    Planned obsolesce or bad luck???

    I have a 2014 SHO that just rolled over 120,000 miles. I have owned the car since just under 60,000 miles. Up until recently, the car has been outstanding. Recently, it seems like everything with this car is starting to fail. Around 118,000 miles (April 2025) the car started smoking a little...

    First impressions - XDI EVO HPFP and E30 (Base Tunes)

    Switched from GH to AJPTurbo. I was 100% convinced there was an issue with my car but I had no idea what it could be as everything I could think to test checked out. Once I went with essentially race gas and E85 mixed to E34 and found no difference at all with the OAR and no performance...

    Another full weight 11's SHO - 5/21/22 Rock Falls Raceway

    Nice pass. That trap speed is impressive for stock turbos and no meth or small shot. I am hoping to get similar results once I get my E30 tune, considering we have essentially the same mods.

    How do I know if I have a PP SHO?

    I laughed way too much at this.

    Wait for HPFP or go with Meth or .... Nitrous

    I had planned on picking up an XDI Evo from Ortiz but hadn't noticed the lead time of 6 - 8 weeks. I assume this is still accurate as the Xtreme-DI website says they are on back order and seem to be out of stock, NA or on back order from other vendors. So, knowing that and needing something to...

    Front Suspension Issue

    My SHO was making that clunking noise when turning the wheel while stopped and a few months later, eventually became a loud clunk when making the suspension move from hitting a bump or something similar. I had intended to replace the suspension on the car as it has 86,000 miles on it. The...

    Any tips on installing EPP Hot Pipes and EPP Dual Intake?

    Thanks for the heads up on the airbox. I have access to a lift and just about every tool there is, so hopefully no issues there. My purpose in doing this is because my car won't hold boost above 12 psi. It used to be around 17 psi. I've looked for boost leaks and everything thing else and...

    Any tips on installing EPP Hot Pipes and EPP Dual Intake?

    That's my problem, 6'3, 280 lbs, farm boy. I hate working on things because other people can reach into places with little to no issues. I have to use a ton of extensions and wobbles/swivels to get anywhere. I hate it.

    Any tips on installing EPP Hot Pipes and EPP Dual Intake?

    I could see that. Anything involving the back turbo is painful. Removing the factory rear down pipe was horrible for me. Everything back there is so tight.

    Any tips on installing EPP Hot Pipes and EPP Dual Intake?

    I'm nearing the completion of mods for the SHO (just a HPFP and MAYBE turbos remaining). So far, I've installed colder plugs, thermostat, MSD coil packs, Powerstop brakes, solid mounts, 3 bar map, PPE down pipes, GH intercooler and just recently finished a suspension overhaul (new shocks...

    Top speed SHO

    That website has a ton of information. That said, I think a CD of 0.3 is a little generous. The current Charger SRT has a CD of 0.335, 2015 BMW M5 is 0.33 and that website shows the Ford Fusion Energi and Ford CMax Energi as an estimate of 0.3. The 2013+ Standard Fusion is known to have been...

    Top speed SHO

    @yaycandy Do you have any idea what the coefficient of drag is on a Gen 4? My guess is around 0.34. Also, any need to replace the drive shafts or anything when attempting 200 MPH in a SHO?

    Top speed SHO

    Having been to the Indy (Marion) half mile event, the air strip has terrible grip. Most of those 600+ whp cars just spin halfway down the track. I was there a few years ago (2019) with the Calvo Motorsports (Viper) guys and the big power cars (1800 - 2500 whp) were relying on their traction...

    Suspension Upgrades for SHO??

    Certainly interested in them. Let me know how much you want with shipping to Indiana.

    Suspension Upgrades for SHO??

    Are the springs the sport (black) springs? Not sure I could lower the car much over 1.5" without some ground clearance issues. We have horrible roads around here. That said, I am definitely interested in them.
