Best tune for 2011 SHO?
Hey guys! Recently got a Ford Taurus SHO, my first ever car!
I bet this question gets asked a lot, but from the post i’ve seen it’s usually about the newer models, with Gearhead being cited as the best option because of AO [among other things]
Since I have a 2011 though, I wouldn’t be able to use the auto octane feature. Not a big deal, I exclusively run premium anyways. But with that being said, are there some other tuning kits that would be a bit more worth it or is Gearhead still the best option?
[Some quick clarifications to add: This is a NON-PP model. I’ve made sure to take care of maintenance first! Internal waterpump was taken care of, PTU, oil, and tires and brakes are good to go! I also plan on getting a full on kit including the map sensors and spark plugs! I’m also considering a cold air intake and blow off valve if that matters at all, cheers!]
