Sounds great! Cant wait to see the results you guys have!

It certainly would be an EPIC-SHO in the making plus the weather is certainly looking Stellar for this weekend but @ my old age the reflexes are a bit rusty combined with my patients. Dunno @ the moment.  Z

In respect to our esteemed vendor we might need to move this to a dedicated section. TIA.  Z

                                 

So So Tempting.  Z   :hmmm:

It was certainly an honor and prosperous moment @ yesterday's Track-meetup @ CCD with our surprise guest the one and only SHOdded making his appearance which made the event twice as nice and  :clap2: :clap2: his efforts for making it there with such short notice.  :notworthy:

It was a pleasure meeting Brian (BamSho)  for the first time (Mr.Consistency) based on his runs(ET'S) IMO.  :thumb: :thumb:

I must admit it was nice being with such genuine guys like Manu and Brian which made it an Epic moment by far while representing the LMS/LME Brand.  :)

I unfortunately could not race because the only option was to purchase a helmet @ CCD,while messing up my back @ the bleachers,but Brian was kind enough to try her out for me.

I'm hoping for some better results in the coming weeks with Code C1B00 Plagued with Traction issues for quite sometime now.  :(

:bigthanx: To Manu and Brian once again and hoping they will also chime in soon........ ..Z

It was pretty cool to meet up with Z, and to meet Brian and Kris in person :thumb:  Yes, Mike, I felt out Brian to my heart's content, and he was a good sport about it!  Brian & Kris are amazing people, and I am glad I got a chance to enjoy theirs' and Z's company yesterday.  Just an amazing day!

BAM_SHO asked me to post these images for him, as he was having difficulty doing so.

Enjoy.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171024/ccf08a3cfd0f2ac4ee27cd4da6e5f86d.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171024/01a060a2ca3214f78e0e55a0655ca16a.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171024/2350735aadea46454108ab3e9bad1146.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171024/556f8eda9419417f4167018e201f543e.jpg)

Livernois will actually be at Milan Dragway tomorrow around 6pm if anyone is interested in showing up as well to meet any of us or to have a good time!

Thanks BPD, not sure why I was having trouble. 

First want to thank Z and his family for coming, and the surprise guest in Manu and his wife coming too.  That made my day.  Was nice to finally put a face with the screen names here. 

Z, it was an honor to drive your car at the track.  I know how hard it is to let someone else drive your car, esp at a dragstrip.  I'm pretty sure your car has more in it, but that was the best I could do.  Hope your back is doing better.

As for my day.  The pic with the double slip are the first two runs for the day.  The single slip is the best of the day.  Not quite the 2 tenths gain from BSD to Cecil but I will take it.  Still squealed the tires, but 60fts were still in the low 1.7s.  Other bug HP cars where having issues too, wheel standing, getting out of shape at launch, wheel hop.  So it wasn't just me.  DA started out at 100 and climbed to just over 1000, which is great.  Yeah I found a gas station that had 100 octane fuel at the pump.  So why not feed the beast.

Kris's phone has videos on it and will try to get them posted here.  I have a couple ideas for the winter, and one of them I need to talk with Anthony at Livernois about.  So I think this was a great way to end the racing season.  I have a list race this Saturday and a call out from a local guy with a lifted 13-14 F150 with a 5.0 in it.  He says he has a 100 shot of NOS on it, but no one has seen under his hood.  The race is for $50.  Not sure why he wants too, but money is money.

Make him cry, Brian :P. Saturday's coming up quick!

Least I can do Z! No problem at all.

I am super elated to see newer SHO owner's such as yourself, as well as EB enthusiast's like Manu, carrying on the torch, and making meet ups like this one, continue on.

As I've found out myself, half the fun of being part of this grouping of owners/enthusiasts, is making personal appearances at events.

Always fun and that's where the memories are made and camaraderie is formed. Keep it up!

AHH. I kept telling Brian a good friend of mine (surprise guest) is coming soon and the expression on Brian's face was priceless once he saw Manu in person and was ecstatic to greet him with hug of a lifetime which was super cool on his part . Z  :)

Grateful for the opportunity to meet everyone in one place.  Brian & Kris are every bit as nice as I imagined them to be, and then some.  Great to hang out with Z's fam too!!!

