OK so I talked to Matt at RW Carbon yesterday (great guy and VERY easy to get ahold of by the way) and he is looking into both the Gruppe M style carbon air intake and the Carbonio style airboxes & intake combo. He is going to get back to me and let me know what he finds as far and what kind of pricing he could offer for a group-buy. I will start a new thread for this to gauge interest once we have something in the works. Fingers crossed...

So I ended up buying the intake through JL Motoring, great price with free shipping and it should be here within a week hopefully so don't have to worry about long shipping from china! I needed this quick because I am planning to do a dyne tune soon.

So I finally picked up my car after various delays with parts and labor and all. Still getting used to the car so can't really say much about performance differences yet. One thing however- that transmission seems to have a hesitation in first and second gear right at 2k rpm. Maybe the new tcu and valve body hasn't completely adapted yet? Or is it supposed to be like that after the upgrade (more aggressive)?
Also, I want to look into deleting the EGRs like the stage 3, if it yields any performance or any benefits..
Thanks

Still getting used to it, but it runs real strong and pulls hard, especially on the top end! And yeah FS Tuning did all the work!
Thanks!!
Thanks! Yeah the power is great and the tune is real aggressive too... dyno tune is next!

So we put my car on the dyno over the weekend (I missed it- was in chicago for a wedding) but my indy and his shop were watching over it. eurocharged was in town to do dyno tuning, so we took the car to a dyno shop which had a mustang dyno... before a dyno tune car did 543hp/548tq (florida summer- 95 degrees, high humidity). While tuning "it kept leaning out on the top end" so it was recommended we get some 550cc injectors once i put those on, add the tune and I will dyno it again. This was the first time i had the car on the dyno so i have nothing to compare for gains.
What do you guys think about 543 on a mustang dyno seem about right for a stage 2? Im going to go to the shop later today to check up and get my hands on the dyno graphs for you guys.
Also, if all is good, I might take the car out to the street racing made safe at WPBIR next saturday!

I pulled 578hp and 500tq last fall on a mustang dyno at 65 degrees and this summer pulled 540 and 490 tq and something felt off it seemed to have some belt slip and the blower was getting really hot on pulls and it was pulling timing. So to me your numbers seem about rite with the warm temps ect...

550cc injectors installed with the eurocharged dyno tune. Will try to get it dynoed again soon!
Also, my mechanic (the guy w the stage 3 p31) is offering me his drag radials in trade for my spare tire lol. Good deal? BF Goodrich still have good life left

Your car sounds like a monster and is performing how it should. Wait till you get some 50* temps without the humidity, the blower truly makes it an entirely different car. It returns that edginess you felt the first time you got behind the wheel when it's raining outside and your tires are getting bald lol. Enjoy it and dont think twice about it breaking, but i would start setting aside something for the transmission fund - but at your rate you may not need it for another 8yrs.

That was probably my thread you saw.

oh yea i saw you mentioned egr delete. It's actually secondary air injection. This engine has no egr- it can do internal egr by just using camshaft timing adjustment to have big overlap. Secondary air injection is in no way going to affect power. It's only active in the first 30 seconds you cold start your car and typically whenever it is stopped or at a drive through to do the self test on the system. It sounds like a small vacuum cleaner when it is on. Basically it just pumps fresh air into your exhaust system during cold start to help the catalyst operate properly since you have to run the engine rich during cold starts.
