So what did you do to your SHO today!?

[StealBlueSho]

Still waiting on the arrival of the COP's from MSD to arrive.

Order's been placed for the Deatsch-Werks high flow injectors as well.

Also ordered up MONROE replacement set(s) of BOTH hood struts/lifts, AND trunk lid struts/lifts today to replace my 8yr old, failing OE ones after spending several hours searching for Ford Performance/Racing branded ones.

Last item to purchase and set aside money for is the LMS HPFP, & more time on their dyno for (yet more) custom tuning.

Busy, but fun day.

Excited for the new developments. But I am assuming these parts are more safety and efficiency as you are already pushing the Trans/PTU/RDU to the limit.

Correct.

However, the caveat being that all those parts will be necessary anyhow, once I do cross that bridge when the trans will be enhanced, redone, or however you want to state it.

But at least in the short term, YES! Added safety blanket so to speak as it pertains to the fueling, etc.

Again, as I've stated all along..... all pieces of the mod puzzle.

Ha! Way to go there Tim!

Although speaking from personal experience, you may want to insure your presence as well when that surprise does occur.....

Simply to make sure the Wife doesn't reject the delivery altogether.

**cringes for you**

 

[Tim Brand]

she wouldn't do that... wait dam now I gotta tell her. love your car man she is a sweet machine, do you have videos of that on youtube by chance, only asking cuz I thought I seen a video with that your car in it?

 

[bpd1151]

Lovve your car man. She is a sweet machine.

Do you have videos of that on YouTube by chance?

Plenty of them.

Search up my user name there, which is the same as it is here.

If you have problems, LMK (shoot me a PM) & I'll send 'ya direct links.

Thnx 4 the props on my whip. I've only done my best to try and emulate all of you previous GEN owners, & rep the platform to the best of my abilities.

If it wasn't for you, and ALL THE OTHER previous GEN owners, I wouldn't own what I do.

So big thanks respectfully.

Fixed a strip of bum LED's behind the air filter, which I discovered went bad during/at the National's.

Before strip showing vertical part out, After pic showing whole new strip installed.

Also, had to come up with a temporary engine hood support so I could do the work above, until my new/replacement hood props/struts arrive.

Kind of hillbilly-ish, but meh, it works.

Speaking of arrival(s) got confirmation that my MSD order is arriving tomorrow 06/11, as well as the bigger injectors too.

More pics forthcoming. Like Christmas in June! Haha.

I added the all wheel drive meter using forscan today. Got the windows tinted yesterday.

 

[bpd1151]

MSD Coil Over Plugs (COP's) arrived just now.

Part # 825765 (in blue).

These will replace my factory, OEM ones installed at the assembly line 8yrs ago.

Car now has a tick over 80k on the clock.

OEM one's are still working fine. I just like the piece of mind knowing they're being updated/upgraded.

 

[Matt M PA]

Got my new wheels on!! I really think they make a huge difference!
Now I'd like to find a way to make the center caps look more factory...

I should also ask.....anyone have an idea of what the factory wheels may be worth? I'd be glad for them to find a new home.

 

[bpd1151]

The new, higher flow injectors from Deatschwerks arrived today as well.

Great things come in small packages they say!

A few pics of the goods, as well as a flow chart for all you data minded *****$.

LOL @ the "super ****". Hopefully I'll have some of that left over. Tee hee hee.

Are those the 3wire versions? As far as I know, the 2010-12 are 2wire c.o.p.

The ones Mike ordered are the 3 wire version. I am unsure which ones he needs since he has a 2013(I think) block in his...

Not sure if during the motor build they updated the wiring harness??

If not... the ones he needs are...

These ARE the 3 pin.

And yes, I was under the same presumption about the 2 pin versus 3 pin.

I physically went out and verified mine were/are 3 pin, prior to purchasing.

Not sure where that info came from to cause the confusion it has/did.

 

[bpd1151]

The heart of my block is a 2014 production run/year.

Not entirely sure if that is the cause for the differentiation, or not.

Suffice to say, I ordered what I needed.

Oh aight. My 2010 is definitely 2 wire. So maybe you received the 3wire as part of your sho's heart transplant.

And myself.lol Because the 2 wires are only available in red. I would like blue as well. Maybe BDP knew something I did not.

[bpd1151]

Yea, I appreciate it.

Funny because I was under the same operating presumption (of the 2 pin for '10 - '12 model years) but my gut told me to double check and verify for myself.

So glad I did.

Can’t see the wheels at this time won’t show up says there is an error idk. But I know you can definitely find some centers. I changed my tsw to ford ones not oem though still look good though. I have 19s on mine I took the centers from my limited factory wheels and they fit perfect on the tsw. Then I traded the limited for the sho and forgot to keep the centers so I went on eBay and found some. Gotta measure them. There is a lot of different sizes. Can’t wait to see your wheels. I would keep the factory wheels !
