Ford Taurus SHO Performance Chip - Model # ACD-339

Here is what they claim will happen. Up to 75 hp seems a bit


About the PowerMAX Performance Module:
Our Ford Taurus SHO Performance Chip utilizes the latest in performance technologiy. PowerMAX Chips send a unique modified signal through an engine data sensor. This signal causes your factory Engine Control Module to reprogram itself for a more efficient air/fuel ratio and timing curve. By doing so, we're able to safely unlock up to +75 Horsepower and up to +8 MPG in your vehicle!
Our modules never bypass, deactive, or exceed factory limitations. That being said, this is perhaps one of the safest upgrades you can do to your vehicle!

What should I expect after installation?
Up to +75 Horsepower
Up to +80 Ft.Lbs of Torque
Up to +8 MPG Fuel Savings
Feel the Horsepower & Torque across the entire rpm range
Improve your Towing Ability
Improve your Climbing and Passing Ability
Crisper Throttle Response
Better Fuel Economy
Help Smooth Out Your Rough Idle
Faster Off-The-Line Acceleration
DYNO Tested & Approved
Street Legal Worldwide
Saves MONEY Every Time You Fill Up Your Tank
Lifetime Replacement Warranty
100% Money-Back Guarantee!*

Call them and ask them what the wtf is a engine data sensor.

Call them and ask them what the wtf is a engine data sensor.

My guess it's a resistor for the coolant temperature sensor.

You can get a resistor from Radio Shack and have the same effect.

You could also leave it the way it is and have the same effect, too.

The key here is the 'Up to' phrasing. That also includes zero gain.

That is a lot for a resistor in a box. Complete crap.

If you want a chip we do have them: SHO Source

I am selling some wings built just for your vehicle. Made from the best corrugated material found around. I can a sure you they are safe. no one has ever been hurt when in flight with them. You will safely fly up to 1500 feet.

Dont get it. If you want to get a chip/lpm for your car contact shosource. I didnt look to see if yours was an atx/mtx or what mods you have. You usually dont see a big gain from chip/lpm unless you have quite a few mods. You can make improvements to the way an atx shifts with one. You can also make the a/f and timing more optimal which could give some more throttle response and help with drivability.

I would ask for a before and after dynosheet for their product. Actually the gains in peak power with a LPM is small. What you do get with an LPM is that you can install a 80mm Lincoln MAF for some airflow improvement, set your idle where you want it, set your rpm limiter where you want it, firm up the shifts and change the shift points (ATX). The more aggressive timing curve will make the engine much more responsive to throttle inputs. Actually the Tweecer RT is the best, but cost a lot more money.

When I first started modifying cars, I bought one for my old taurus. Those "modules" are B.S. and a waste of money. They are just a resistor that changes the signal from the Intake temp sensor to make the car "run better". It only actually does anything when its cold and the improvement is so small that it doesn't outweigh the hit to your gas mileage.
