Got a hearty laugh out of this email I recieved today (see attached screenshot).
Top dollar they say, huh? LOL
Wonder how much a shell of a 2010 Taurus SHO runs for nowadays? She has a great audio set up in her, and a slew of other new parts to boot.
But missing an engine and trans seems would diminish their "top dollar" offer. Ha!
If I wasn't so busy today, I'd chuck down a few more beers and call them up just for entertainment purposes mind you.
Just wanted to share the laugh.

Well now. It's been a long minute since I've updated all here.
But I was graciously "allowed" to stop by the engine builder's facility today.
Prior to stopping by, I was asked to bring the following over to the shop:
GH upgraded TC
Reactor Products 1 off custom flywheel
The XDI HPFP60
Which, I must say, that request alone was exciting in and of itself. Why?
Well sh!t on me, that's forward progress lady's and gentlemen.
That said, I also was told that a yet to be disclosed product had arrived recently as well. These are new to the market (like new being within the last 8mo.'s or so).
No f**king specs or details (purposely done so).....however, the pics speak for themselves as far as the observable differences! Ha!
I'm *ABSOLUTELY CONFIDENT* these will facilitate me recapturing *BOTH* the speed, and the power records that I previously held for many years.
No dyno queen here biotches. This s***'s for real, and it's gonna happen. Rest assured on that.
That said, onto the updated pics for all of you whores to ogle at.....
muahahahaha
Engine pics 1st. Then a side by side comparo of the ATP turbo's, next to the new "big boy" turbos from GARRETT. As well as a couple of up close and personal pics of the new "big boy" turbos as well.

I have to say, lol I have never seen so much ***ing words from you in the last few years. Now I know your getting excited to get her back together!! Cant wait!

Whoring myself out once again (& perfectly happy to do so).....
Took advantage of the incredibly nice weather this weekend (Summer of 2020's likely last gasp here in the Midwest) to install my current engine builder's company logo (Max Power Automotive) onto the rear of my SHO's windshield.
Kind of challenging to take proper pics, as there's not much room behind the car and where it's positioned within my garage.
But one gets the point.
Anyhow, should be good for like 100hp+ right?
Bwahahahahaha

As big as it is I would imagine it's good for closer to +150 at the wheel.
Is there a certain amount of time your required to have that sunshade on there? Lol That's the largest "decal" I've seen on a rear windowbpd1151 said:10/10/2020......

Not sure about that.
I actually like the chrome.
It's small enough to not be so overwhelming, but more complimentary in design.
It plays off the exhaust tips, and the center caps on the TSW wheels, to tie it in altogether so to speak. Albeit in a subtle way at that.
Appreciate the suggestion though.

Not a big update by any means, but I was able to exchange a few texts with Uwe Ostmann over at XDI this morning. Asked him to "take my money" which he obliged and invoiced me accordingly. So the new XDI Injectors have been paid for.
Also, chatted with the engine builder as well recently. He's in the process of making room in his shop in order to accept the shell of my car to be housed there and some assembly / install work being able to begin.
Hoping to get the car out of my garage, and towed over there sometime in November. Certainly hoping to get it there before any snow flies in my area.
So that is all. Hope everyone's well. Seems like the COVID-19 #'s are going up all over the country. Yikes. Not a good sign. But in my own very light research, as it relates to the history of pandemics, there's not once been a "3rd wave". Ever. Of any kind of pandemic.
So hopefully all of us everywhere can manage through what is appearing to be the onset of the "2nd wave" and we can all come out of it ok.
fingers crossed
