Oh boy...... where to begin?
Welp, experienced yet another great trip travelling to Livernois Motorsports.
Always great to reconnect with fellow friends and Ecoboost owners.
I had the added pleasure of my dear friend Jeff (owner of
www.HKMediaChicago.com)..... affectionately dubbed by me as "My Photographer", to come along and document the shenanigans accordingly.
Jeff will be posting videos, photos, and my latest dyno sheets as time allows him to do so. Him and I both got in fairly late last night, after I decided to make the trek back home, in entirety.
So onto the #'s that so many of you are clamoring for........
443AWHP
456AWTQThat's where I ended up.
My previous #'s I came in with, were 400AWHP, and 433AWTQ.I was informed, at least from a tuning perspective alone, that there's still more room to play with, but knowing my car's daily driven (for now).....
I, and I alone, chose to not employ those additional, suggested tuning measures (adding timing, upping boost, etc.) to get those numbers higher.
Perhaps when I clear buying the oldest kid a car 1st, then I can pick up a used, beater, pos, daily driver for myself, then I can get a little more stupid with my SHO. Stupid to the point that if a failure were to occur (no matter where) then I have a secondary vehicle to fall back upon, and it won't be so much of an issue, as it would be for now, if elected to get crazy wild bonkers.
As most of you know, I've always strived to strike a balance between performance, and dependable, consistent reliability given the daily driven aspect of my SHO.
I think I've proven that mantra, with the mods I've performed, and the rewarding ownership of my SHO, without having developed any "issues" over the years.
Moving along, given my limited time frame I presented (a scant 2 days) I am
SO INCREDIBLY APPRECIATIVE to all of the staff over at Livernois Motorsports for their continued involvement in helping me achieve my goals, step by painstakingly progressive step.
Most thanks goes directly to owner Dan Millen, for applying all of his talents, and for all of his hard work placed not only into my car, but also for finagling around other jobs, in order to get me in/out of there in the short time frame he did.
Yes Dan, I will do my best to allow you more time in the future to "play" with my SHO.
So, at this point, I'll digress, and open the thread for questions, comments, etc.......
