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.

290 is more like it. Yeah the Dynojet you should be more comparable to Sam's numbers...also remember that GTM uses STD numbers. I think you're going to be a few short of advertised judging by your mustang number.

How exactly do you know this: "more flow and boost loss does not equate to power loss as we can see with this build already." How do you know that if you didnt have the headers you wouldn't have made more power? After all, Shumby made a lot more power without the headers than with them. For all you know, you are making less power than you could be.

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.

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.

I think hes getting an EVO X. And if this site wasnt against street racing, i would tell you all how bad i smoked a new STI last night on the freeway. But we dont support street racing so i wont say that.

Shumby had a boost leak and was on a time restraint.
Also, from every article I have read on superchargers and long tube headers, better flow will help increase power. Now, we could go back to stock setup and run a full 8PSI and maybe push a few extra HP or TQ, but why when I can run less boost and be more efficient and equal power?

Beginning of October time frame.

The question is did you get your ride back buddy?!? Houston weather and roads almost forces you to have a diff daily driver. Hope to see the car out and about again!

Why is that ? Please explain ? Ah yes, I know, there is 6ft of snow for 8 months of the year.

I have a 99 Ford Taurus SE! for sale, $500. Needs a new head gasket. You interested ?
