Hello from Alabama.  I look forward to getting to know some of you and contributing hopefully as well.
 
Welcome aboard the E.B.P.F PARTNER, great lookin ride you have there,also a very rare color,think less than 300 were made that year,and BTW any questions you may have you can always feel free to ask and best of luck with the new ride.  Z
 
Welcome to EBPF!!!  Glad to see another lost legend in our midst :thumb:  How long have you owned the SHO?  Prev ride (s)?
 
Thanks guys, I'm loving it so far. It's the biggest car I've owned but I'm a family man now, just still have the need for speed. I already have plans for mods. My previous cars are, 11 mustang gt premium, 07 Acura TL type s and a mazdaspeed6 to name the last few. All modded, the ms6 very heavily and self tuned. I wish I could tune this one but I'm leaning toward Torrie for a few reasons. I do have a question, intake, power adder or just better noise?

For any practical purpose sound and eye candy... It is possible decrease your performance.... Unless the saxophone is removed.  The stock box and OEM filter are essentially equal (+/- 2-3 AWHP) to absolutely no filter box or filter when we compared the two on the dyno using my car... Just don't slow yourself down while your looking good!
 
Welcome, love the green!  I've only seen one in person, was  a long time ago.

I'm happy with Unleashed, car feels like a rocket.  Can't go wrong with Torrie or LMS, IMO.  If you go intake, go with MDesign. Just looks way better. 

Going with LED lights on puddles, license plate, and all interior really gives it a higher end look.

That's what I thought, I know unless you change the diameter of the maf you're not getting much if any power. I may do a drop in filter but that be it. I have the 170 tstat, cooler plugs and tune in the shopping cart right now 😁😁.

Will I always have to answer those questions before every post?

No, they are temporary so we can make sure you are not a naughty spam bot.
 
Yea, it stopped now.  I was starting to get aggravated on my iPad last night ha. 

How hard is the t-stat and plug change?

Awesome.

I will defer your question to someone who still wrenches on their car.

Pretty easy if you have ever done then before.  Worst part is getting the coolant system to completely burp

How did you go about it?  Funnel in radiator cap with coolant in it while it ran?  Last few t-stat changes i did, i didn't burp the system...

There's not a cap on the radiator...
Be careful of tightening the steel plugs to tightly into the aluminum heads... Rec torque is like in inch-pounds.
