- I drove my 2016 Ford Focus ST up to Tuba City, Arizona one day. The drone footage I got was amazing and I also talk about the one downside of the ford Performance Calibration. I hope this helps and enjoy the video!

Awesome drone footage at 6:38 :)
What drone you got?
Gjeebs can you consider buying a gtr with your price range it’s possible and it’s definitely the best out of your options atm🤣
Hey Gjeebs have you ever received DTC Code C073_88 in your fost?
Got the Ford performance calibration installed on Monday and it was definitely worth it! I really relied on your content to help with the decision.
Glad it helped!
Where do you get that?
“If you haven’t heard of it...thats normal” 😂
I read this as he said it,
weird ..
Just got my 2017 ST3, thanks for all the information!
When you are done goofing around with OEM tuning give freak tune in New Hampshire a shout to get hooked up with a solid performing and still safe Calibration
I recently went Stratified E30 and that tune is amazing! Feels more refined at low speed than the factory tune. Very linear pedal feel and it absolutely rips at full throttle! Also seems to run better. I would highly recommend it!
@Critical Cheeze How so?
@Critical Cheeze I'm gonna guess you're a troll because I don't know where you're getting that from. Stratified is one of the most respected tuners for these cars and has very safe tunes. As far as I know, no one has ever blown a motor on a Stratified tune. Maybe one of the 500+ hp cars, but that's not just because of the tune.
@@flyr19 I think he might have just been asking for more information on the tune itself, like maybe some specs.
@@nickstreisel You talking about my response to Critical Cheese's reply two years ago? I can't even see it anymore, so idk what you're going off of. He must've deleted it though, which clues me in to believe he probably was trolling, haha.
Pretty sick view coming over the edge to see the ST. Very cool. Also one hell of a view.
Lmao 8 hours. I drove 800 miles in 11 hours (, bathroom breaks and all.
Also, horse foot-pounds of torque = hoof-pounds of torque
Back in september, you were one of the reasons i got a st, mine is 2013 mk3. Although it was cheaper with a rebuilt title cuz it was rear ended there was no frame damage and was perfect for a fun car while in college. 53k miles and is well worth it :) keep up the videos :)
That’s awesome it worked out and glad you like your ST!
Great drone footage, you must have been going to Tuba City for work. Glad you made lemonade out of the trip. I have the Ford Performance tune, it's perfect for the suburban/freeway driving I do.
That drone footage though, daayyuumm!!
I too love the Ford performance tune! Thanks for the great videos keep up the good work.
Wish I could get a ST
You can, dream big homie!
You can
I am starting to wonder if the Ford Calibration simply opens the throttle 3/4 @ 1/2 throttle input
If you're out of warranty or don't care to "risk" it, I'd highly recommend getting a tune by Raffi from RSWerks. His tune for my ST was amazing and I'm going to have him do my RS when I'm ready. The power delivery and very linear and gives more power the more you push the throttle. I didn't care for how the car was stock with most of the torque coming in at 1/4 throttle.
I understand the complaint with this tune regarding the torque band and how it doesn't feel as progressive throughout the throttle however you're still getting more torque than you would without the tune up until the shift point
@7:47 im more impressed with the backward driving semi. that guy is a savage
Awesome vid as usual ... 👌👌
speaking of that sound symposer, wtth my exhaust , you cant even hear that dang thing you only hear the exhaust, even with the windows up lol
LinuxDaily I would recommend deleting the symposer I did mine and haven’t regretted it except I bought one without a vacuum port which I regret because I am going to need one with my future plans
Nice footage. Thanks for posting.
Was about to purchase the Ford Performance procal but I’m leaning toward Mountune MP275 for carb reasons(California)
That’s a great choice as well
I'm in CA and haven't had any issues with CARB about the Ford tune.
