Should you tune an SHO you daily?

[Seraphim312]

Trying to plan out a decent tune on my new 2016 SHO, the only thing im worried about is the wear on the car. I plan on using the car long term since it'll be my daily, so I would need to see what tuning method makes the least amount of stress on the engine.

I was thinking about the following
- 2.25 downpipes
- Magnaflow with resonator delete
- Airaid coldair intake
- thermostat
- 93 tune
- gearhead intercooler? (looking for advice or experience)
- coldair sparkplugs? (looking for advice or experience)

Anyone have any thoughts on this set up? Let me know what you think. Thanks in advance.

My first SHO I bought with 102K miles, tuned it around 110K and sold it with 170K miles never had a single issue with it. Current SHO bought with 32K miles tuned it immediately and daily drove it up until two summers ago when my job changed and I had to drive all day every day. I still put a little over 10-15K miles on it a year and wouldn't hesitate to drive it across the country if I needed to.


Regular oil changes with good quality oil are the most important thing you can do along with all the other fluids.


Sounds like you have a good plan mapped out already. One step colder plugs can be found here: https://www.ghtuning.com/product/ford-performance-ecoboost-m-12405-35t-gapped-spark-plugs-0-026-0-028/

Tune away.

If you  live near E85 and are in fear of a gas shortage. AJP turbo does a conservative E85 tune.
