hi, trying to find the previous owner or at least figure out my new 2013 SHO

[Black Coyote]

Switch under the dash and a pic of the trunk where I think that wire leads from the front.

Well, talked with Torrie, and apart from pulling the strategy code, my X3 won't be able to tell if the SHO is tuned.  We would need the original programming device (if any) associated with this particular SHO.  Unfortunately, you'd need a tuning device and the stock file to "return to stock".  If you can get the selling dealer to foot the bill, that would be your best option if you are not keen on a tune right away.

Hmm, OK you still want to take a look at the car?  You might be able to spot something I couldn't dp etc..

SHOdded what would happen if he has to disconnect the battery,would the program be the same?

If it's like all the other cars I've dealt with it probably depends how the tune was save... permanent even if battery loses power or temporary( until battery loses power. )

Disconnecting the battery wouldn't change anything.  The car would just relearn the strategy loaded in the PCM.  Wouldn't advise shorting anything as it would likely render the car immovable.

I am always game to meet up, but don't know if we'd find anything more than you have already discovered.  Glad to get the strategy code.  Then you can have LMS or Unleashed provide it with the tuning device when you buy from them.

DPs are easy to tell as the factory ones are pinched & plain fugly.  Most of the aftermarket ones I have seen are quite "pretty" to look at with their mandrel bends and stainless steel composition.  SHOnUup has pointed out the 3 bar sensor.  Car could possibly have an updated thermostat (170/160), but we'd have to open it up to see.  Same with spark plugs.  Might be gapped to 0.030 if it was tuned.  Worth checking at some point.  Could have bigger turbos, again hard to identify since the changes are internal to the turbo.

Gosh darn it!  I really wish I had a better update for you ...

It is  flashed to the memory, it won't be erased if you disconnect the battery. take that plastic engine cover off so you can see what the intercooler hose looks like going into the throttle body. I would put some sort of meth in the washer resivour.  If the car calls for it and you don't have any kind of meth in there it will cause more harm than just a lower % meth would.

Have a chat with Anthony at LMS he may have a work around for you.

Putting my money on un-tuned with springs and dpipes that made it seem faster...tuned at some point but not now...my complete guess that is

Man if this thing isn't tuned I'll be shocked. It's a mid to high 12 sec car I'm sure. What do these normally run with meth dp and tune?

[Black Coyote]

Shodded you still good for 7?

[SHOdded]

Sure thing!  See you then.

My coyote is pretty much 12 flat or high 11..The sho isn't  anywhere near that but I'd say about 12.5-12.8
