Hello all,
My name is Chris, and currently living in South Dakota. I've been a Ford guy since I was old enough to drive, my first car was my parents hand me down 95 Taurus, and I guess that's were it started. My current stable of Fords includes a 2013 5.0 F150, 2004 Cobra, and my newly acquired 2010 Taurus SHO. This is my first Ecoboost, and someone on another forum told me about this one. This seems like a great place to learn more about the platform. I've generally stayed away from purchasing daily driver cars that I know I'll want to mod, but I got a great deal on this car, and honestly loved it after the first test drive.

I don't have any huge plans for the SHO right now, thinking about just a tune/plugs/3bar. That might change, that will probably change. I don't know, I'm trying to save a little money for a TVS for the cobra...decisions.

Here's a quick phone pic the day I brought her home. I'll get better pictures after it warms up and I get a chance to do a little paint correction in a few areas. I look forward to learning from the vets here, cheers.

Wow, looks like you landed a custom SHO!  Welcome to the community, Slowpoke, glad to have ya and your Blue Oval stable here!  Put some pics up of your other rides as well, we'd love to see them!

Tune/plugs/3bar can actually be HUGE for the SHO, so don't hesitate ... too much!

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!

costum indeed. it wouldn't surprise me if that thing has been tuned already and put back to stock before sale. might be worth pulling a spark plug from the front bank- might already have colder plugs in it!

Thanks for welcome. I don't have any good pictures of my vehicles, just some smart phone pics.

My truck is just a no frills XLT, but the 5.0 runs strong and the truck itself has given me close to 60k trouble free miles so far.





My cobra is collecting dust in hibernation right now. The eaton had been pulled off, still havent decided if I'm going to just port it, or replace it with a 2.3 TVS. Besides that it's a basic cookie cutter cobra, 2.8 upper, stock lower, supporting mods, intake, exhaust etc. The most recent mod to this is H&R race spings that either haven't fully set, or I need to remove another iso. Please pardon my messy garage.






8nutz8, good thinking. I'll pull a plug this weekend and see what I find.
