What Have You Done To Your S550 Today?

  • Sponsors (?)


Installed Roush Axleback, Steeda CAI, & Brenspeed 91 octane tune. Also, got some Ford seat covers for the ceramic interior. Love the sound of the Roush axlebacks. The tune made a huge difference! Wants to pull even more through every gear. The Steeda CAI makes a nice induction whistle when accelerating. Couldn't be happier with these mods, and didn't kill my bank account. Now I need to find some wider wheels/tires for the rear.

Put on the Steeda IRS bushing supports. Trying to tighten up the back end. Don't want to launch hard one day and have the diff blow out from wheel hop.

Took a short drive after getting them in. Not bad. A little firmer but nothing too terrible. Definitely less rubbery starting from a stop.
 
We have been working on retuning my car last few days and have just finished the last bit of it up. We found a little hiccup in one of our old data logs that lead us to this tuning go around, We found that my IMRC plates were not opening fully under boost. I think it's safe to say that this left some power on the table so I'm itching to get the car back on the dyno
 
Wheel swap before I took the drive to see the girlfriends family. Didn't want to drive 2 hours each way on skinny tires and drag radials lol

Have to put on the comfortable shoes every now and then. Can't party in your gym shoes. The car looks great. When's the next dyno day?
I'm in the middle of construction of a new shop. I'm hoping to have everything in and running sometime in January. The dyno will beliving from our old facility to the new shop soon. After we get that stuff buttoned up (since it's been taking all my spare time lol) I'll get some more dyno info. Also looking to change the converter this winter as well.

I have 35% tint all the way around mine and it's hardly noticeable at night time, car still looks 100x better with the 35% as compared to no tint at all.

Does look good. 35% *might* be enough.
I'm in California, so legally, I'm pretty restricted on what I can put on the driver/passenger side windows. I think 70% is what's allowed. I could always do whatever, but I risk getting pulled over. I was considering something pretty dark for the back and the quarters and staying legal on the sides, but it might look a little odd.

Tint looks good. How's the night visibility with that level of tint?
Visibility is not the greatest at night. My truck has 35% and that's about as low as I wanted to go, but when I seen what 20% looked like on the car I said we gotta do it. If your car is a daily driver, especially at night I wouldn't recommend 20%.

I didn't even know what IMRC plates were. What kind of A/F ratio do you have at full tilt?
