Hey everyone,

My name is Zach, I've been on here for a few months and came over from SHOForum.com before and thought I would finally introduce myself here. 

I've had my SHO now for 13 months now and has been kept bone stock due to not wanting to throw off my warranty.  But with all you guys here posting about all the LED items, I was convinced to at least do the LED conversion stuff throughout the whole car.  So hopefully within the next week I will have all that switched.  Maybe some pics and feedback to follow later.  But other than LEDs I will just be installing a Nexus 7 on a dash mount to run Torque Pro on.  No tune at the moment but just being a techie, I really enjoy having that stuff available to use and mess around with.

But other than that I'm a 25 year old Design Engineer here in north central Iowa.  Hopefully moving on down to the Des Moines area within the next year.  And I just wanted to say it's great to see a community like this and glad to be in it!

Welcome to EBPF, Zach!  Can never go wrong with being conservative to start with.  Get a handle on how your car runs stock with Torque and data logging, then step up to a tune, downpipes, turbos, methanol, etc.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Thanks for all the support guys.  I grew up on a farm about 10 miles from Mason City up in the northern part of the state.  And then graduated from ISU a few years ago.  It's always nice to see some people from the state on here, brings it a little closer to home.
