Best Bang for 2500

[SHOdded]

Agreed!  But I would like to hand the GT and the 650S their respective behinds with a SHO

LOL... Me to! But I can have a second SHO for the cost of the phase 2 3.5TT!  We can dream though...

Is maintaining warranty plausibility important?

Meth makes that really difficult.

Doesn't having a tune ruin same parts of warranty?

No meth.....good luck proving my car was tuned.

Meth....good luck proving your car isn't tuned.

Say you removed the meth kit when something failed and returned the car back to stock.

Does it leave residue behind in the intake manifold?

If you consider shiny valves residue, yes but its not anything they can use against you.

Fuel has small amounts of meth in it already so there's plausible deniability.

Looking at the OP's signature, I see he has some supporting hardware to compliment a potential turbo upgrade. Doesn't really detail his "custom" exhaust work, or to what extent that entails. Also, suffice to say, him running 10.5" wide rims at all four corners isn't helping.

He also goes onto compare the F150 (which as we all know, has different/hardened internals, as well as different, larger turbos) so to compare what an F150 is doing, to a SHO, isn't necessarily appropriate either.

Has the OP run his SHO at the track with the mods currently installed? If not, should do so.

This will give him at least a baseline to work from, and a reasonable target range of times to head towards.

I would say simply slapping on the ATP's, and then adjusting the tune file to take advantage of them, he would really be testing the limitations of the SHO's internals. At least to the degree of expecting any longevity out of it.

Also, without any supporting fuels mods, and me being generous.....

I would really be surprised if he were to eek out a 12.2 at best.

BDP I have not run the car at the track yet but i am heading to my local track tomorrow afternoon to get some before the new mod/mods times. And i will post them up tomorrow night.

You also have to consider that i am the first 13+ PP to have track times with the coilovers.

The 10.5 could possibly hurt but i think they could also benefit me by keeping traction on the front tires.

When i post the times i would like your input on what you think can be expected by solely doing the ATP upgrade with no additional mods then what i have now.

And for the f150 i stated that because the truck weighs 1000 more pounds then the Taurus so even making a little less power the weight and gearing of the car should help that my times i would think

time slips from last night it was roughly 75 degrees and a little bit humid when i made these two passes but when i got there around 6 it was in the 90s.

i also had a three hour drive to the track in the heat im not sure if this could have affected my times

Ouch...must need driver mod...temps were not that bad

[zach_435]

driver mod? not much driver mod needed with and automatic.

[zach_435]

if your referring to my reaction time i was launching after the light on purpose.

[AJP turbo]

Reaction time has no bearing on ET...driver mod needed

[zach_435]

please explain what i could have possibly done different lol

[AJP turbo]

I dont know.....did you have advancetrac off!...just seems slow
