What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

In for a fight UGH

I dunno yet...I’ve got a lot of stuff on my plate. While this is extremely disappointing... I’m not sure if I am gonna stress myself out about it. The body shop said that all work and paint come with a lifetime warranty.


Sleeping on it... in other news called LMS and got a ROM pricing on my next project.... let’s hope the stocks continue to do well.

Cody at LMS said if I wanted too, and had the money... they would help get the transmission shop they work with to see what they can do...

That to me would be worth more than a motor build to start...

Get it safe to handle the power... then bring the power on :-)

Yup logical way to proceed.  If the trans can handle the power you want it to, then you can invest in an engine build.  That was your stumbling block with the 2010 anyway.
 
If you have the time to take a ride to the HEART OF ME and take a first Hand look to see exactly what they have to offer!  Z  :)

Thats the limitation for every one... The engine can handle 500/500 but the transmission/ptu/rdu setup cannot. At least from what I understand talking to LMS, Supersix, and most of the tuners.  Seems like most tuners don't want to go above 450tq.. exceptions being BPD1151.

The race series block from LMS can take over 900hp... but who cares if I can't run much over 500 due to the limitations of the drive train. Hoping to get that straightened out first... assuming financials allow it.
 
On a side note... with the SHO back in my possession it got a solid detail, all the go fast parts put back on, loaded the LMS E30 tune, converted to VTA(Couldn't help myself... ), and dressed up the airaid with some foam for a better seal along with some reflective/insulation tape to help IAT's.

Debating on downpipes... dealer said they wouldn't care.. but after this goat rope.. not sure I want to go back to them lol...
 
Gave the beast a proper chance to stretch her legs with a long road trip.  Took wife and oldest son up to Vancouver.  Car ran like a top, I was sitting 25.5mpg when we hit the border going north, then lost 2.5mpg sitting idling in wait to cross the border for an hour.  Traffic was moving just often enough that I could not shut down.  :-/ 
Thankfully the wait coming back was much shorter.

Ended the trip with 24.8mpg and that was running not so efficient a speed and a bit of climbing up and down a good bit of hills.  Pretty happy with the result.  If not for the wait going north I probably would have been @ 25.5+ for the trip.  Not bad for a souped up 4400# sedan.

Finally we get to see the unveiling of your Flex! Sweeeeeeet.  Z  :thumb:
 
Reconnected my PTU vent tube the dealer left off, fixed a meth leak at my inline filter and put my Advanti wheels on the new car. Not sure if I'm sold on the silver and burgundy yet. I think it'll grow on me.

Good looking set of wheels.!

Take a piece of advice, stay up on keeping them clean!  rinse or use cleaner on them all the time, maybe every 2 weeks at most depending on your commute/braking.  I have had my polished wheels a month and they started to turn grey from brake dust up front, it was a PITA to clean.  Rears with less dust were super simple.  I plan to stay much more ontop of cleaning the fronts from now on, even if it is all I clean just to stay ahead of the buildup so it does not set in.
