Ken Reece

My name is Ken, 55yrs old, married, 2 kids, one in college, one fresh out of the military, go airborne! 25 yrs as a high school science teacher, 20 years as a professional arborist.  Researching, reading and looking at purchasing a SHO.  Drove my first SHO today, how does one not slide out of the seat?
Currently driving my old faithful, 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP, full exhaust, TEP transmission with 3.29 gears, hot air intake, STPs.
Sold my baby last year 2005 Pontiac GTO, lots of goodies.  It was fun having the loudest and fastest car at my High School. The resource office used the car's exhaust as his alarm clock.  Anyway I am looking forward to following my father over to "the Blue Side" and begin a new chapter in my life.

I think you will enjoy a SHO. It sounds like you are no stranger to car mods. You should look into tunes for the SHO..Power is easily extracted through tuning since the turbos are electronically controlled through the ECU....So much better than tunes on N/A cars

Welcome to EBPF, Ken, and hope to see your new SHO in pictures soon :D

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!
