My Stage II build is complete --- the results are in (cam/cat-back/pulley) After much research and back-and-forth with different options, I finally called up the boys at KDI and decided on the parts needed to reach my goal --- a 10-second daily-driver.
I ended up going with KDI's Street Sweeper cam, Stainless Works cat-back exhaust, IDE 850 injectors, and a 2.85" upper pulley, and KDI's heat exchanger pump, to go along with my already-existing 9.55" lower pulley, CAI, and heat exchanger. I didn't want to add more boost per se, but with the addition of the cam and cat-back, I figured I'd lose a couple pounds and I wanted to keep the boost around 14# after the build.
Dealing with KDI was a breeze and they were more than helpful, answering my countless questions via phone, email and text. Any questions I had were promptly answered and this is why I decided to go with them. The install went off without a hitch and it was finally time to put the beast on the dyno. Before this build my car put down ~ 530 whp with the 9.55" lower pulley, AirRaid CAI, heat exchanger and dyno tune.
After a few runs getting everything dialed-in, the car put down 596 whp and 620 ft/lb of torque on a Mustang dyno. The cam pulls so hard down low. This dyno only started to read above 3500 RPM and the cam was instantly making ridiculous power. On one of the runs it made 650 ft/lb of torque.
Here are a couple of the dyno runs.

And here is what the exhaust sounded like before the tune, so it's a little choppier than it is now

And here are some clips I took this afternoon with the Go Pro. The sound is subdued because the camera is in it's waterproof housing, so it's muffled quite a bit. Turn the volume up.

I'm very happy with the build and can't wait to get my 10-second slip. I went to the track last Wednesday on a warm night and was consistently running 11.2. The car was pulling a little timing up top, so my tuner tweaked it and it's running real good right now. Weather permitting, I'll give it another run this Wednesday. I highly recommend KDI for any of your needs, they know their stuff and are extremely helpful with any questions you may have.
