geswek Posted May 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I wonder though; at 380awhp what would MPG be like for casual driving? I know if you have a heavy foot it's going to be horrible--but do we go from 18mpg to 12mpg? Anyone here have close to 380awhp and can comment?What are you getting on normal non-track days?

geswek Posted May 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I got my quote from LMS; CAI, Exhaust, Downpipes, Meth, Thermo, Tuner; baseline dyno and after tune dyno -- $7700 ish. Now to determine if the meth is something I want to do -- few of you running it have me leaning towards a yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott13SHO Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 I drive sensible but there are days when I just want to stick my middle finger out at the little pissant children in their rice burners and have them cry because their 20k car just got slammed by a Taurus SHO. Haha. The issue is that the vast majority of ricers you're talking about are all show and no go. A stock SHO should have no problems taking them on. Heck a 412HP Mustang GT runs about high 12-low 13 second quarter mile time and well some SHOs can see that with a tune and CAI... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkside Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 I would recommend adding mods on slowly rather than jumping all in. You might find your perfect combination for alot less money than you think. Each car is going to be a little different and react different to mods. My 13' recently dynoed at 310 at the wheels stock at Livernois. While it felt strong stock its an entire different car with their tune and cai.

geswek Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Did they build a tune specifically for you or was it an off-shelf tune? I'm planning to do it pieces; intake/exhaust/tune first. I'll look at turbos and meth later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild13EcoBoost Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 If someone wanted to go with meth kit will Livernois need to do a custom tune or do they have a canned tune for this setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Ideally a custom tune would be best, they do have canned tunes that do work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdeprato Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Torrie uses a canned tune and then you do data logging and you send back and he does even more tweaking to better dial you in. Livernois will probably do the same I would guess if you couldn't bring it in for a dyno tune. That being said a dyno tune will get you there much faster than sending in logs.
