Hang in there man, there are a lot of people in here that appreciate and respect the hard work you put in the past couple of days (me being one of them) Just stay focused and do your thing. The last thing I want is for all of this to ruin your excitement for this car. I hope you guys continue to do more R&D and create more products to enhance this platform.

Im on my cell posting so do my best here. Yes the header can bolt up. This was how we were able to dyno each part.

I hope to get the rest of the dyno charts up tonight.

3rd gear vs. 5th gear? People are dynoing these cars pretty much at random gear wise. They should be done in 5th since it's 1:1. Since our cars are low powered, it's probably just fine to do it in 3rd. It really doesn't matter because you really shouldn't be comparing dyno results from different dynos. You are just looking at the difference from run to run on the same dyno.

I think vivid pretty much did everything you could possibly ask a vendor to do. The only thing left might be a run at the strip for times and trap speeds. Overall, the gains are still pretty good and about what you would expect. I don't see why there is still drama.

I have slips from 9 runs at firebird raceway when it was stock and I'm going back the tenth of August, so I can post those results also.

I've been seeing 165ish on dynojets after break in; mustangs usually record less than a Dynojet, not more.

Good results.

My only question is to the torque curve. Most torque curves I see take a dive at 6.5k-6.8k rpms. This one really doesn't have much dip. I like it! How did you doit even stock?

You gonna drift this time?

Also, any idea if/when Vivid is going to offer tuning for these cars? I'm probably going to hold off on the intake/exhaust until we can get proper tuning to go along with it.

Lol, yeah. I'm gonna drift this time. I'm interested to see what I run this time with the exhaust and pulley.
