So I bought the OBD Link MX and I can find no information on items that can be changed on my 2010 SHO so I was hoping that there was some sort of database of things that can be done to tweak on my car as I can find plenty for my explorer but nothing on the Taurus.

Also a side note that I am pretty disappointed on the Torque Pro times as I pulled a 5.3 0-60 on my tune but I will continue to log and get that tweaked but I have no clue how accurate the Torque app is. Any direction would be greatly appreciated as I venture into this new venture on modding my car. Thanks in advance.

Everytime latley I log 0_60 tell me 12 seconds but if I manually time it is about 5.5 seconds

The Torque app is a bit inaccurate - When I had my 2013, I timed it with Torque, and with my SCT X3 using my own custom script that sampled the logged data saved from the app and showed 0-60 (and 0-100) times.

The SCT timestamps were something like in the milliseconds, Torque was like .25 (those are not exact values, but you get the idea - from 1/10ths of a second, to .001 accuracy.

I didn't have Torque itself directly read 0-60 (I don't think it had that at the time, or maybe I didn't realize it), but the data logging timestamps were a bit all over the place. It's great for simple data logging, but if you want timing accuracy, you're better off using something like the SCT X-series tuner, or some other direct-connect-to-laptop hardware.

Besides the inaccurate timestamps to begin with, whatever you're running Torque on might be the issue - try a different phone, or better, a tablet that doesn't have email setup or any other CPU-wasting apps.

As for Forscan, I've never looked into the earlier Taurus's. Not sure how much you can twiddle in a 2010.
