That means sexy man pics of you posing in your banana hammock with the SHO.
But only share those with the ladies. We need more attention to the platform so the ladies know that there are hot men piloting these hot cars or ours.
Bwahahahaha.
But in all seriousness, good luck and continued successes with that venture. Lots of intense dedication, discipline, and training involved in that alone.
Surprised it affords you anytime whatsoever to monkey with the car.

Don't be surpised if you get those pictures in your inbox BPD! HAHA.
I wish more good looking ladies would take interest in our land yachts. That would be cool.
Sometimes strongman feels like another job. Between the gym, supplements, time, diet, travel, and just overall body punishment I still actually enjoy it. Working on/maintaining/detailing/thrashing the SHO is actually therapy for me so I make the time. I get up every morning before 4 am, so I have zero excuse not to keep up everything.
Thanks for the kind words guys.

You are 100% correct. Excuses are lies. I firmly believe in what Jocko Willink preaches. Discipline Equals Freedom. The more discipline you are, the more freedom you have. Hold yourself accountable and get after it.
I usually post everyday on my IG with some form of motivation for myself and others. Check it out. Instagram @therealamericasstrongestchef

For real... I want to see if it makes a bigger difference, or a smaller difference. I can't help but feel like the MKS grill is just massively inferior than the SHO grill in terms of letting air flow through the intercooler. The split wings means it's blocked right smack in the middle
Finally somewhere I can chime in! I fit the Gearhead intercooler into my 13 MKS and just picked it up today.
Long story short, another driver hit me. Insurance covered whole front clip, gearhead intercooler released about that time. Collision shop slapped it in for free because they already had the crash bar off. Shitty situation turned around 360
Decided on a clear bra and ceramic coating... so i had to sit for over a month with the intercooler installed and couldn’t test it (to let the paint cure).
Have a Livernois tune, and my butt dyno is very happy. Unfortunately because it was such a long wait, I’m full of “this is wild to drive” joy and dont have any quantitative comparisons yet. Turbo whistle is louder sooner, but haven’t been anywhere near heat soak conditions.
I have an SCT from a friend who no longer has his car that I’m looking for a way to unmarry, but planning to put a GearHead tune optimized for the intercooler soon.
Was laying down 12.9s in SE MI last September, I should have a test and tune day coming up in the next month or so...

If you don't have the original car to unmarry from, your best bet is to call SCT and pay to have it unlocked. Have you reached out to LMS to see what can be done to optimize the tune for the new intercooler? Another option and last I heard, they were offering up to $200 trade in for the old MyCal towards a new MyCal touch. I believe that'll give you an opportunity to datalog to improve the tune for the intercooler. Otherwise, GearHead is hard to beat and they've been laying down great numbers.fast1195 said:Finally somewhere I can chime in!
