next?

I have to brag on my 10-year-old son, Simon!
He put this entire video edit together himself, and honestly, I think it’s absolutely awesome. The timing on the cuts, the track clips, the music—he completely crushed it.

Seeing things like this reminds me everyday why being a father is hands-down the best thing that has ever happened to me.

To all the dads out there grinding day in and day out, putting in the hours, and doing whatever it takes to provide for your families: I see you. It’s a 24/7 job with no blueprint, but it’s the most rewarding one on the planet. Happy Father’s Day to every single one of you.

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to drop a quick update on the custom ECU covers! Most of the covers are officially out of powder coating and have been shipped out today.

We are only lacking a few remaining covers that didn’t make it into today’s drop. If yours hasn’t shipped yet, it’s because it is finishing up the powder coating process right now. Those final remaining orders will be heading out early next week as soon as they are ready.

Also for all the 25+ guys these do fit your Ecu, however they are slightly short and we are working on an extended version to give yall 100% coverage.

I truly can’t thank everyone enough for the support. We seriously couldn’t do any of this without you guys💪

The best part of the car community is the people it connects you with. I’ve been talking to Andrew Mineo for a couple of years, and today he drove his new Viper over so we could finally meet face-to-face.

No major wrenching on the schedule—just good chatter, checking out the new ride, and tightening up a loose undertray bolt real quick to kill an annoying rattle before he hit the road.

Congrats again on the pickup, man! Great finally meeting you in person. Safe travels back to Florida!💪

Bittersweet day today!

We’re on the way to go pick up the wife’s new vehicle, but it’s definitely tough saying goodbye to the ‘18 Raptor.
It has treated us so incredibly well over the years and given us some awesome memories.

Snapped one last picture of it before it goes—we actually stripped the wrap off, so she’s back to her original look for the trade-in!

Out with the old, in with the new. Stay tuned to see what’s taking its place in the driveway!
