What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

Side note... ordered PPE Catted DPs with the thermal coating the other day... pretty much ends the easy bolt on stuff...

Need to decide if I am gonna go any further... turbos would potentially be next, maybe a circle D torque converter, maybe just do both? Eventually a motor build would be required for safety...decisions decisions...

Scheduled to get the windows tinted on Monday...not go fast but needed...

Easy there tiger! I think you may have already exceeded your motor and trans/put power guidelines unless you threw that out the window

Just grab an upgraded HPFP... after that who cares about temps ;-) run one tune and call it a day...

This Firestorm pump just runs... upgraded IC installed.. E30(although I’m running probably E40 based on my trims). 10F outside... perfect fuel pressure all day long..

It’s just money....

Not everyone has another $1600 after buying the 800$ intercooler money bags lol

Gotta pay to play brother! Perhaps I’m jaded... with a wife and two kids I literally only have my car as a safe place to hide..

Yea... kinda threw the self imposed power cap out the window..

Sometimes the non-go fast additions, make the ride just as enjoyable as the actual go fast parts do.

All steps towards a total/complete build/package.

This is true! I have never invested any money into things that didn’t make the car I have owned go faster... always been focused on go fast mods..

For the SHO there isn’t a large supply of visual modifications... besides... advertising your Taurus is fast goes against what a SHO is...
 
Gotta get the 11.7 on stock hpfp before I go upgraded. Trust me it'll happen later this year lol. As for now we have a little something up my sleeve for this winter weather. Everyone complains about winter fuel mix, but I guess we just aren't having those issues. Feels really strong now and only on 93.

25 degrees ambient with IAT2 going from 50 to 39 degrees is really a torture test on the stock hpfp. Anyways props to Brad on this retuning project. Really been a learning experience for myself.

Holy crap.  That is awesome.
 
So fri night the big storm hit.  10" overnight.  Dug out and car drove right thru it to road just fine.  Backed up into where it was and left it parked.  I just barely understand diff between can and should...

A other 3" lastnight, but a mans gotta work to pay Bills...  most roads plowed, car handled just fine on packed snow ice, but I stayed reasonable knowing it is not setup for this sort of mayhem.

Embodies the spirit of the SHO in that way, and really, most Fords I have driven.  Never owned a "specialist" car, only cars I would drive under all conditions.  Never let me down.
 
Yeah, dumping again now.  Pretty wild weather cycle for us.  Drive home should be fun.

Thanks!

Yea, weird right? I have had over a dozen cars, never spent the money on tint...

I figured with all the easy modifications done performance wise.. might as well tent the windows lol..

That is actually really funny... my wife asked me if I was compensating for something... I reminded her she did agree to marry me...
