No, nothing ultra trick here. Just a typo that caused all sorts of confusion.

The heads are still sporting the 2.08/1.600 valves. That is about as trick as the head setup gets.

I've got all of the final parts I need to button the car up and get it on the road. It should be mobile this evening. Lucky for me, though, it's going to start raining tonight/tomorrow so that will some of my driving/tuning.

I'll post my impressions of driving the car in it's horribly un-tuned state when I get it going.

Some photos of the nearly final product. Also a comparison of the stock throttle body versus the 95mm piece from RevXtreme.

Got to drive around for a while this evening.

After getting the car cured of it's "airflow vs TPS correlation high" errors (thanks to Scott at Intune), it moved quite well under it's own power.

Initial impressions...I've got to re-learn how to drive the car. The throttle position I'd used before to pull away from a stop would garner quite a bit more RPM. Throttle response is quick to say the least. I never went past ~40% TPS and still it seemed to have power everywhere. After driving, I'm a bit more optimistic about the power that the car will make.

I can't wait to get it all dialed in.

That is AWESOME bro !! Glad you got to drive the beast. Can't wait to see what she puts down. I am pulling for high numbers.

Back up from the dead with this one.

Finally put the car on the local Mustang Dyno (so lovingly named the Heartbreaker) today.

415/368 are the final numbers.

I'm not able to take a good photo of the dyno sheet so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to scan it.

I can't thank Scott at Intune enough for burning a Sunday to do the WOT tuning and put the final touches on driveability.

I'm happy with it! Several of my friends on I were placing guesses on what we thought the car would make. It made what I guessed, but I'm sure I don't get anything for it!
