Hey everyone, I'm Mike!

The Car:
I bought my 2014 Ford Taurus SHO (pp) and it actually arrived Christmas day at the end of 2014!  I absolutely love this car.  Today, she has about 20k miles.  Now that the stock warranty is about up on it, I'm going to grab the level 2 performance pack from LMS and start having fun!   

Quick Intro on myself
I'm a software engineer by day and a mechanic by night.  My ratty project car is a 1972 Ford LTD Brougham with a 460 that I've built myself.

Anyway, while I love all cars, I mostly stay in the Ford camp and am looking forward to reading about what all you other SHO and Ecoboost related guys/gals are up too.  While I may not post a whole lot,  I make up for my lack of posting with a ton of lurking. ;)

(edit: forgot to put my name in there!)

Welcome aboard, Mike, and congrats on picking a multi-faceted beast!  I would recommend getting Ford ESP if you are considering extending the warranty on it before it's up, much cheaper that way.  And going with LME's tune, I wouldn't worry about warranty issues :)

Post some ginormous pics of your SHO.  And definitely make a thread in the non EB build section, would love to see what you are doing with your LTD!

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!
