Can Troyer tune a Taurus...?

I recently drove an F-150 with a Troyer tune. My question is...Can Mike tune my wife's '99 Taurus...?

Its a sickness, you have it now. Best cure is to drive down to your local Ford dealer and pick up a new GT. If you don't have $200K layin around for that, the next best bet is a new Mustang GT, or in a few months the New Mustang Shelby GT 500. Tuning a Taurus, if you weren't serious I'd have to

I tried to convince a buddy of mine, who had just sold his '99 Cobra for a 05 Windstar, to get a tuner...

Taurus, lawnmower, chainsaw, VW, I've modded em all. Could never leave anything alone. As Navi says, it is a sickness. We won't know if krohbar's buddy is cured until we see if he tries to mod the windstar. The disease can often be reined in, but seldom cured.

After all, Navi needs to wring every ounce of performance from his 4 ton beast. I do the same with my 3 tonner. Quite frankly, we are all pretty darn sick.

By the way, I think Mike Troyer could tune a propane torch.

Mike,

I think this thread is a testament to what people have experienced after installing a custom tune from Troyer Performance!

I know I'm very impressed with all of my gains (per my butt dyno -- and soon to be your dyno).

In the meantime, I'm pricing out Power Wheels for my god son for Christmas. Naturally, I want himi to experience the most from his 12v system... can you tune this?




Also, does anyone know where I can pickup an off-road X-pipe for this beast?



In all seriousness... it's good to see a thread like this up here... it's a nice escape from the detracting banter that has been prevalent.

RP

But where do you plug in the tuner on the torch?

Tuning a 4 ton beast, I should be slapped
