Corrected pulls on the Mustang showing 551 first pull and 559 second pull. VRUS and Benzgal were on the money....it was still learning even on the dyno. Correction factors are kinda like voodoo, but it felt real strong.Thanks again V!!!!

Thanks!

This is only the tip of the iceberg.. I've got new heads coming... shorter rear gears, reinforced transmission, modified Transmission control unit (EGS), TT kit, new intercooler design...

Want to see what a 900hp E55 looks like??? heheheeh .

VRUS --- you're definitely the man!!!! I'm sure you'll have a lot of interest in the new heads and the new intercooler. I know that I'll be buying both of those.

Congrats Jim! Mine gets faster and faster each day!
Jim what kind of headers do you have? I might as well do those now to keep up with you boys. I just can't have you boys beating me at the track. LOL

Vic,
I want 900hp! I bet buying your parts is cheaper than doing the 6.0! Keep me on your list buddy.

I am shooting for having my dyno done Thursday night and will post the results. I can't wait for the rest of you to get it!

Jim or Vic..have you guys noticed that your MPG has gone to hell? LOL

Angela,

I see the mod bug has hit you hard too huh?? I already told you before that I am putting aside 1 of everything for you.. There will be a set of heads with your name on it and a pink bow!!

Although... I am a little offended that you didnt get into the CF airbox gig..

As for the headers, put the Evosport headers on. They are good for 30 or so hp...

You know... I just realized, here I am passing all the secrets and parts along to you guys, and my car is the slowest one??? hahahahahahhah... I really need to get my ECU tune straightened out.. This is getting ridiculous now..

Oh yeah.. MPG... Well.. that's another story... I have a heavy foot!!! 18L/100km...

Ok...ok...you twisted my arm.

I am going to talk to them on Thursday about the headers! I am already getting the NOS, but what is one more light pole to take out.

It is the exact same... both 80mm w/ a matching inlet side. The only difference is the 80mm Y-pipe which I'll be adding. Results will be the same.

I couldn't wait 1+ month to receive the VRUS TB with all you freaks put out over 500rwhp TODAY!!! LOL

Just some quick scans for ya.

Even if the corrected numbers are messed up, this seemed pretty accurate in that my time picked up roughly .3 sec from last time. Now if I can just lay this down at the track.

LOOK AT THE FRIGGIN 60 FOOT. Ohhhhhhh, to be able to hook up on the track like that.

Annnnd, the graph for ya.

You can see where I ran lean. Next run fattened out much nicer. Max lean was around 12 on next one.

Uncorrected HP at 4300ft was 455 and TQ was 602ft lbs at 3038rpm.

$2825 CDN + shipping. That works out to approx $2500 USD.

You want one?

Thanks! Heads & intercooler will be the key to unlocking massive power.... My intercooler stuff will be less than half what the "other guys" are selling for...

WOW look at that tq. That is the highest I have seen and on a mustang dyno too. You are definately running lean or something. Your hp should be in the 520-540 range. Nice very nice

What was your bump with the TB?

OK, I'm confused. Is the dyno plot showing crank values or rear wheel values?

It looks like the torque curve is falling off too fast. The peak HP RPM is way too low, especially considering the cams. How's your IC system working?
