Great so far, though no one ever seems to want to play. :(

Welcome to the boosted Z life. No one takes the Z car seriously till they get their ass handed to them. :driving:

:icon18:
There have been a good number of American muscle cars who roll up, look for a second but then slow back down...was it something I did? :(

Haha, I understand. I hope we can hear/see more of the kit in action soon!

I hate to beat a dead horse here, but have your impressions on FI's LTH changed since the SC installation? I might have overlooked it, but I wasn't sure if a conclusion was made.

On the F.I. long tube headers:
-I am very happy with how things are, we are running around 5.5-6.0PSI and making great numbers (should be on a dyno jet later this week for an accurate run). With the stage 1 SC setup it might be a bit much in terms of flow, since people also seem to want to see 8.0PSI and the top numbers. Though for me that was not the plan, it was to test both items and to build for the future of a larger kit (stage 2 or 3 maybe). Now I have been very happy with the results so far, and if you can look past that we are making less boost you will see we are making good HP/TQ.

Thanks dreamer!

With the F.I. exhaust on order I am curios how it will change things versus the Berk.
It will be a bit more free flowing with a straighter design, but will it cause any loss in PSI though?

Given that you have LTH's, any substantial drop in boost pressure has likely already occured.

That is what I figure, a slightly more open exhaust will not alter much other than sound mostly.

sounds like you know boost is going to drop, but you don't want to believe it? I would think that boost WILL drop even more if you free up the exhaust more. If Sam was right and its a VVEL + free exhaust problem then you should lose power with your exhaust.

BTW, "accurate" is not the right qualifier to use for a dynojet. The Mustang is actually more consistent and yields numbers that are closer to actual power output than the dynojet does. So call them "more comparable" not more accurate.

In terms of accurate, this will be though.
The dyno we originally use has some "problems," as I do not know what exactly I will just say my original dyno full bolt on NA put me well above 320whp on a mustang dyno. While a few weeks earlier on another mustang dyno in town I was putting down 290whp, which is where I should be. I am saying it will be more accurate in the sense of giving a real reading for comparison for Sam to use.

On the the point of more flowing exhaust, boost might go down, it all comes down to who much freer it is compared to the Berk. Also, more flow and boost loss does not equate to power loss as we can see with this build already.

Congrats Dreamer:tup:. What was the final setup that you went with on the exhaust?

Fast Intentions 18" Resonators with SS mufflers
Long talks with Tony about the LTH and exhaust setup and we both agree that 18" is the best combo with the LTH, and the SS mufflers is just because I like them. :tup:

Cant wait to see them and hear them. Im sure it is going to sound great. Your car is really loud already is this going to make it even louder? I hope so! ;)

Probably a bit louder, but a more refined sound.