The 2018 tune is finally out so I am considering it! My only concern is how unusable 1st gear is under full throttle, and if the upgraded motor mount is a must? I’m still sad that I couldn’t get that Kona Blue for mine :/
i can say almost 15k miles a motor mount would make everything a lot better
great vid...well done sir
It is the tourque..muscle cars of the late 70's and 80's used the tourque of the v8s to get them out of the hole and use the horsepower what little they had plus the gearing to get them down the 1/4 where they would die out after...because gearing catches you. Because they had big tourque but moderate to low horsepower
I got a good laugh over your contact’s time estimate. I travel a lot as well for work, both regionally and nationally - once in a while internationally, and I’ve learned a few things over the years. Never ask for directions as most people never leave their small circle (at least Americans, which is shame since we have such a huge diverse country), and cut their travel time estimates in half. Also, when traveling long distances after your meeting, don’t let them know exactly where you are going. They’ll tell you you’ll never make it as most Americans appear to be bad at math and of taking what they would assume would be an average speed and dividing into the mileage (they may not even have a conception of what an average speed would be on a trip - almost like Puerto Rico where they use MPH as the speed limit and kilometers as the distance). Last, I’ve stopped asking for restaurant recommendations. It just leads to disappointment if you don’t go, and if the food is bad, well....
Shit tuba city is almost the population of my nearest “city” within 2 hours, my village is about 17-1800 peeps
did yall see the truck moving backwards at 7:48 or was that just me lmao
That was totally just you. They were actually going forward, in reverse... It's a new thing. Lmao.
i was just gonna post and say the same thing
I thought you were gonna say "because you can't use full throttle without blowing the tires off woooooo!" #tractioncontrolsavestiresbillboard
very in between the Ford performance FR1 and the mountune MP275 package for a daily that I drive every day and occasionally track, im leaning towards the MP275 since it includes an intercooler and accessport (only between these two since I want to keep my warranty)
Agilkinson 211 do you keep your warranty with the mountune package?
@@Twink1251 You do with the MP275. Not with the MR300.
just picked up a 2018 ST (yes I test drove the RS) this is better for me, not as fast, but better all around. I'm interested in this tune you speak of. I'll check it out. deciding between that and getting an Cobb AP.
Evol ATV i was considering trading my ‘16 st for an RS my st is modified and tuned by stratified and the rs felt so slow honestly not sure what gas the dealer put in it but i was not impressed especially since my monthly payments would more than double
Hay anyone, what’s better ? Bpv controlled by the solenoid or straight from the manifold?
enjoyed the view!
Glad you enjoyed them!
Have you done anything with the shifter? I got the FSWerks adjustable shift plate and wow. Huge difference! I have the Ford Racing Calibration also, with the Focus Electric rear Motor Mount. If you want I work in Tempe and you can take mine for a spin to check out the shift plate. It is amazing.
Can we get another ST meetup???
Yea I will. My wedding is next week so I am just too busy to plan right now.
Congrats man!!!
Since your warranty has expired, have you thought of getting more aggressive with your mods ie tunes turbo lsd etc? If so what mods are you considering? Thanks for the informative videos. Love the ST and will be getting my own soon!
ST owners 7:30 thank me later
8 hours was taking my R6 from Madison Wisconsin to Columbus Ohio
Tasha Wegmueller, 6-7 hours from fond du lac to the west end side of ohio for me.
I had to stop often for a break and fuel@@jessebudelman
I think i stopped like 2-3 times on my journey and that was during the drive thru Indiana.
Have you had service done and they reflashed? How does this work with the FP calibration? Recalibration? BTW, killin it with that drone bro!! 👍🏼
gettin good
Nice drone footage! Do you know any information relating the ford procal and how it affects an extended warranty? Would it keep full warranty or override it with a different, less mileage warranty? Again, sweet video man love seeing some good shots of the ST.
If you get it installed by a certified ford dealership it will be covered in your warranty
Hey man have you had the recall done yet for the gas tank deformation? What I don't get is for us running the Ford performance tune is we have to return to stock, let the dealer put on a different PCM calibration, then put the Ford calibration back on... wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the dealer reprogramming the PCM? Unless for performance is coming out with a newer calibration with this recall in mind?
A lot of trucks don't have 360 lb/ft torque? 🤔
Watch the truck and car on the road at around 7:48 - 7:55. I didn't know Arizona drivers were so talented!
