Just got the car back today, and it gets tuned tomorrow. It has a base tune for now, so it can be driven at least. First impressions are it has a deeper tone that is less raspy for sure. The cam thumps a tad harder than my old Torquer V2, but with a deeper tone. Also the new motor has less valve train noise...that kind of surprised me. I can't get on it just yet, but once she is tuned i'll keep you guys posted

Glad you got the base tune. Didn't see your earlier post.

Different injectors = hydrolock if not tuned.

Yeah i'm reusing the same 42 lb injectors, but my tuner took a complete mod list with the new setup to burn a base tune for the moment. It still will stall here and there, but overall it runs good. Also forgot to mention I replaced the transmission. I was just going with new bronze syncros, but got a whole new transmission for the same price. No more shifting issues

Okay new update: Car went on the dyno to be tuned today, and when the tuner went to spray it he quickly found a broken nitrous line, as it started spraying pretty bad into the engine bay. No biggy...new line along the way...but no N2O numbers N/A numbers were 420/380. All tuning was done by Vector Motorsports, and is on a Mustang Dyno as well. I'll have it thrown on a Dynojet just for fun (the one I used before I blew the motor) so I can get a back to back comparison. Car should be good to go by next week for sure
