    700whp 1995 Taurus SHO

    Awesome, thank you! We knew FWD and the unprepped surface would not be in our favor, but we thought we'd have significantly better weather with a shot of running the other cars down on the top end.

    700whp 1995 Taurus SHO

    With the new, beta firmware from. AEM, we've done an event without cam errors! Now we get to start seeing what the car takes. We were out at Street Car Takeover Atlanta this past weekend and set another personal best at 9.3 @ 163 mph! If you caught us on Netflix's Fastest Car, our showing...

    700whp 1995 Taurus SHO

    Be sure to check us out on Netflix's Fastest Car season 2! We didn't have a good showing, but the odds were stacked against with the weather. It was like 38 degrees and started raining just before the race. They also would not let us test the 2-step that day... I pulled it back, but we still...

    700whp 1995 Taurus SHO

    Still at it. Zach towed the car from Atlanta to Denver, where I live to run Street Car Takeover with the intent to get the 9 second pass. First pass, he wanted me to raise the boost (22 ramping to 24 PSI above 6.5k RPM - we made 830whp at 20 PSI) and annihilate a 9 second pass... But we...

    Zach knows him as well. It was a good race up to the 1/8, then someone lit the rockets. The motor isn't done yet. It's going back together with some replacement rods and copper gaskets. We are pretty determined to run a 9 on this motor with mostly stock parts. I've made a few changes to the...

    That last pass was on track for 9's, but the stock graphite gaskets have limited passes. It pushed two fire rings out of the way and sucked water, so this happened. He's got new, copper gaskets coming and two rods to replace and we are still going to use this motor to get the firs 9!

    It's not mine, I just tune it... But I'll let Zach know. Thanks!

    700whp 1995 Taurus SHO

    So, the car was actually running 27 PSI this when we started using the higher maps. 1st pass: Let out as he saw the hood pop - 11.5 2nd pass @ 13 PSI: 3rd pass @ a slow ramping 27 PSI: 4th pass @ faster ramping 27 PSI (but experienced drop and rise - The track produced loads we could...

    The car will make some passes at Street Car Takevover - Atlanta this weekend. We'll see how it holds up... Traction will be an issue until we get the wheel speed sensors in to enable traction control. For now, the 2-step is working. :)

    700whp 1995 Taurus SHO

    Stock rods are pretty damn strong... This is his old NA build. He has an O-ring'd, aluminum rod motor ready to go after we blow this motor. At that point we are going for 1,000whp. He got the clutch done and took it for a spin...

    Still can't say I know it... And I know a lot of fast SHO's.

    I can't say I've ever heard of that and I've been involved with nearly all the fast SHO's to some extent.

    700whp 1995 Taurus SHO

    Everything has a price... I doubt he'd sell for less than I sold it to him and well, I bought a mint 28k mile S2000 for less money right after I sold it. :) I then turned it into a track car

    700whp 1995 Taurus SHO

    He's got straight cut gears and has reinforced the bell housing. The plan is to go to a Honda transmission when needed. Haha, Cardomain... That turned into a shitty site. I sold my car in 2013 to another SHO Forum guy and good friend He's put like 250 miles on it since. I loved they way it...

    700whp 1995 Taurus SHO

    Thought I'd share a pretty unique, old school Taurus SHO. I don't own the car (the owner is a friend), just tune it and I've been into SHO's for many years. This is a car we've been working together on for quite a few years (5? 6?... I'd have to look back). The original goal was to be the...

    E85 Taurus SHO vs E85 WRX

    Not the coolest of videos as I was just wanting to get some exhaust notes on video, but my buddy did get on it with me during one of my pulls and I was happy with the outcome. Quick notes on mods: 1995 Taurus SHO - Forged 3.2L, Vortech T-trim @ 16 PSI, Water-meth injection, 3" exhaust...

    Got a new exhaust, thought I'd post a video.

    For awhile now, I have wanted to get rid of the rear Y and two mufflers in favor of a single 3" muffler. I figured this would remove some weight ~15lbs and flow better as the previous exhaust shop just butted the 3" pipe into the side of the 2.5" pipe and Y'd it out. I was really worried it...

    CCW 3-piece INNER barrels

    I am going to widen my front wheels, so I have two INNER barrels for CCW wheels. The barrels are for 17" diameter (30 bolt) wheels and are 6.5" wide. The barrels are in decent condition. They could use a quck polish and wax, but they are also inner barrels, so they'll likely not show anyway...

    New dyno numbers... Still more power to be had!

    Today a couple of my buddies and I took our cars to the dyno. My buddy Terry and I brought our SHO's and Pat brought his Dinan 750iL. I had a good time despite it being a little cold. I find that my bypass/BOV was opening after 7,000 RPM on my first run. I disconnected the blower side of...
