New To SHO Performance

[M1T]

I'm new to the SHO but not new to performance cars or forced induction. I currently have a 95 Mustang GT with a supercharged big bore 347 stroked making 646 whp. I bought a 2012 non pp SHO with 40k on it. I instantly fell in love with the awd ecoboost. It's my fast daily driver couch! I have LMS CAI, no cat dp's, 3 bar map, 170 tstat, plugs, stage 4 93 plus race tune, OBX catback(works and sounds awesome for price), brad penn 5w-30 oil, jlt catch can, vented oil cap, h&r springs and 255/40/20 federal evoluzion st-1 tires. I think that's everything! This car rips! I upset a lot of people with it! I have the LMS meth kit and tune on the way. I haven't had a chance to run it at the strip yet. I have a set of CR billet wheels for it and plan on getting the LMS hpfp. I'd like to see how much a awhp I can make on "stock turbos".

Welcome to the community, and congrats on the new ride!

Thank you! I love it! I've always wanted one since they announced it 2009. I just couldn't swing $40k for a dd. I found this stock gem for $15900! I feel like I stole it! It was super clean, unmolested with 40k on it.

Welcome and congrats! I answered in part on the other post...

With Meth on the 2012 with those mods and LMS Meth tune... probably a bit over 400 awhp and close to 450awtq...

With a good track and DA depending on the car... 12.2 to 12.4 should be doable in the 1/4 with the LMS tune... I had the same setup and ran 12.4’s consistently while spinning...

Nice! I guess my overall goal is to crack into the 11's without going to the atp turbos and stock internals. I don't even care if it's an 11.99!

Its do-able for sure.. but you will need to get a different tuner to do it. I don't think there is a single LMS tuned car that hit 11's without upgraded snails.

Really, why is that? Do they run way too conservative? I do think my current tune is pig rich. Low 10 afr's. I've always run 11-11.5 with my other cars to be safe without washing down the cylinders.

LMS doesn’t like to produce tunes that push components to where they are most likely going to break I don’t think.

They do run richer than any other tuner, but they being said.. their 93 octane tune and other tuners 93 octane tunes that run 11.5 AFRs run almost identical times.

Only one guy I knew who could hit 11’s consistently with his SHO on stock turbos. He was running meth, spark was hitting 26* uptop and was holding 15psi all the way through redline. And he could drive like a ****...

If you really want to, it might be worth a drive to LMS to talk to them about what your goal is, and see if they are willing to push it.

Yes, I'm thinking the same thing. I just got my meth kit and I assumed the directions would be more vehicle specific. The pics in the directions are all grand natty pics. I'm sure I could figure it out if I had the time but I work 7 days a week. Not a whole bunch of time to work on my cars.

Look up BPD1151 install instructions... well documented.
