1998 Bolt On Results step by step
Hell, I have a 98 with auto, I dont understand what the big deal is. The numbers seem right to me, plus not all cars dyno the same anyway. My 98 makes a little more power than posted 4 all you bs callers

Calm it down you to. The stock numbers are probably I little high. Hell, one of my runs said 345 RWHP stock, sometimes the dyno does read it wrong which is why you do it more than once.
98-99 are the same btw.

Track times will prove it, thats what matters anyway.
For the record I'd like to say thanks to Katfishracing for posting those results.
Sorry about the BS calling, but the initial stock numbers just seemd to be too high from what I thought I knew about mustang dyno's. Apparently there was more to the story.
Anyhow, the most important part of the post was the gains anyhow, and that was very helpful and interesting, especially to me since I am about to add an LS6 intake and Pacesetter LT's w/orp. So thanks for taking the time to post the step by step results!
PS-chrd, no problem man, lol.

i know mike and lambeth personally, i have known them for probably six months and was at the track the night that it ran 10.98 and i have seen this car and its mods. if they say it made those numbers on a mustang dyno then i believe them, neither one of them have any reason to lie about the numbers. my 98 with no tune and just lid, pulley and catback, made 322 and 332 with 108000 miles on it. mike's car is simply amazing to watch.

I have to throw out here that it all depends on the dyno and you really can't make a comparison unless it's your car back o back. I did 385 on the mustnag dyno. Then did nothing to the car all week and ran on the dyno jet the following week and got 389. Had to take the ac belt off to get to 393. It just depends. No matter what it's a baseline and as long as you make your comparisons on the same dyno that's great. I noticed the improvements looked about right for each mod. Great car. Bet it's a blast to drive now. Thanks for posting up. It's always great to see some reality for all those manufacturers claims.

The stock cat back with the long tubes was still very quiet, even at WOT it was not a huge difference from stock. With the cutout open... thats a different story. We put an electric cutout on it, great sleeper mod.

02WS6,
The long tubes/off road Y and stock catback is very very doscile. I had the bassani put on and I almost regret it. I still have the factory catback and as soon as I make 50 posts, and am able to put a for sale add on this board, I am gonna sell the bassani and put back the stock catback.
Anyone want a highly prices bassani???
400 and its yours!!!
Will trade for a set of draglites!!!

even the owner of that car didn't think it was real
i'm another local and can tell you they don't lie about numbers or try to "play" with the numbers.... they have crushed many dreams and made some (like me) keep there car when they thought about selling it....
sucks don had to go and get rid of the thing