You ran a 12.0X on the LMS remote Meth Tune?? I do believe your signature is out of date lol!!

Typical bolt ons with meth and remote LMS tune?

Yeah I know it is outdated.  Yes ran 12.17 on Livernois V10 meth tune.

No custom tune, its what Dan and Anthony cooked up.

A custom remote tune to be clear.

Yes, despite some who disbelieve, LMS DOES remote tune.

They do remote tune, it is just a different beast in the sense they do not work off datalogs.  I guess they have the data they need to figure out the changes to make per customer request.

Really?! BamSHO is the only one I have heard of them doing a remote tune for that is a one off for MORE power.. shifting changes sure... lord knows I begged them to turn it up on my remote meth tune as it will never see 12.1x... well maybe down hill with a tornado up it's rear...

Maybe it's a 2013+ thing..

In any event, I am impressed and congrats on that phenomenal time!

Yeah each car reacts different to a tune.  Look a Rich's FreakSHO.  I definitely want him to run at Cecil.  I think he could run 11.8s there.

LMS has remote tuned a lot of their customer's cars. Mine included.

I just made it a point to go the extra mile and head to their facility (on multiple occasions now at that, as it's been many years) to acquire dialed in dyno tune(s) as well.

Plus, in this day and age of the internet, it seems the art of face to face interaction has long been lost. Making a personal connection with your vendors is tantamount to experiencing that ultimate customer satisfaction.

Much like meeting up with owners/enthusiasts at various events, etc.

I've just grown tired or trying to convince people that they do, and have remote tuned.

But yes SBS you are correct, Brian's definitely knock'n on those 11's himself.

If mother nature complies looking forward to head out to CCD one more time in the coming weeks hopefully better prepared and focused on an overall better ET.  Z

Keep us posted. It's a  about 2.5 HRs from my house, but if ccd is a fast track, and other shos are going to be there I might make it.

CCD, Milan, and Englishtown (IIRC) are probably 3 of the best tracks to hit in the U.S. of A.

MIR, Capitol, Cecil, Atco, Island are some of the fastest on the East coast.

Agreed from ^^^.  I have been to many Tracks such as Cecil county,Atco,Milan Dragway which are the TOP Tracks from my very own experience and are well prepped tracks with the exception of Island dragway which personally would avoid IMO. Z

BTW make sure to bring your own helmet @ CCD as they do not rent helmets,only option is to purchase.

Edit post ^^.

Well the guy didn't show up today to run me.  Wonder what B.S. excuse he will give.  Funny thing is he is the one that was the one pushing to run me.  Huh, oh well.  He just lost face with everyone in our group.

Oh well, the mystery continues, LOL.

Well I am going to CCD on Friday night 11/3 if anyone can make it, so far weather looks perfect

Iats were too high, 160-170 most of the night. Ran consistent 12.6's all night until I let the car sit a while and got iats in 140's on this run. Met a couple guys that race bamsho up at beaver also. Car 301

I was brake boosting in the lanes to drop iats

Makes sense, although thats like cutting of your nose inspire of your face... I will hit the test button my alky kit when I am getting ready to line up.. drops the IATs about 10+F instantly..

So we have

1. remove appearance cover
2. remove strip at firewall
3. pop hood open at end of run as cruising back to lineup
4. run a/c to get the second fan activated
5. wire up manual switch to activate second fan
6. brake boost
7. test button on meth kit

anything to add?

LOL! Get a trailer for your SHO so its not heat soaked by the time you get there? And only race on very cold days!

Holy crap Bruce.  Those are really high.

The Intercooler on the SHO or MKS is apparently more efficient than on Fusions, MKZs or Continentals.  I never saw IAT2 temps over maybe 140 with my MKS.   The Fusion Sport guys complain about their IAT2 temps, also.

Bruce do you have a block off plate in front of your intercooler? Is yours even visible or is it like the sho and buried?

On my fusion there was a plate covering half of the intercooler, I pulled it off when I pulled the bumper it helps

I will have to look at it more closely and check for a block off plate.  The intercooler is visible but is behind the active grill shutters.  When the engine is hot, the shutters are open if the car is sitting still.  I have wondered if they stay fully open when the car is going down the track at higher speeds, though.     

Running ac is frowned upon at the track.. dripping water all over the place. Could you unplug the compressor so it never turns on?
