Sorry, J =(
Welp got started on the weight reduction for this time around. Planning on tin canning the car. Anything that I can get out is coming out. Already got the rear seat, all the trunk stuff and some misc plastic bits. Spent <15minutes on that stuff. Going to continue tomorrow after work and get some other things going. Then the scraping for little bits comes around. Want to do a glory run if I can before I go upgraded HPFP.

I'm very curious how much you can gain from this! Don't sell yourself short though. Isnt a glory run literally 1 pass down the track? Then its not a glory run if you do multiple passes. This is what test and tune days are all about IMHO and a shortcut to exceed the limitations of our inferior stock transmission. If this was a fully built car this would be the first ever 10 sec pass accomplished with stock transmission. Line up all the built SHO's and run them down the track. The lightest SHO will hold the title all day long. And if it's fully built its already exceeded its purpose of a family sedan so applying weight reduction at that point is no harm no foul in my book. Merely for title purposes that will be the one. And if it's all about title then one can dismiss whether or not it also wins in popularity. It doesn't matter if you win at full weight or lightweight.

Thank you for that.sm105k said:
My inspiration is that goof ball Zach and his older GEN SHO affectionately dubbed "The Blue Turd". Impressive what he's accomplished thus far with that build.
I always love the "That's a TAURUS!?!?!" comment.
With all the chatter of WR & (possible) new records being set this season.....
It is providing the very foundation for me to up the ante with my newest installs (currently occurring) as well as the impending dyno session, to probe even deeper into the 11's myself.
Gonna be fun and I tip my hat to all those pushing the platform. Always fun. Always exciting.

Someone is always chasing someone, that is the beauty of life. Without competition and pushing of limits, life would suck.
Keep pushing the bar brother, because there will always be someone like me trying to catch up.
On a side note, there is a Salerno's here in PHX!
I'd say fastest tune only SHO in the world is a helluva accomplishment.802SHO said:Jordan said:
Lol I forgot about the license plate ...guess my jackassery (as ShoNoff calls it) was brilliant. Good luck brother! I'm hoping you beat me and William to be at least 2nd World's Fastest Ecoboost SHO! Rally forthCaptain Jordan Hook

Sucks to hear Jordan. The weather in the Midwest has been less than stellar for sure.
Luckily you can keep her stripped down in the meantime.
@ FoMoCo......
Not really "tune only" as J's running catless down pipes, the new J2 dual intake, 3 bar MapV, and NGK plugs.
But it'll still be fun find out what he accomplishes when the weather breaks!
