0-60 times off on 2011 SHO

[SilverSH0]

I have the code aa5a-9f479-ab So I guess I have a 2 bar

My guess would be that you're not tuned as nearly everyone who tunes also gets a 3 bar sensor. Before taking it to the dealer to see if they can flash a stock tune I would see if they can hook up the car to see if it's on a stock tune or not.

*EDIT* I redact the statement as I didn't check the numbers and just went with your statement.

No ... you have a 3 bar. Post a pic of your MAP sensor to confirm.

Well it definitely has a tune. It would not run with a 3 bar installed unless it was tuned for it. It would be interesting to know whose tune it is but there is likely no way to find out unless you can speak to the previous owner. If you have a dealer return it to stock, you will need to replace that 3 bar with a 2 bar.

Question for anyone: Could he just contact Livernois or Unleashed, purchase their tuner and tunes and simply override what he has without returning it to stock??? As I see it, the issue with that is that he would not have a stock tune at all. Correct?

Unleashed uses the SCT tuner, which makes a copy of the "stock" tune on the car now.

However, my understanding, LMS just uses a canned stock tune (for the particular strategy) already loaded on the tuner for the buyer. The tuner doesn't need to copy the stock tune that's in the car before loading the LMS tune. Correct me if I'm wrong.

So, given the facts here, I would go with LMS. You get a copy of the stock tune from them, along with their tunes, and save the $80 to the dealer .... not to mention the warranty concerns the OP expressed.

I talked to the dealer and it was tuned, it doesn't have the colder thermostat, but the map is 3bar as has been said
The car is clearly not running right so I need to get something that can figure out why.

The service manager said if I bring it back here for service they will work with the warranty people to make sure it's honored. The finance manager who sold me the warranty just assured me it's no issue.
According to the dealer the car has a livernois intake a high flow exhaust including the cats,colder plugs and a 3 bar MAP. The only thing missing is the TSTAT. If I don't need to go stock I'm thinking about going with unleashed so that I can data log and the 200$ price difference

I guess I would want to have the stock tune available on my tuner but I am not sure how you would get that now. If the car is not running right, it would be easier to diagnose any issues with the car in stock tune - thus eliminating any issues with the performance tune.

Since the car has a Livernois branded intake, I wonder if it also has a Livernois tune. Is there a way you can contact the previous owner and obtain some background and possibly the tuning device used? The dealer probably will not provide that info due to privacy concerns but they could contact the previous owner and ask him/her for permission to give you the contact info. I have done that with previous used car purchases.

The only problem there is that I don't have the parts to return the car to stock

If I did I'd let the dealer reflash

Hi,
So i bought my 2011 SHO last thursday.
I tested the 0-60 times yesterday and again today. Yesterday i managed a best of 5.8, Brake bossting with TCC off. Today, from a 2mph roll stop i managed a time of 6.1, then on the second try dead stop i got 6.4 .

What could be causing me to have such lousy times? I bought a SHO hoping to be in V8 Mustang territory, not V6 Camry land. (2015 camry v6 is 5.9 to 60)

The car has a LiverNoise intake on it (wished id noticed that before buying it)
I checked the Boost using torque and i got a "max" of 16 psi, but it usually stayed around 12.5-14
I have no idea if these are standard figures or not. I do know the stock MAP is supposedly limited to 14.5

Id does feel like it pulls some boost on 2nd and 3rd runs and the times support this.

I have virtually no wheelspin unless i brake boost.

I am 300lbs, but considering thats only about 100-120 over the average driver, i shouldnt be able to pull a second off the 0-60 times. especially in a 4400lb car

I am running 87 tonight, yesterday i had most of a tank of premium, however the dealer filled it with 87.
I havent seen any thing saying that i should be running 93.

The trans is a little wonky in higher gears, but its fine 1st -2nd.



Sorry for the long rambling post, but im really disappointed, I bypassed the chance to buy a 335i that i know was clicking to 60 in 5.1. I plan to mod, but i dont want to start off just trying to match stock.

Thanks

I know this is an older thread but what did you end up doing with your Taurus as far as improving performance? Quick questions since I thought all 6th generation SHO were all wheel drive, did you also say that you were able to break boost and also been tires if you want careful?
