Not 100% sure if the SHO is the same behind the DS headlight.
Send me a few pictures.

H&R Springs installed!! Now, just waiting for everything to settle so I can have the alignment checked again. Love the look.. now I just need to pick out some new shoes for her.
not today but my battery finally gave out and I had to jump the car when leaving work on friday (sub zero wind chills, brrrr). I ended up getting an autocraft gold 850 cca for $118 at advance auto. i knew it was on its way out but was hoping it would last the winter, lesson learned. I think the cold is harder on batteries than the heat. When i lived in Phoenix my batteries always lasted 5+ years
Not this time around...SHOdded said:
I was very happy with my BND fluids but Amsoil is less than half the cost.
i really want to compare the PTU and RDU behavior with the Amsoil, the BND fluids impacted their performance noticeably and immediately on the 15.
I will probably order some ACES for some more testing in the spring.
I need to work on my Livelink-Fu a bit but I think I can actually put together some useful WOT data and actually quantify the KR before and after ACES.
If I can't figure it out in Livelink I will export the data and try it in Excel.
I think ACES is beneficial for some, probably not all. (corn users?)
My impression with ACES is that there are less KR events but when they do happen they are a little more severe. Nothing scary or dangerous. I''m talking part throttle transient KR which is pretty normal in these cars. I don't know which is more desirable or if it matters at all. I do like the thought of top end lubrication but I wonder what effect the corn has on it. (wash out?) Coincidentally I thought BP fuel behaved similarly.
I have been playing with some fuel additives and I want to mention I saw +7 transient PT KR running Marvel Mystery Oil in the gas tank. This happened driving in a blizzard with no aggressive throttle activity but I was in paddle mode for 2nd gear starts and engine braking. Consider also that I run straight E-85 and this is extremely unusual in my experiences.
Brian had mentioned that Shell V-Power w Nitro+ is kinda based on ACES, the Shell formulation being "weaker". Also in testing the naturally aspirated 3.5, I noticed a mild mpg gain, and an additional 3-5 degrees of spark advance consistently available.
MMO, I do not like nearly as much as TC-W3. Then again, behavior seems different in NA and forced induction engines, so ...
