But thats not....a SHO? Hmm one of us is missing out on something here.

Also focus rs must not have been a hot seller because they keeled it, keeled it. Its 3am in the morning.....bodies all over the floor an.....

My sho sounding like a Honda with a thumper cam is a nice change from daily driving my caddy with a new 560ci flat plane crank, I still can't hear right.

Why a flatplane crank in a big block?
You do you as far as your sho, maybe add a bunch of stickers to it and a 6ft spoiler for the trunk.

It gots stripes and like 12 stickers. Don't think the tranny can handle any more stickers. Already axel hops. Unless I need more stickers up front to even it out since its awd

I need to do something. I can't seem to get anyone to race lately

My sho sure is a good bit quicker with the built engine in it now and doesn't even sound like an ecoboost anymore. Maybe thats the turbo upgrades fault. I do have sway bar links clacking now also

I'm not gunning anyone else until I get a tune. Tired of getting gapped by bimmers :shrug:

Thats funny you say that. Most races I get are from wrx or BMW. I'm thinking about buying a tune myself soon. I've been trying to learn how to tune myself but there's hardly any information for ecoboost out there. I've been using information from the Chevy guys and applying it.
I'm starting to get too far out to sea though.

Because it’s the internet and you can make up all the BS you want to!

I personally prefer stripSHO tuning but I can’t recommend it for anyone else lol. But *** hey feel free to hit me up if you ever want a second set of eyes on your tune or logs or get stuck on something! I’d like to see how the truck strategies compare to ours

Thanks! I was actually on the verge of reaching out a while ago as I’ve been stuck on a hard 1.6 load limit that I couldn’t find my way around. But then today I found the elusive inverted ****** temp table so I think I’m in good shape. I’ll find out by the end of the weekend hopefully

Once you hear the sound of a 7000rpm flatplane big block you would want one also. Couple good company's making them now. All it really was, was rods, pistons and new crank. And swap around the wires for the new firing order

Yeah I’d love to hear that sound. You should post a video, with the camera pointed at your tach.

Do you want the stock read? I don't want to encourage anyone to try anything ive done. I'm not sure if I'm even on the right track. Basically I'm requesting more torque and adjusting limiters as I hit them. This probably is dangerous but thats how it is when n you teach yourself lol

I mean, yeah that's it in a nutshell. Watch your knock, watch your lambda, watch your fuel pressure. Start conservative (rich and ********) rather than working backwards from dangerous to safe. Sheet send me your stock and your current tune so I can do a compare and see what you're toying with. Don't worry, definitely not trying to monkey-see monkey-do your truck tune into my car! I'm too methodical for that.
