Welcome Chris, you're off to s great start, Torrie writes some amazing tunes that really wake up the Ecoboost.  And while we're talking about members with a screw loose, anyone who says their car's color is better than Tuxedo Black belongs in that club.  TB FTW!!

Detect a bit of sarcasm!!! It was all in good fun! Z

So DP's and Intercooler are next? 

Personally before those, I would be getting H&R's and the upgraded trans mounts.  However, you have a Lincoln and it probably rides really nice. 

My SHO still rides okay, but I removed the creature ride comforts for performance and now the car is completely different in ride, feel, and sound inside the cabin.

I was thinking about doing brakes, and exhaust next. Are the trans mounts hard to install?

Personally I have the Powerstop Drilled and Slotted Rotors with their ceramic performance pads.  The pads are junk if you brake heavily from high speeds.  I personally would get the front and rear rotors, and pick up a pair of PP front and rear brakes pads.  I never had fade with the PP brake pads. 

Don't bother with exhaust, it will make the car sound like crap.  DP's will help with performance, but from DP's back....zero gains and garbage sound.

Never mind, you have an SHO.  I would definitely get some H&R springs, and the trans mounts.  If you have stock DP's, and a 15 mm ratchet wrench, it takes about a half hour start to finish including getting the car on jack stands.  Literally 4 bolts.  You will experience more drive train vibration, but the performance on the shifts during WOT is worth it to me. The virbrations lessen the more miles you put on them. Worth every penny.

Below, stock junk vs Gen2 Mounts and the rear mount installed.  I was too lazy to pull off the cover again to take a pic of the front mount.  However it is stupid easy to swap out.

I modified my last post with more info.

Did you have to jack up the engine or transmission?

It lived its first five years as a Southern Dumbeffistan (Ca) car.  But yes, there isn't any rust on my car.

Nice car! Just joined as well and picked up a '15 PP black SHO with the same tune and mods (with downpipes in addition). Hope you enjoy the community here!

Thanks! I've been looking at some downpipes, from what I've see around the forum they really help the our SHO's rip down the quarter mile. Hopefully I can get them on by the end of the year, my masters program is eating up most of my free time so we'll see.
