Welcome! I moved from NorCal last summer to Houston. I was up close to Roseville in Yuba City/Marysville area.

that will go away after 5 or so posts. It's just for security measures, and it's temporary.

Welcome!  :WELCOME:

Start with servicing all fluids. Then tune and DPs... For examples check my, and other folks signatures. 

Enjoy!

BiGMaC - already have my parts list made.

Only thing I still need to see is which tune is the best. I know about Diablo, 5 star and livernoismotorsports. Is there a thread here or SHO forums you know of that has done a comparison on them?

livernoismotorsports or Diablo are probably the two I am looking at.

Also I have not seen a intercooler upgrade for the sho? Is my google kung fu weak or is the design just good enough from factory?

There are some still just getting started... And a couple to avoid.   The two most proven tuners for the EB platform are Unleashed and LME.

Welcome to the community, and congrats on your soon-to-be ride!  You can thank the trolls & spammers for us having to put up our defenses :(  A quick primer on the most popular performance mods:
http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php/topic,808.msg7294.html#msg7294

Tunerwise, BiGMaC's got ya covered.  I would add LET (Leading Edge Tuning) as a third option if you wanted to look into that (contact is Erick).  All assuming you are looking for power + longevity.  Diablo is well worth staying away from for this platform.

Livernois aka LME aka LMS
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

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!

Yeah i am looking for longevity. In my search neither of the options u guys listed came up. humm.

I know search but do these tunes also touch transmission or just power? i know livernoismotorsports does.

The mentioned tuners are very good on longevity track record, while maintaining the fastest times around.

Key factor will be your treatment of it...fluids kept fresh and a device to monitor or log with for starters.

Tuners address both engine & transmission.

As for the wheels, a 40mm offset should work fine.
