Sorry that I must have overlooked that you didn't install the LS6 intake manifold.

You don't have to replace the knock sensor harness as it will work with the newer style sensors. But check that the harness is in good shape before you install the LS6 intake obviously. It's possible that the intake manifold was off at one point. Torque the knock sensors properly. Make sure to use new intake manifold seals as well. Fel Pro makes a nice set for $25.

MSD wires are the best wires out there.

As far as the Fuddle... I still think it is inefficient.

Not really mid year, only some of the very late '00 cars received them.

Cool I'll go ahead and do the knock sensors too when I put the LS6 on.

I hope to put around 340 with my tune on a dyno jet.

ive seen 243s on 02s,lots of 241s on the earlier years,People these days put to much imphasis on dyno numbers,i own a dyno and i think that lol.His lower numbers can stem from alot of things,he said he isnt using the ls6 intake,that hurts numbers,early knock sensors will cause kr issues,and we all know that these cars like the timing.Type of dyno,weather conditions.So many things play a factor.Big stalled autos are power eaters aswell.

You may in fact have, but it wasn't stock on an F-body. Ever. Period.

Yeah, don't dwell too much on the numbers, mustang dynos usually show more real world numbers anyway.

just my $.02 Stop buying gas on post, it's downright cruddy. unless you like cleaning your engine regularly from clogs, and removing all that water from your tank... Stopped buying fuel from AAFES in 2006 and never looked back..
