Slowsho Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Hey everyone names Jimmy just got myself into a Silver 2010 Taurus SHO 402A non-PP. Love it so far, find something new about the car everyday. Excited to get a intake/tune this coming spring(maybe sooner :RpS_cool: ). Got a pretty good deal on it. I traded in my 2010 Mazdaspeed3 for 18,300 and got the SHO for about 24k and some change. The SHO has 44k on it i was surprised how low it was but then realized its at a toyota dealer and they wanted it off the lot :eyebrows:. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowsho Posted November 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Thanks guys! Yea alot of reading to do. Im very active on the Mazdaspeedforums had my old car pretty bolted up with E85 so i cant wait to get a few mods on this car. Seeing that pretty much a good starting point is intake/tune. Is it fine to have just a intake with out a tune? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tss Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 A CAI without a tune is fine. And, according to Rick at LMS, the existence of a cold air intake, alone, does not change their tuning. I did it in reverse. First I got the tune, and then the cold air intake. Rick said that I did not need to adjust my tune after getting the cold air intake.

BombshellSteph Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Hi and welcome! Finally someone else in the MA/RI area with a SHO. I don't see them very often up this way. I get so excited when I see a Taurus and I speed up to see if it's a SHO... always a Limited or lower... I currently am running with just an Airaid CAI without tunes and it works fine. I won't be tuning the car until spring only because with the weather being how it is lately (snow today... yay.... ) and it's my DD/mom-mobile, I just don't want the temptation or risk with my girls in the car.

BombshellSteph Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Any of you folks happen to go to UMASS by chance? (UMASS- Amherst; 1991). Nope. I didn't even graduate high school until 2002 and can't even tell you what I was doing in '91 but I'm sure My Little Pony was involved.
