This is interesting. After you posted this I was watching the boost gauge while running some errands. With the 10A in D, as I drop the hammer I get boost in the 9-11psi range (max). If I do the same in M from first gear I get 0psi. You’re right, in 2nd gear it goes full boost.
I will try...

The Ford Performance Tune provides noticeable improvement in boost from a standstill. However, traction management serves as an antagonist. Sport mode improves throttle response and holds 1st gear longer so it sounds and feels faster but I have never timed it.
The best "sporty" feel for...
If that "image" is FUN, then yes. Our WT is an extra vehicle. We have family car (Escalade) and fun (sports) cars. We've had Range Rovers and CTS-V but those didn't offer open air experience. In SoCal the top is off 9 months out of the year. Surf boards on top, banging around beach town -...
The 450P is the Cadillac of the VIAIR portable line. I have only used it once but it is very nice. As you said, it is a little slower but it doesn't quit!
I do like the under seat option for simplicity and I loan it out from time to time to buddies who are out wheeling when I am not.
Currently using the VIAIR 300P on the Bronco. It airs up all four 35" tires from 20 PSI to 35 PSI in 9 minutes and stows easily under the back seat.
VIAIR 300P Air Compressor Review
For the price, it is hard to beat.
I have no affiliation with any of the companies mentioned here. I was not asked to review this product. I purchased for personal use and share my experience.
Can the 300P handle 35’s? If so, how long will it take? Let’s find out!
Having used and abused the various VIAIR 400P models over the...
My friend in SoCal very much likes the Ford Performance Tune for his '23 Wilktrak. Says it makes the truck feel alive like it should be. He purchased it from Lethal and did the install himself in 20min. He is delighted it is now CARB approved. Lethal has great pricing and fast shipping he...
I installed the fixed top version as it was on sale at the time ($450 + free shipping). Install sounds similar to your experience. At times I think the ability to lift the lid with struts would be nice but I do prefer the look of the flat top fixed version - the lid is flush with the sides...
I don't have a photo of the OEM rock rail to compare with but I suspect it is steel and mounts to the frame. Here are underside photos of my drivers side Hoop Step Rail installed from the factory. It has two attachment points to what looks like the underbody and pinch welds. There is no...
Disappointed in the hybrid-only powertrain and wondering how much this will weigh. Nice design however and price point. It will be popular in the 5-passenger SUV market with legitimate off-road chops. I would never consider it a substitute for a Bronco (or Wrangler) personally, they will have...
