DYNO
I think I am going to take to another dyno place in a couple weeks do run there. It feels fast I smoke srt gc, M3 etc. I have a love hate relationship with aftermarket I am a horsepower ****, you always want to believe hp figures. I have to get vort carbon fiber hood on going to paint same color as car just have carbon fiber scoops, they should help with heat.

Get it dynoed somewhere else. Those numbers are off. You will be closer to 460awhp and 560tq with you mods. Guys with downpipes are close to 500awhp and 600tq. There are one or two that I know of with full exhaust, headers, downpipes, and upgraded turbos. In Russia a truck with the same mods is running a 11.2 in the 1/4 I believe.

FTP is not a well-regarded vendor. IIRC they were actually booted from MBWorld by InternetBrands and now conduct business on the other "Planet" forum...... plenty of old threads here to read about their business practices, etc.
Whatever money you spent with them is likely gone for good, and even if you DO get your parts it's unlikely that you'll be impressed with the quality or performance of what you get.

you shouldshare your story there
I dont know why ppl hold back when it comes to this clown.
This is second story in as many weeks where the farmboy failed to deliver.
If you didnt know.......Fabtech runs his business from his parents farmhouse on their gigantic compound in middle Ohio. There is no shop. There isnt even a lift. There are no other employees. The only employee is him. Look him up on Ohio list of businesses website.

I will admit when I first put the HR lowering links in the back to the setting the had shipped with, it was a bit more bouncy. I changed the height in the rear just a bit and it rode so much better. Here is the link on mbworld when I posted new wheels for the 55 and X5. Since then, the x5 has settle quite a bit and sits much lower now.