Nothing but the best out here
Better yet, Gjeebs hiding behind his car lol 😂
hahaha damnit you caught me!@@echopiece79
Gjeebs 65” at 4K.... sorry 😐
Thank you for the info! I know i could watch all the videos and find out what all you did to get up to that level of performance but i would get lost in them and get side tracked so quick. Is there a way to contact you to find out what you have done to reach that level with out causing a big hassle? I wish mine had nav.. makes me sad.

Good cinnamon tography
Would getting a sound symposer delete kit make the sound you hear while driving more natural????
Yes
@@Gjeebs is there any reason you haven't gotten one?(haven't watched all of your videos so not sure if you said anything about it before)
Why not buy an accessport ? I know you want to keep your warranty but I think youd love the difference
My warranty is gone so I might. Any suggestions of which is best?
Check out Stratified, they know ecoboost. This link gives a good overview of modding stratifiedauto.com/blog/ford-focus-st-modifications-guide-by-stratified-auto/
@@Gjeebs If you were to buy one I'd buy it from a tuner like jst or stratified that way you get a base tune already in the AP instead of having to use the OTS tunes.
But tuner that's a whole different debate haha but I'm with stratified e30 no issues at 62k miles now running strong.
@@Gjeebs 93 octane tune with torrie {unleashed tuning} with launch control
So I think your goals with the ST is similar to mine. Would you still have gotten the Ford performance calibration or would you have rather gotten like a Cobb access port?
The access port gives you more on the go feedback and the Ford Calibration is just in place and that’s it. You have to hook up your computer to see what is going on or to uninstall it. That’s fine for me but others like to see temperatures misfires etc. personal preference really
why'd you choose the ford performance tune over the usual route of getting an accessport?
I like the reliability of the ford performance tune over the others is the main reason
Hey man, in a month or two I'm hoping top make a BIG upgrade. I'm going to be trading in my 2001 Toyota Camry (auto) for a six speed manual. I'm shooting for a used or new Focus ST. Anything I should be keeping my eyes open for while shopping for the Focus?
Don't buy a Focus SE
Yeah, I've got no interest in the SE anyway. St is what I'm going to purchase
Get a bigger turbo then it will have power all the way threw
How much highway driving do you do? Because I do mostly city driving and my average is 23.7 but I still have a new motor that only has 6k miles on it.
I am like 80% highway
What Drone are you using? Is it possible to see your camera gear/set up one of these days?
Mavic 2 zoom. Yea I can show that in another video
8hrs ...He must thought u was taking ya horse on Old Town Road lol
Hahahahaha
Hahahahaha gonna riiide till I can’t no more
Shit I feel that what without the tune tbh
How do you deal with the wheel hop with the extra torque
I have an upgraded motor mount so there is virtually no wheel hop
@@Gjeebs Which did you go with? I hear the Electric Focus RMM (OEM part) is a good upgrade from the stock..but also heard '15+ RMM's were already upgraded. My '16 RMM feels soft..and the wheel hop is pretty bad making full throttle pulls in 1st or 2nd pretty useless.
People in Tuba drive slow. It's my home town. sorry you had to go there. Don't go to the Dennis. xD
Can I ask what editing program you use?
I’m embarrassed to respond to this publicly but... iMovie
@@Gjeebs would have never guessed! Thanks!
You bought a tuba in the city, what? Are you a doctor?
Medical device rep
What do ya do for work bro?
Medical device sales
Hey Gjeebs, with this calibration have you notice any difference in the turbo response or any more boost at all? I'm really leaning towards this package, just want to to be more than certain before spending money in to upgrading my car. Thx
I haven’t paid attention to the boost but the response because of advanced timing is way better. Peak torque and power just comes on earlier plus 90 ft lb of additional torque
Idk if you told us but what is your job? Not trying to force you to tell us but I just recently watched The Mule lol and haha the dude drives for his job in that movie
Haha I am a medical device sales rep
Clearly he mentioned it in the video...it was rather subtle but obviously he's in the Meth business... how else do you think he can afford an ST? ^_^
