Not bad Dave.  You picked up some torque.  Did they give you a SAE corrected print out?  STD numbers are always a little higher.  Looks like the torque falls under 400 @ about 3800 rpms on your graph.  Should feel beefy down low.  ;)

Today, I made great use of the ventilated seats feature, by letting a few good one's rip.....

Thankfully, because of the vented seats, the noxious fumes didn't stand a chance being impregnated deep into the cushion/seat material.


Whew!  :blowup:

Although come to think of it..... :hmmm: makes me wonder if I should be inspecting those filters now as a result? :dunno:

Great idea Mike... I always lift up a little and open the sunroof... but your method might be best in the rain.

Dave how many miles/hours away from LMS are you?

It's a six hour trip each way.

Thanks Jeff.  I might have to launch at a slightly lower RPM than I did last year.

Loading it on a rollback tow truck in my driveway now...


I re-gapped 4 plugs yesterday evening and I had 2 spark plugs left... the tough ones.....  So a few minutes ago i disconnected the hotpipes, etc, and pulled the coil and boot on the rear cylinder of driver's side.... I thought it came loose to easy... when I pulled the coil/boot out it was covered with oil... stuck a socket on the plug and it was tight, but this showed me there was at least 1 1/2 inches of oil in the spark plug well.... s***... No tune today... Ford Roadside Assistance is 15 min out... towing to the dealer... When I was 18 I burned a van to the ground because of an oil leak... Don't wanna burn my baby, too hard to replace. Always has run fine... still does.

Gotta be a bad seal or defective rocker arm cover... or head... the exterior engine and the other spark plug wells were dry.

So wanting the tune saved my car!... it's all covered by Ford... So I'm gonna ride to the dealership... Check it out with them and get a rental

Really wanted my tune today...

To your benefit I may be scarce on the forum today....

BiGMaC, that is first for this engine family that I have heard of with that issue.  I had a Lincoln LS (Jaguar V8) and they were notorious for that.  It is likely just a seal.  The rocker cover will need to come off but hopefully no major surgery will be needed.

Installed my LMS Stage 4+ tune today! Have gotten to test it because of the snow, but it should be melted by the time I leave work :)

The x-pipe and stock mufflers definitely did not work out. Thanks for sharing. What are you going to do next?

That's exactly how my car sounds with the bare x pipe... different tone overall because of the dynomax muffs but same rasp. I hate it.
Was going to reinstall old muffled x pipe but im just going to order a Corsa and be done with it. Maybe the SW cb, since its cheaper and I run their dp's

Got my x-pipe installed... Still have stock mufflers. BAD CHOICE

2011 Taurus SHO xpipe w/stock mufflers

Sorry  it didnt turn out as planned  ...... that is part of the problem of pieced together DIY exhaust mods .... really hard to know what the end results will be .
2013 SHO  ....  not mine anymore

I have offset magnaflow mufflers on order. If its still raspy I'll go to a resonated x.
