Default Mod bug bit me bad! Dyno and new numbers inside!

So I went from bone stock besides Pisnuoff's short shifter, a V2 shift **** and CS Motormounts to a Maggie, Kooks 1 7/8 headers, Flowermaster exhaust setup, 10% Overdrive pulley and etc.
Installed the blower and everything myself with a massive amount of help from deedub! Thanks so much for the parts and help with the installation I really apperciate it! Thanks to CancerJ and Rand49er for some maggie advice and anyone else I forgot to mention.

A local shop by the name American Intense Racing helped me tune the car, Baseline with the mods and maggie it made 424 to the wheels after the tune we made 474rwhp however at the very end my stock pump leaned itself out so I got a new pump going in tomorrow and we should be able to see a nice straight line hopefully have the power at 480-490. I plan on going flexfuel this summer so after that I will be over 500 !

Now time for dyno videos, ill try to post my dynosheet up later!
Baseline...

Final Dyno at 474rwhp

Enjoy!
P.S sorry for all the shakiness I did it on my phone and I was too excited, first time at a dyno too , be sure to turn up those speakers!

Hey thanks guys! I really wish I knew how much boost too hahah!

Tommy I hope this inspiration for you to take the V out of the garage and get going, I can't wait to see what the whipple puts down.

Itsslow-costed a little less for me but in that ballpark figure, it may be quite a bit of money but you only live once so I figure why not have some fun even if it will cost me some money and not really add value, I do it because I love cars and modding them even if price vs value sucks

Hey like I said wasn't taking anything away from your car and how it performed, strictly saying the mod list wasnt small lol. If I cared about resale I wouldnt be putting 8500 bucks into a 1500 dollar mustang coupe just so i can have an ls1/t56 lol.

Still waiting on a few parts
Probably going to install my intank pump and hotwire kit this weekend.
I could start on bolting the intercooler and pinning the crank too.

The shop doing the dyno didn't monitor how much boost you were introducing into the system?

true, i never buy anything and think.."well if i sit on it for 20 years maybe itll be worth something"..lol every toy i own i use. and if i dont ,it gets sold and i buy something i will use.

nice number OP... when i do get some time mine still has to go to the dyno so i can lean her out a little more..currently sitting at 11 afr wot with 9 psi..and around 16 degrees of timing..so i have a ways to go but the cars running fine for now.

I hear yea, I built an s10 that I had 22k in, sold it for 6k cash when I bought my house, shitty but true, only worth as much as someone else is willing to pay in the time your willing to wait
