geswek Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I was in Livonia on business this past week and had a chance to stop by and see Dan and boys at Livernois; was a good time. While I was out of town I dropped my car off at my buddies shop to get the wheels stripped and powdercoated matte black; winter tore them up. I also had the rest of my gauges installed after some custom work was completed. She is looking DAMN good this year and I'm stoked. I got couple weeks then I'll have the transmission and PTU flushed, 030 plugs installed, 3 bar, and 160 stat; ready for some LMS V8 3-bar action; new dyno and new 1/4 slips. I'm hoping to hold solid 12.5's now or lower; the boys at LMS were quite impressed with how well my engine is handling without turbos or meth; might just have a rare breed here since others with same mods are not able to get into the 12.5's with me. I was planning to put turbos and meth in but have decided next year I'm going to pick up a used 2013 GT500 to track and keep my SHO has my daily driver (which is is now.) 2013 Ford Taurus SHO 3.5L Twin Turbo V6 Ecoboost 14PSI Max 3.16 AWD Track Performance Package Modifications: » Airaid Intake » Autometer Elite Boost and AFR » Autometer Elite EGT (each turbo) and Oil Pressure » Corsa Performance Exhaust Cat Back » Custom A-Pillar and Center Dash Gauge Pods » ExtremeContact DSW 245/45R20 » H&R Lowering Springs » LED Interior » PPE Engineering Catted Downpipes » TSW Nurburgring Matte Black 20X8.5 Special thanks to the following: Cecil County Dragway, Rising Sun, MD 1/4 Mile: 12.5 at 113 MPH FAST, West Chester, PA Installed all aftermarket parts Livernois Motorsports, Dearborn Heights, MI Engine Tuning; 93 Octane V8 R/T Tuning, Lansdale, PA Dyno: 367AWHP and 478AWTQ Enjoy the photos and click link for more.

Guest Guest Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I'd bet on it. And I don't bet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geswek Posted May 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I'd bet on it. And I don't bet! I'm crossing my fingers; it would be awesome to win. My buddy went down last year and he said that the SHO's that showed up had zero modifications; this was already after I did the mods.

mjhpadi Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 You are aware that Mike is coming and trailering his car, so you will have some stiff competition from him...but good luck, and it will be great to finally meet you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpd1151 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 I'm not match for Mike; he has far too many stickers than I. Ahem, I beg to differ. If you recall, I've since removed nearly all of them. TYVM. But regardless of your ribbing, I know you're just mess'n, which is cool. On a serious note however, lov'n your newly PC'd TSW's...... They turned out even better than what I was anticipating.
