Put an Unleashed tune on the car today. Loving the way it pulls and shifts now. I also found out the definition of wheel hop today, LOL.

Done
I really like the placement.

I've been trying to figure out where to put mine...

Put a new o-ring in my foam cannon and got her detailed!

I took a little trip to Mexico early on Easter Sunday.  Some of us don't have a drag strip nearby so we have to improvise.  I know there are differences between using a gauge to measure performance versus going to the track.  However, I think I have a pretty quick MKS.

Excellent 0-60!   and nothing shabby about the 18th or quarter either!... Super times!  :beer2:  The fun of the SHO is that fierce 0-60.  With the 3BAR and LMS tune mod for it, which Dan told me had a whole new turbo mapping, the same seems to happen 60-100!  :thumb:

BiGMaC, I am sure Dan is correct. My car is brutal in 1st and 2nd but sort of lays down as the RPMs build in 3rd.  I left the car in Drive, of course, and I was at the end of the quarter before it shifted to 4th.

I wonder if I had shifted to 4th manually a bit sooner, if I would have had a better time and higher speed at the end.  I am not sure how an MKS stacks up aerodynamically with a SHO, either.  It just seems that 90-105 is my weak spot.

Well I don't have the dyno yet... but I think getting to use that little boost above 14.5 is why the upper end seems to feel a little stronger... and still pins me in my seat... we'll see in time

well...
RX OCC - RE-MOUNTED OUTSIDE THE ENGINE BAY WITH REMOTE DRAIN ON XSPORT.

Also, installed my DDM 55w 3000K HID fogs while I had the front end off. I think they turned out pretty sweet with the Morimoto 55w 6000K HID headlamps...Still need to get the canbus harness(es) from TRS and throw those on.

Anyone else have HID fogs installed? Any flickering or issues with them without a canbus? I've been having some flickering with the headlamps. TIA

Can you share a list of what you had to buy to do this?  I have been thinking about putting an hid kit in the fogs on my MKS. I'd like to put in a driving light pattern instead of a fog light pattern. Right now I just put some cheap yellow bulbs in the fogs. The stock fogs were worthless. The yellow is better but I feel they are still aimed a bit low. I prefer the look of yellow next to the HIDs instead of regular halogens.

You are running the headlamps directly off battery, right, JimiJak?  Stock harness plugin would likely throttle available power.  What I don't know is if you have slots in the underhood fusebox for OEM HIDs (1 for left, 1 for right, like on the Edge).  You could connect the wiring to that as an alternative to running off battery.

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!

That's a good thought.
However, I'm pretty sure that even with the ballasts connected directly to their own proprietary power source, it would still require the addition of a CANbus harness between the ballasts and fuse box to allow it to communicate back with the lighting system.

When I first installed the HIDs in the headlamps I hooked them up with a heavy duty set of relays to supply additional power to the ballasts...but even with that I was having the occasional problem of one bulb not lighting. So I think the CANbus harness is the only way to go. Pretty inexpensive solution...about $25.

Also, BIG thanks to BigMoneyCloser for hooking me up with switching my cargo light over to LED.
