Bought A Used 2015 Taurus SHO And I Think It Might Be Tuned...

[Soccerelvn]

So I bought a used 2015 SHO the other day and it felt very fast compared to what I had been seeing online for a stock SHO. I notice an Air Intake from AirRaid was installed and didn't think too much of it since that is usually the first mod a person would do outside of a tune. Well at this point I'm pretty confident it has a tune and maybe some other stuff done to it. I recorded a video of a quick 0-60 run with traction control off on a flat road.

Let me know what you think and any thoughts would be great, thanks!

that was what, just over 5 seconds 0-60? Isn't that stock?

Welcome and congrats on the new ride

I'd be surprised that if it is tuned, the previous owner didn't give you the programmer containing the "stock" file.

Your run starts right at :05 and you hit 60 around :10 seconds - it's very hard to get an exact time on a YouTube video but it's "around," 5 seconds and stock is 5.2. I don't think you have a tune. Any decent tune you'll be under 5 seconds easy.

I loaded it into Premiere to count the seconds and get a nearly exact time. I press the gas at 5:13 and it crosses the 60 mark at 9:29 which seems to give me a time of 4.2ish give or take a few milliseconds.

I bought it from a dealership and during the test drive the sales person seemed a bit surprised when I opened it up on the highway to see what it could do. Although he admitted he didn't really see a lot of SHOs come through. Now he wants one.

I'm trying to find a Dyno in my area so I can see what I'm starting with here, but finding one is harder than I thought it would be.

If the run was 4.2 is, then yes it is tuned. Where are you located?

 

[Soccerelvn]

Oh I almost forgot, here are the frames I took from the video to attempt to get as accurate a time as I could. Let me know what you think, thanks!

 

[Soccerelvn]

I'm located in northern Maryland right next to Delaware. I'm probably 45 minutes from Philadelphia and I figured there is probably a Dyno there somewhere.

 

[OmaHahn]

Can you do that with my video on YouTube to compare? I have a video of a 0-60 run with my previous LMS 93 octane tune...

 

[Soccerelvn]

Yeah I can do that for you, which video is it?

 

[krewat]

So how would this work? Get a new tuner, that downloads the "stock" flash (tuned) and be able to switch back and forth?

 

[OmaHahn]

NICE! That 1st place is only $120 for AWD - wonder how many runs you get? My local shop is normally $175 for 3 AWD runs, but my friend owns it but still charges me $140 for 3 runs.

Thanks, I'll check them out to see which one is closer and get this thing checked out!

OmaHahn this is what I got for your video.

Is that 4.25 seconds?

 

[Soccerelvn]

Is that 4.25 seconds?

Looks to be around there. I'm sure there is a margin of error with this method, but it's the best way I can come up with to see times without plugging something into the car to test with.

Pretty good run though!

Your car should make 350 ish hp and 390 ish tq to the tire. Calling my shot.
