Installed Unleashed 93 octane tune last night & the car is so freakin' FAST!!!  It's unbelievable!!!

I totally understand what everyone says about "falling in love with the car all over again" & "you should've done it sooner"!!!

EVERYONE that has a SHO must get a tune...........it's as simple as that............

Thank you Torrie for everything!!

It is an amazing feeling that first drive after a tune.  Especially if its your first forced induction motor and even more so with a turbo.  Its not like a n.a. motor where you might get 10 or maybe 20 horse power. A tune on these motor is like awakening sleeping fire breathing Dragon you didn't know about. And the car drives normal when you drive normal. the perma 😀 grin strike again

Great to hear!

The power add is awesome.

One thing that stands out in a huge way to me also...the shifting in normal driving conditions. Makes you wonder what Ford was thinking with such a great improvement that doesn't feel harsh at all.

Boost on!!!

FYI, the 2015 shifts much better than the 2013.

In fact, it behaves very similar to the Torrie tuned 2013.

Lots of little improvements overall...

Well said. I have tried to explain this numerous times, often times I am looked at like I am exaggerating.

Are you going to datalog and retune?

Oh, and give the tune a few days, it will get better....

Just about every SHO owner has some sort of tune so it makes me wonder-did Ford leave room for tunes on purpose and is now not responsible for engine damage/replacement? I bet as high as 80 percent of SHO owners have flashed their computer at least once.  Going to a new engine design with direct injection and now the manufacturer doesn't have to honor a engine/power train warranty! Just a thought.

I think you are confusing Ford with GM ;)
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!

I know the difference between Ford and GM I was just trying to figure out why Ford left so much room for tuning. If these cars would've been tuned right from the factory we would see a lot more on the streets

That's definitely a thought but the SHO was made to compete with large luxury sports sedans
