Livernois Tuned EcoBoost Track Videos - World's Quickest Gen IV SHO & More

[BigDan]

I too thought they would be faster than what they are, but pretty damn good still.

I think the early expectations that this car was easily capable of 500hp may have set the bar a bit high.

Nice Sho's

+1

I was also hoping to see quicker SHO's by now.

I think you would have to do a lot of fabrication and move the turbos, because there isn't any room in the factory location.

You guys put a 1000hp twin gt35r turbo kit on a stroked Raptor! I'd imagine this car would be childs play compared to that! Anybody know what the stock bottom end should be good for? Is it forged from the factory or no?

 

[MachME]

Is the drive train in the SHO the same as the MKS or did ford make slight changes when they made the SHO after the MKS?

 

[Kellyo77]

Any word on EB F-150 tunes.

Wanna know this myself!

I'm very impressed! Well done guys!

 

[StacyStangz]

Great vids Rick.

This, I got a couple guys in my town that have been bugging me about getting a tune for their EB trucks.

What mods are done to the flex? It's just a 3.5 v6 all engine right? Low 13's for that boat is impressive!

Still working on it...

:lol:

The bottom end is not forged and we aren't sure what they will take.

It's the same...

It's a twin turbo 3.5 just like the SHO, and it has no mods other than our tune.

Hot damn I almost ran our Livernoise Tuned SHO Friday and should have now lol. Took it out late at night and it was barking 2nd gear hard. More like actually spinning the tires just a hair on the 1-2 shift.

Thanks Rick for the tune again.:rockon:

How far can you turn the boost up on those things?

 

[351wvan]

Thats some good times for a big car, I dont think poeple realize how big the Taurus is.

 

[Badasp5.0]

Oh cool. Great work!

We don't increase boost much (1-1.5 lbs). The turbos are so small, they will just generate a lot of heat. Having a SHO for a shop car, we've figured out what works and what doesn't to make power.

Have you tried creating and installing a pair of downpipes? That should help with spool time, top end power, and heat buildup. And how about some short-ram intakes? My girlfriend is looking at the Flex Limited or Titanium with Ecoboost. This is giving me some ideas already.

 

[Tucker]

Very cool Rick

We have not, but those aren't bad ideas.

Very cool Rick

Thanks Jay!

Those Flexes look like they're about to pull the front tires haha

I hope you guys look into it, could be a great way to make more power. If there are cats in the stock downpipes, you can unlock a great deal of more power (30+ hp). If they don't have cats, a larger diameter and smoother design will still net you the results I posted above.





plus.....if you do choose to make a Livernois downpipe, why not make a design that could fit a possible Livernois turbo upgrade down the road? Food for thought.

The SHO's are moving out but I'm damn near more impressed by the Flex's! I already wanted one of those for my wife's next car but after seeing one with just a tune run mid 13's now I'm definitely in! Does the Flex retain its factory gas mileage after your tune?
