Hey everyone, my name is Daniel and I just got my hands on a 2010 taurus sho. Not new to performance cars,  it all I've really ever owned but new to the Ford side of things so I'm excited to learn more about the car what people have done to make these faster. Look forward to talk to you all.

Welcome Daniel,

Congrats on the new SHO and you will love it! The Tune is a beat bang for your buck mod and it's impressive to see what these cars can do with just a tune! Livernoise and unleashed tuning are great and you won't go wrong with either one!

Welcome and congrats!

Glad you're here!

You'll love the SHO... Most interesting thing to work with are the torque based Ecoboost algorithms in the ECU.

Thanks everyone for the  awesome  welcome. A tune sounds like a must. Had the same experience with my g8, great cars from stock but beast as soon as they are tuned.  I know everyone is different but is one tune preferred over others for these cars? I know Livernoise is a  big one with the gm guys.

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!

Yep, the mod bug is additive. I can not think of any car i have ownd that i have ever left alone ha. From the looks of some of the mod list i'm seeing it seems like i'll have plenty to look forward to with this car, well once i get the tsb for the tranmission slipping taken car of. Does anyone know if getting a custom tune done fixes the slipping since shift points are changed or does it need the valve separator plate installed that fixes the issue on the stock tune?
