A SHO faster than a Z06, Shelby GT500 AND a GTR!?!
LOL, ALL replacement parts are expensive! That short list is NOT even 75% everything that the car has on it. It has our completed Race Series engine, turbos, methanol and about a grocery list of other mods that are not there. You hit the nail on the head...the fact is that you can make...- Livernois

A SHO faster than a Z06, Shelby GT500 AND a GTR!?!
Keep in mind that most of the "one-off" parts are now readily available parts. Thus the cost of that car's build There are also several parts that we probably do differently now for peak performance: S&B Performance air filter- Windstorm CAI Power Slot Performance Slotted Rotors- Wilwood kit...- Livernois

A SHO faster than a Z06, Shelby GT500 AND a GTR!?!
I am going to have to respectfully disagree with that statement. Even the RS7 a step below Audi's hypercar is slower in the 1/4 mile than this SHO. It also carries a price tag of about twice the cost of this car AND its mods.... PERFORMANCE (C/D EST): Zero to 60 mph: 3.4 sec Zero to 100 mph...- Livernois

That is just the trans engaging the next gear with greater shift pressures...nothing to worry about. That will soften about after a week or so of NORMAL driving. If you consistently drive aggressively the ECM will allow the trans to maintain its aggressive characteristics.- Livernois

The point is that AFR is a conversion calculation for someone that is monitoring what is going on as a vehicle is in operation. We do not base ANY of our tuning or modifications off of a converted value. We only use Lambda. All of the fuel that we have here is E10.- Livernois

That is not one of our dynographs. We do plot power VS RPM...look back at any graph that we have posted. Secondly, to your reference on stoich, you are assuming that the fuel that is present is pure gas at 14.7. That is definitely not the case. The Lambda of 93 pump fuel is more like 14.1...- Livernois

Slicky, Definitely sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your exhaust. We have installed about 4 of these exhausts in house and the pictures that I posted were from an install that we did for the owner of one of the local Ford dealerships. We did not have to make any modification to the kit...- Livernois

There are not different strategies for those modes even stock. Our tune does alter each driving mode just like the factory tune does. It is drive by wire, so there are slight modifications that occur when you select different modes. For example, sport mode's mapping typically gets better MPG VS...- Livernois

Aftermarket Sport Exhaust Thread
304 stainless is far superior to 409 SS in just about every way. Not only will it instantaneously produce surface rust, but it will severely corrode if you are in a winter weather climate like we are. The materials are also likely sourced from overseas. Whereas, all of our exhaust products are...- Livernois

You do not have to. There are 2 options like I said earlier. The "tips" that are located in the beauty panel of the bumper pop out and you can route the round tips through the rhombus shaped opening in the bumper. The Beauty panel even pops right back into place!- Livernois

Tuning options for 2016 Sport???
We have tons of experience with all ROM fuels. The EcoBoost platform has torque based shifting and power creation logic. There is no way that you can accurately compare the RPMs like you are asking.

So here you are assuming that the car only makes 14.9#s. If you read my prior response you will see that I said that the car wastes boost on the stock 2BAR MAP sensor. This means that the car makes MORE than 14.9#s of boost. The STOCK XSport makes spikes north of 15.9#s. So the 3BAR MAP sensor...- Livernois
