Greetings from beautiful Southern Oregon!
I bought my SHO with 27 miles on it just this February.  Tuxedo black, performance package, 20" wheels and every other etc. I could add.  Absolutely LOVE it. Looking forward to learning more. Thats why I joined.  Lets talk custom tune.  Can you direct me to that thread?  Cant wait to post pics and SHO it off.  Oh, by the way, when I talk to someone about this special car, do I say I have a SHO (show) or do I say S-H-O.  Whats proper? Thanks

Nick

Welcome, Nick!  Definitely post up some pics, we all love pictures lol

I call it S.H.O.  That's what it used to be called by Ford and the original enthusiasts.  But a lot of people call it SHOW, including my young kids.  Doesn't matter to me!

Fun to watch the commercials from the late 80's and 90's:

Then the newer commercials, they say SHOW:

This one says both:

Welcome aboard, Nick!  Glad to have you and your '14 SHO here!  The topic of tuning can be quite a hotbed, as people are passionate about the one they install.  Suffice it to say, the top tuners currently are Unleashed Tuning & Livernois Motorsports.  Can't go wrong with either.  We do have a new tuner on the forum (Leading Edge Tuning) who is looking for SHO/XSport/etc as a test bed to expand his offerings.

A tune + 3 bar MAP + lower temp TStat + plugs gapped to 0.030 (or sometimes 0.028) seems to be the best value for your money right off the bat.

S-H-O

All the time, every time :thumb:  Tho no offense taken if pronounced "show".
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

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!

Welcome nick. If you tune I'd second SHOdded's recommendations.

I was always a S-H-O guy from owning a Gen 2 back at the turn of the century (that sounds longer ago than it was...lol). But I catch myself saying show now as the kids and lovely lady say it all the time.
