Hey fellow SHO owners, hi from Michigan. Just wanted to say thanks for all INFO that you have shared. I have been lurking around here for quite some time, reading and trying to learn all that I could from you all. I have a 2010 Cinnamon metallic non PP SHO, Fully loaded with all the goodies. This Car has been rock solid for me. I just turned 60000 and decided to let the mods begin. Running the LMS 4+ tune, Denso plugs and now I want to take it into the next level.
Looking at cat-less DP's, cat back system, 170 thermostat and ATP turbos. I'm going to have a lot of questions but will have a fun doing this. Thanks again.

Welcome, MotorCitySHO!  Looks like you are well on your way to making the SHO it was meant to be :)  Here is a thread that may help you in your quest:

Please do post a pic or two of your SHO, and time slips if you've got 'em (http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php/board,36.0.html)!

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!

Welcome!

I used to live in Lansing/Grand Rapids over 10 years ago.  Graduated from Ferris State in '04.

Sounds like a solid plan.  But I think you will want a 160*, as that is what Livernois requires for their latest 4X tune.

Thank's all, ya know I asked the guy at the counter guy about that the 160 degree and the 3 bar map. He told me that unless I went with the Meth they would be of no use to me. Then he pressed me to purchase the CAI instead "for a 12 HP gain" from what I have read most see no benefit from CAI, much to learn...anyway GO BLUE!!!

160 tstat can't hurt...the CAI might be proven to help here shortly with a slight and easy modification.  GO BLUE::)
